New charges were filed Thursday against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his business partner, ratcheting up the legal pressure on them as they prepare for a trial later this year.
A new indictment has long been expected in special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s prosecution of Manafort and his right-hand man, Rick Gates, on fraud and money laundering charges. Manafort served as President Trump’s campaign chairman from June to August 2016. Gates also served as a top official on Trump’s campaign. The new indictment contains 32 counts, including tax charges.

Manafort didn't collude with Russia in the election. Neither did Trump. Neither did Gates. Neither did Trump Jr.
This Mueller thing is an entity that needs to be dissolved.
Bigly.
Trying to keep the taxpayer funded Democrat Lawyer Gravy Train running for another year or two or three. This man has no shame.
It needs to sterilized with extreme prejudice!
Charges have nothing to do with Russia or collusion.
And that, right there, is why they did this today. So they can write that sentence and make Trump look dirty to the uninformed. “Whoa, Trumps campaign manager was laundering money? He’s crooked after all!”
Basically Mueller trying to justify his witch hunt by keep filing charges on low hanging fruit Manafort and Gates. Shameful.
Nothing regarding president Trump or the campaign.
Mr. President, please fire Mueller and Rosenstein. It will save the tax payers beau coup bucks.

Must be awesome to have a federally funded partisan stalker wrecking your life.
“Must be awesome to have a federally funded partisan stalker wrecking your life.”
Sessions sure has wrecked a lot of lives...all the wrong ones.
Ugh, I cannot stand that guy ><;
We’re paying Mueller to use FBI FISA warrant spying to kick down doors over 3-5 year old tax charges?
When his protege and friend James Comey helped Bill Clinton to pardon Marc Rich on his last day in office?
This is what the weasel Podesta did
It's a shame that Manafort was associated with the Trump campaign for a short time but his alleged crimes have nothing to do with Trump or the campaign. A lot of money laundering and tax evasion. If they are guilty of this, they should go away.
But they aren't the only ones. How did the Clintons exit public service hundreds of millions of dollars richer than when they went in? Last time I checked, Secretary of State made about $136K a year and when Bill was president, annual salary was around $200K a year.
That does not translate into hundreds of millions of dollars. Even adding in royalties for dopey books about Socks that Cat and cattle investments.
You are dead wrong. This will lead to Tony Podesta and the Clinton Foundation corruption.
I will be GLADLY wrong then. :)
Don’t worry... LS, the guy who blocked me on twitter today for telling him to buy a vowel.... well he is still confident Muller is working for team trump and is going to indict Podesta and Hillary just any day now.... so all with Muller is well....
Why would you tell him that on Twitter? He uses his full name on Twitter and it has plenty of vowels. I think you are just making that up.
