FBI Probe Of Paul Manafort Focuses On 13 “Suspicious” Wire Transfers(from 2012)
Buzzfeed ^

Posted on 10/29/2017 6:20:04 AM PDT by janetjanet998

he FBI's investigation of Donald Trump's former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, includes a keen focus on a series of suspicious wire transfers in which offshore companies linked to Manafort moved more than $3 million all over the globe between 2012 and 2013.

Much of the money came into the United States.

These transactions — which have not been previously reported — drew the attention of federal law enforcement officials as far back as 2012, when they began to examine wire transfers to determine if Manafort hid money from tax authorities or helped the Ukrainian regime close to Russian President Vladimir Putin launder some of the millions it plundered through corrupt dealings.

The new revelations come as special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation is tightening, with reports that an indictment may already have been issued. It is not known if Manafort has been indicted, or if he ever will be. Manafort has been the subject of multiple law enforcement and congressional inquiries. A spokesperson for Manafort would not comment for this story about the investigation or any of the specific transactions, but Manafort has previously denied wrongdoing.

If he’s dirty then he needs to go to jail.

No doubt in my mind Manafort's dirty, the only question is "how dirty?" and is he being squeezed/leveraged somehow to go after a bigger target?

Since this is 2012 that's in scope here, I'm guessing it's very unlikely this has anything to do with President Trump, and certainly not the campaign given the 4 year time difference.

What did the Germans and Aussies get for their Clinton taxpayer funded donations? We know what the Russians got.

Agree. I think just being an a hole to Trump is something he’s dealt with in his sleep for 50years. But anyone seriously doublecrossing Trump has had to have his Justice come slowly and smart, and this could be it.

Mueller is hearing footsteps. Why leak on Friday when the indictment is Monday. I have two words for you Sean Hannity. Sean is fearless.

We were told of the uranium, the first time, around 2009 or 2010, if I remember right. It was reported, but no one paid attention to it. It all began before the 2008 election, covertly, of course, but it’s been going on for a long time. The FBI have known of the deep Russian spies and have been watching them for almost as long. I think Hannity has known for much longer than a year about about the Russian extortion, bribery, etc. The Russians have know of Hillary’s greed and desire for constant front page exposure, so as soon as she became SEC of STATE, they sicked a “lady” spy onto her inner group. The Russians have been studying American “statesmen” for as long as I can remember. They know which button to punch on every one they want something to happen.

...ITEM---The Australian newspaper the "Herald Sun" ran an October 2016 article entitled, “Why have we donated to Clinton’s foundation?” The paper noted "Former Australian Prime Minister Gillard donated $300 million of our money to the Clinton-affiliated Global Partnership for Education.”

This jumped out at me. Just goes to show the left is crooked everywhere. A small country (population-wise) could have used that amount of money far more wisely. We have private individuals donating and raising funds for cancer research, for example.

Perhaps this is the $ being discussed ..

“As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.”

She has a smile very similar to my Iris Setter when she has done something wrong.

Truly a debased woman .

Obama gave the Iranians 145 BILLION DOLLARS and Change. Mueller should be getting the rope ready for that act of treason. Fat chance. Mueller is as corrupt as Comey, Holder and Lynch.
