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.
We need to clean up HilLIARy’s and dnc and sorozNazi money !!!!!!!!!! Who gives a damn about a two- bit actor ? This is 90 pervert bs compared to the enemies of America selling out our country and our defenses in 2008 and again four years on. Manafort is page 69 news at best. Where’s the indictment of Soros!?
he was actually working to undermine the Trump campaign when he was hired as the campaign manager.
Paul Manafort was fired from the Trump Campaign in the middle of August, 2016.
That would be a year and two months ago.
No Jeff Bridges,

Yup. Listening to stupid and sleazy Kevin McCarthy on tv this morning saying “We mustn’t think of ourselves; we must think of the American people only!”
Liar.
I agree about the diversion by Mueller, what I do find odd, however, is the Friday afternoon GJ indictment dump. These past two days have benefited DJT, not Mueller. We’ll know lots more tomorrow, and if this is about Manafort & wire transfers from ‘12, ‘13, I expect significant blowback.
More to the point even—it has absolutely nothing to do with Trump.
not a single political person associated with obamma was indicted or even investigated. Only recent administration not to have at least one. CORUPTE DEMOCRATS.

these people and organizations could have been the horsepower behind the CF/CGI which was steamrolling even other governments....
well its about noon in DC and no one has put out a statement that they are being indicted yet..they have to be notified today(although what is the time deadline for today?)
IMO the more time that goes by the less likely its Manafort....
Hoping that’s a typo, but just in case...

Kramer: “What?”
Seinfeld: “Statute of limitations. It’s not a statue.”

MUELLER VS. MANAFORT
...maybe he knows something
Manafort was brought into the campaign to get the needed delegates at the convention. For that, he was very successful.
Suspicious? He’s worth $30 million and has done only 13 wire transfers?
Those foundations “investing” in Madoff have an interesting history....some of them took out as profit MORE than they invested.
Can you say tax evasion?
One billion dollar profitable investor-—Picower-—was found drowned in the shallow end of his pool. His wife was “asked” to give back the money .....or else.
Personally I think Manafort's role in securing the delegates was overrated. I remember there being much ado at the time about Cruz "stealing" Trump delegates in various states - especially the caucus states - but when Trump decisively won the Indiana primary on May 3 - it was all over for Cruz. That's why he dropped out that night and Reince Preibus (then RNC Chair) declared Trump the presumed nominee.
At the time, Manafort did seem like the "steady hand" that Trump needed but as many remember, he was unceremoniously dumped in mid-August in favor of the duo of Kelly Ann Conway and Steve Bannon. A move that was derided by most at the time as a "desperate move by a dying campaign" but seems genius in retrospect.
Something happened behind the scenes to cause Trump to abruptly cut all ties with Manafort. Perhaps soon, we will have the answers.
How to cover up and dodge 30,000 email questions FBI at it’s finest.
He volunteered
As I recall Manafort worked for no pay
At the time Trumps campaign was under assault by the RNC, Cruz and other GOPe candidates seeking to turn, steal, disqualify or otherwise nullify the results of the state primaries and the compilation of delegate votes to secure Trumps nomination
Manafort came in as an expert on legal process, a pro at the game , and he beat them and Trump got the nomination he had EARNED
Quite a few Freepers saw Manafort then as a hero.
After Trump was nominated, Manafort’s job was done and he left the campaign. Deep State was starting to rumble because Manafort was not a player in the neocon “ civil war” drums they were beating in Ukraine. He was being hired to lobby for Russia’s interests.
Which is not illegal.
And Podesta was hired for the same.
Thanks for the info
