Former Campaign manager to the Trump team, Paul Manafort has turned himself into the authorities after the long-awaited charges were finally filed on Friday. It is not our place to judge his guilt, but we can ask one question What has this got to do with Donald Trump and the Russian conspiracy?
Back in the summer, the media had a frenzy about the FBI raiding Manaforts home searching for evidence of money laundering from his days as a Ukraine spin master and lobbyist. According to the filed charges (you can read them here), theyve found it. But not one of the charges mentions a single word about Donald trump, his campaign team, his presidential bid, or in fact anything whatsoever that you would expect from an investigation into the aforementioned!

The Media is screaming “TRUMP HAS TIES TO THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT.”
Trump, you had better get off your ass.
yep, absolutely nothing
The Media is concentrating on that George Papaoomaumau character as PROOF of Trump-Russian collusion.
This is from something that happened 12 years ago... What is the sculpture of limitations?
Excellent question.
Media is thrilled with delight that “Trump’s Tax Plan” is in serious trouble.
The Media machine and the Deep State smell blood.
The media is always mentioning this after saying “investigation into Trump campaign collusion with Russia.” They always add the words “, former Trump campaign director,” The public is too stupid to think otherwise. This is very effective. The media knows exactly what it’s doing.
about what?....
Nothing. Tony Podesta just stepped down from Podesta Group and lawyerd up.
Any connection between the campaign and the Russians. What did you think?
Nothing or Everything to do with President Trump, depending on whcih news channel you’re watching.
dude..there wasnt any...never was. Even if, its not a crime. Manafort was the manager, and there was no charges relating to anything like that..pay attention.
Probably not, since Mueller has to apply the screws to Manafort and Gates. I take that as an indication that their investigation is coming up short so far.
Even if, its not a crime.
That remains to be seen.
Manafort was the manager, and there was no charges relating to anything like that.
I am well aware of that.
pay attention.
I might suggest you do the same.
dude,,,youre falling for the CNN hysteria...Trumps name wasnt mentioned once in any indictment today...NOT ONCE. Show me the law that says “collusion” is a crime...there isnt any..its made up.
My lawyer would be looking up the statue of limitation for most of this. Anything over 7 years would be hard to prove due to tax document rules.
I’m not a lawyer but doesn’t this arrest open the whole dossier matter up to the sunshine of discovery??? If the prosecution is based on tainted evidence in an unsubstantiated and unfounded dossier, doesn’t that mean that the charges can’t or won’t stick? If the special investigator brought charges based on libel from an unsubstantiated and unfounded dossier, can’t Mueller be charged with prosecutorial misconduct or prosecutorial malfeasance. I sure hope Manafort has vicious lawyers to go after Mueller and the dossier regardless of his personal guilt or innocence -— for the sake and benefit of our legal system and all of us!!!
I do hope Justice prevails...with Mueller going to prison.
The Democrat Party and some of its candidates tried to influence the outcome of the election, but there’s no sign of that being seriously investigated.
