Have to laugh how all the news blurbs on this refer to it as from the Russian Probe...
Short answer? NOTHING
How much $$ to indict manafort on charges Mueller and the FBI were aware of when he was FBI director? Could have had this indictment for free years ago.
Directly? Nothing. But they may offer Manafort a deal in exchange for information on the campaign.
If any of the indictment is based on wiretap data then this may get thrown out. The wiretap was based on the Fusion GPS’ Trump Dossier which was paid for by the DNC and known to be largely speculative and sensational.
“What does this have to do with Trump?”
It has nothing to do.
It is all about threatening this guy and use this as a way to come up with fake BS on Trump or else...you fry.
When will Podesta be indicted?
This has nothing to do with collusion. But it does have something to do with Russia, through the Ukraine. And Mueller can investigate anything that includes the word “Russia”.
How did he know to go after Manafort for money laundering and not registering as a foreign lobbyist. And whose money did he launder?
After this laughable witch hunt, Trump needs to focus ALL guns on Mueller, Clinton, Podesta, and the Swamp. Put them in the “Nooses” that Hillary Clinton interestingly fears so much...
All about “word association” IMHO.
Doesn’t have to have any validity etcetera as the MSM Presstitutes know if they say DJT’s name and talking points that include TREE, SQUIRREL, FISH, CLEAN AIR, SAVE THE GAY WHALES, CARBON CREDITS, WILDERNESS ....... then right or wrong he becomes the greatest environmentalist evah ......
A Joesph Goebbles standard of propaganda for presstitutes and polidiots to validate undisclosed sources versions of “facts” .
It’s all about eye wash!
This gives the media plenty of opportunity to talk about Manafort being indicted for fronting for the Ukranians while failing to mention that these actions occurred long before he was associated with the Trump campaign.
Instead, the talking points will be that the indictment came out of the Mueller probe of a Russian connection to the Trump campaign.
The Media is screaming “TRUMP HAS TIES TO THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT.”
Trump, you had better get off your ass.
This is from something that happened 12 years ago... What is the sculpture of limitations?
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.
Nothing. Tony Podesta just stepped down from Podesta Group and lawyerd up.
Nothing or Everything to do with President Trump, depending on whcih news channel you’re watching.
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!!!
