I think that the ChanFag has it just about right.
Manafort was a plant with a promise of “protection” from the DS. Sure, we might have to indict you but, that’s part of our plan. Nothing will come of it, promise.
Then, Manny is told, well, there’s been a slight change. You may have to spend some time in “white collar prison”. Optics are very important. No big, very easy time in gaol.
Manny’s name is dragged through the mud and he is asked to cop a plea to a felony charge (civil service future shot; lobbyist career shot). His wife is implicated as a “co-worker” by the media.
Yep, he blew the whole thing up because SC-RM and the Clowns kept moving the goal posts on him.
Paul Manafort is a #DeepState Ukranian money launderer (convicted). This is Deep State doing a wrap up smear on one of their own to smear an enemy (Assange). https://t.co/tvQQ8VF4ed— John Salisbury (@5Strat) November 28, 2018
Ukraine and its current corrupt gov is the result of USAID > Soros NGOs with Victoria "Nasty" Nuland as "king maker". Those responsible for this should face The Hague! Oligarch Poroshenko terrorizes UKR citizens as he enriches himself further. Sickening!— Crusader ⭐️ Nationalist ⭐️ MAGA 🇺🇸 (@MSPOA) November 28, 2018
