I'm not arguing that Manafort didn't launder money. I'm saying that assuming he did, that crime is not associated with any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and the campaign of President Donald Trump.
Say for sake of argument that somebody in the Trump campaign perpetrated a domestic violence or criminal reckless driving or provided material assistance to a terrorist organization. Of course those should be investigated. My point is "not by Mueller."
-- Timing on Manafort's deals are suspicious. Explain how a crime committed to the benefit of Manafort in 2008 or 2013 has a direct connection to an election campaign that began in the middle of 2015.
Oh well. If and when Trump's lawyer's argue that Mueller's investigation is outside of what he was authorized by Manafort, you'll be arguing the other side.
Yes.I would argue the other side. Timing on manafort and the shady dealings of his son in law coincide with campaign..and other things.
Given Russian/ukranian involvement with parties it is fair game for Investigation. There is a quid pro quo concern over russian money and the election .manafort is knee deep in foreign money.
If all is clean then mueller can clear it. Funny how Preet brought that very fact up..as if to say if you are clean then mueller will clear you..why fire him if you are clean
Of course..scooter Libby.
