[snip]Manafort isnt the only person facing financial challenges because of the legal costs of responding to Muellers probe. Michael Flynn, the retired general and deposed National Security Adviser, is struggling mightily with his mounting legal bills, according to a source familiar with his situation. The expenses has put his familys finances under significant duress, the source said, and its expected he will soon create a legal defense fund to keep from going bankrupt.
Hiring the high-powered Washington lawyers necessary to respond to a deep-dive Justice Department investigation can be extraordinarily costly. And Manafortdespite his past lucrative contracts with foreign governments, and despite the fact that he owns numerous properties around the countryis feeling the pinch. Sources say thats part of the reason he is no longer retaining WilmerHale; the firm is known for handling Congressional investigations, but Muellers probe has now shifted its focus to international tax issueswhich meant Manafort needed lawyers with that expertise. So he has brought in Miller Chevalier, a boutique Washington law firm full of international law experts, and has parted with WilmerHale.

Wow,sweet! Way above my pay grade FRiend.
This is to SCARE off ANYONE and EVERYTONE that is NOT a SWamp Dweller!!
Anyone and EVERYONE will be RUINED that is on the right.....notice they are going after Trumps SECRETARY from the Trump Tower!!! That woman will have to pay TENS of THOUSANDS at Least in Attorney's Fees!!!
These Leftists MUST be STOPPED because NO OTHER Republican is EVER going to want to run for President to do Good things!!
5th Amendment crap makes you SEEM like you are GUILTY as sin!
THAT is exactly my point also!!
5th Amend has nothing to do with it. Unless and until you know what crime is alleged why talk to anyone? If someone thinks you did something let them bring the charge.
This is unacceptable, and Congress should actually pass a law saying that if the subject of such a witch hunt is NOT CONVICTED, the gubment must pay all legal bills.
I understand your sentiment completely, but they have already been declared guilty by the Ruling Class, no reason to help them out by offering more rope.
My guess is ths you haven’t had a lot of experience dealing with the Department of Justice.
DOJ operations:
Clinton will be invited to a meeting at her convenience. She will not be placed under oath and no record of the meeting will be made.
Manafort will have his doors kicked in at 5 AM. Materials that he was to present to Congress that same day are confiscated.
DOJ is controlled by the dark state uniparty.
Clinton withheld and destroyed materials under subpoena.
Manafort has provided Congress with whatever was requested.
DOJ is a rogue agency.
my experience with government at all levels tells me to only answer what is necessary and required by law and to never ever volunteer anything.
I can remember the goosestepping leftist politicians crying about how much money it was costing for investigations against them so where is the voice of the right?
How about going after Soros? I hear he is loaded.
Preibus in the crosshairs now as per NYT
Trump should pardon them. Then lock up all records. If Obama can do it, so can Trump.
President Trump will not do what he should and that is close down Mueller. Mueller is a communists Democrat and will destroy anyway he can everyone associated with Trump.
He [Mueller] and Comey are good friends and former colleagues who worked hand-in-hand at the FBI and Department of Justice. Agents will tell you they were joined at the hip.
Comey regards his predecessor as a mentor, while Mueller considers Comey his protégé. When Comey was appointed to succeed Mueller as FBI Director, both men appeared together and were effusive in their praise of one another. Their relationship is not merely a casual one. It is precisely the kind of association which ethical rules are designed to guard against.
