what do the statute of limitations have to say?

"Manafort, who is now in jail, has been charged mainly for financial crimes not related to the campaign."
..
"The judge rejected Manafort's argument that Mueller lacked authority to prosecute him."

Right out of Beria’s NKVD: Show me the man, I’ll find you the crime.
Jumped out at me too.
“Everything they’re investigating goes back 10 years.”
Even longer but they are desperate to get anyone to make creative testimony against President Trump.
The bigger the lie the happier the Mueller DemoRats will be.
All I’m saying is the prisons are full of people who think their prosecutor was a dirtbag.
True. I am sure Manafort is thinking the same thing now too.
Given the fact that this information is so old, doesn’t statute of limitations come into play?
Apparently, the allegations about him have been known about for years.

You would think but that’s not the rules when trying to squeeze a Trump associate.
Mueller is showing me a lot of things I don’t like about our so-called justice system.
FBI and DOJ (and other alphabet agencies) Leaks? Sources within the top agency officials are bi-directional.
This is a multi agency conspiracy against a candidate and later the POTUS. There is no excuse for not exposing these criminals and punishing them.
Only the potential of blackmail, murder and threats against POLs and their families. Sound far fetched? It is not.

In this case Mueller and his gang want to trick conservatives into defending Manafort, who is dirty.
Of course, what they don’t want the Public to realize is that all of Manafort’s dirt came from back when he was working with Fusion GPS for years.
None of Manafort’s dirt came from his 3 to 6 months on Trump’s campaign.
What conservatives should be asking is why other Fusion GPS lobbyists haven’t been indicted.
What conservatives should be asking is why haven’t the Podesta brothers been arrested, too.
I’m not a lawyer, but this whole search seems on its face to be a violation of rights. I would think a search warrant would be needed and a judge must be convinced that evidence of a crime exists in the storage locker. Mueller’s charge to investigate Russian collusion is a joke as his brown shirts are looking at even decades old stuff that could in no way be associated with the scope of his investigation. This is a witch hunt
Mob or Gestapo.
All good questions. The Podesta brothers have been knee deep in unusual Russian activities for a long time.
It bugs me no end that Manafort is in legal trouble stemming from his relationship with the Podestas(*) but they are walking around scot free and the press, when reporting about Manafort, insist on identifying him as the former Trump campaign manager rather than the former Podesta business partner.
(*) Targeted because of his Trump association but hooked because of his Podesta dirt.
Manafort is in jail? Gee. I wonder what crime he was convicted of?
/sarc
Very true.
The Russians were prophetic, weren’t they?
Show me the man, I’ll show you the crime.
Did they get into the storage locker without a warrant? If so, how in the hell do they justify that? Even your kids have an expectation of privacy, under the 4th Amendment, when it comes to what’s in their rooms, when they’re living in your house.
“Everything they’re investigating goes back 10 years.“
Don’t these “crimes” typically have statutes of limitation? I would think seven years.
Political prisoners in America? Manifort ain’t the first one. Just the current one.
Mueller’s doing what prosecutors do.
Prosecution 101.
A prosecutor was supposed to use their office to obtain justice, not convictions.
But with the extreme power given to prosecutors by the Supreme Court, and the multiple oppresive laws enacted by the federal legislature, Prosecutors know they can convict just about anyone, if they dig hard enough, long enough.
They play games about it... What if I wanted to get so and so, here is how I would do it.
It is the old Soviet system, Show me the man, and I will show you the crime.
Dems don’t play by the rules. statue of limitations varies with crimes. Why are hillary’s expiring but manafort can’t use them for crimes even older? California had a big SoL problem a few years back. They had to drop many rape(and murder) cases because it took too long to get DNA results. How does this vary so greatly with “financial crimes”?
