Have you ever noticed what Paul Manafort’s major crime was? After two years of investigation, after the predawn raid in which his wife was held at gunpoint, after months of solitary confinement that have left him a shell of his former self, have you noticed what drew the militant attention of the Obama Justice Department, the FBI, and, ultimately, a special counsel who made him the centerpiece of Russia-gate?
According to the indictment Robert Mueller filed against him, Manafort was an unregistered “agent of the Government of Ukraine.” He also functioned as an agent of Viktor Yanukovych, Ukraine’s president from 2010 to 2014, and of two political parties, the Party of Regions and its successor, the Opposition Bloc.
Manafort was not an unregistered agent of Russia. Mueller never alleged that Manafort was a clandestine operative of the Kremlin. He worked for Ukraine, not Putin. Indeed, for much of his time in Ukraine, he pushed his clients against Putin’s interests.

Well this changes everything. If the country don’t fit, you must acquit.
If anybody ever held my wife at gunpoint, I would make it my life’s mission to rid the world of every single family member of every single officer taking part in that raid.
Ukraine, Russia. Most Americans don’t know the difference.
In fact the devil is in the details. Ukraine was Clinton’s client. And anti-Russian vector in Ukraine Manafort was pushing for was on her agenda.

If they arrested her as well, I suppose you’d wipe-out their entire neighborhoods and burn them to the ground. I hope I never have the misfortune of looking at you the wrong way.
The Party of Regions was pro-Russia.
Suffice it to say I’ve had enough of intimidation. If LE wants to push the issue, they’d best put all their relations in witness protection first.
‘’ ‘’ The Party of Regions was pro-Russia.’’ ‘’
Is anyone reading beyond headline anymore? Manafort has lobbied them against Russia. It didn’t work and then they had putsch.
Viktor Yanukovych is in exile in Russia. Things are a bit more complex than “Ukraine, not Russia”.
Read the article, please.
....”Paul Manafort Was an Agent of Ukraine, Not Russia”.....
Exactly.
Not by much....besides Manafort has worked in political circles, and usually behind the scenes, for other countries for decades. He’s well known in political circles here and abroad.
I am having difficulty finding any conduct that would even interest the U.S. justice system, let alone put them in such a hostile frame of mind towards somebody who was dabbling in the political and economic maze of the former Soviet Union.
Does Trump have to wait until the end of his term to pardon the guy?
If CNN doesn’t tell them Ukraine isn’t Russia, liberals won’t know.
Manafort is a political prisoner. Why was Podesta not convicted for the same thing. Hiws crime was going against the Deep state. Trump should pardon him immediately and order the prosecution of hillary, the criminal bitch from hell. Where is William BARR?? Is he hiding like Sessions? Where is he?
‘’ ‘’ Manafort is a political prisoner. Why was Podesta not convicted for the same thing. Hiws crime was going against the Deep state.’’’’
Exactly. He was expected to lie to help them indict Trump. He chosen not to.
Manafort was working for the PRO-Russian faction that was overthrown by the people of Ukraine. Amazing how many Putin and Russian lovers are on this forum anymore.
