Manafort indicted in New York on 16 state felony charges
Washington Examiner ^ | March 13, 2019 01:13 PM | Melissa Quinn

Posted on 03/13/2019 3:17:12 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was indicted by a grand jury in New York on 16 state felony charges, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance announced Wednesday.

The announcement of the charges, which includes multiple counts of residential mortgage fraud and other state felonies, came just after Manafort was sentenced to an additional 43 months in prison by a federal judge in the District of Columbia for charges stemming from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

The sentence from U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson is the second sentence Manafort has received in two weeks in two separate cases brought by Mueller. He faces more than seven years in prison for federal crimes, including bank and tax fraud and conspiracy to defraud the U.S.

Separate from the federal charges, Manafort was charged with a total of 16 counts in New York, including three counts of residential mortgage fraud, one count of attempting to commit residential mortgage fraud, three counts of conspiracy, eight counts of falsifying business records, and one count of scheme to defraud.

Vance said Manafort engaged in a “yearlong residential mortgage fraud scheme” through which he and others falsified business records in an effort to “illegally obtain millions of dollars.”

“No one is beyond the law in New York,” Vance said in a statement. The state crimes for which Manafort is accused “strike at the heart of New York’s sovereign interests, including the integrity of our residential mortgage market,” he said.

The state charges could end up reducing the value of a pardon from President Trump, who has praised Manafort as a “brave man" for whom he feels "very badly." Many suspect Manafort is angling for a pardon for the federal charges against him that led to a total sentence of 81 more months in...

Yeah, right. How could he say that with a straight face?

Crooked Cop and Special Counsel Robert Mueller Charged Paul Manafort, President Trump’s former Campaign Manager, for working
with Ukrainian’s Leader, [Putin stooge], Viktor Yanukovych in 2013. However, Mueller worked with Yanukovych in 2013 as well.

Via The Gateway Pundit

This is not the first interaction Mueller had with the Russians.

In 2009 Mueller hand delivered uranium to the Russians on an airport tarmac per the request of Hillary Clinton.

Mueller also was Head of the FBI when the Obama Administration sold 20% of US uranium to the Russians in the Uranium One deal.

Mueller also reportedly visited Moscow before he visited the Ukrainian President in 2013.

How can Mueller be investigating Manafort for business with the Ukraine and Russia when Mueller is as suspect as Manafort ever was?

The story of Mueller’s involvement with the Clinton’s and the now infamous sale of uranium to Russia goes back to 2006

This startling discovery came earlier this year showing that Hillary Clinton’s State Department began a process to turn over another portion of that uranium to the Russians in 2009


The Obama Administration’s Uranium One Scandal | Secretary of State Clinton with President Obama at a Cabinet meeting in 2012

A valid question is why did Obama and Clinton agree to provide this uranium, delivered by Mueller, to Russia in the first place?

And why the highly suspicious demand that the delivery take place on the Moscow airport tarmac?

The man who smuggled the uranium out of Russia in the 2006, Oleg Vladimirovich Khintsagov, was apprehended by authorities carrying 100 grams of highly enriched uranium tucked into a plastic bag in his tattered leather coat. A sample of the uranium captured during that sting operation was provided to the Russians who analyzed it and determined that it was indeed HEU.

The Russians did not ask for the uranium back, in fact the Russians worked hard to deny that the uranium came from Russia.

However, in 2009, the Obama Administration, led by Hillary Clinton, hand delivered HEU to Russia, even though Russia had already been given a sample.

There was no scientific reason to take the sample to them, so what other reason could there have been?

This delivery is especially pertinent since Mueller is leading this massive collusion investigation.

Why was this hidden from the public and Congress?

Why was the FBI informant on the case which involved the Clinton’s given a gag-order preventing him from speaking about it?

Hillary Clinton & Robert Mueller Linked in Russian Uranium Exchange

American Liberty PAC ^ | Jun 20, 2017 | Kirk

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton facilitated a uranium exchange with Russian law enforcement by former FBI Director (and current chief Deep State inquisitor) Robert Mueller.

The exchange was exposed via a recent Wikileaks publication of a secret cable between Hillary’s State Department and the Russian embassy.

Hillary sent Mueller to Moscow with orders to turn over a 10 gram sample of highly enriched uranium (HEU) which was obtained during a shadowy 2006 nuclear “sting” operation conducted in the Georgian Republic.

The ostensible reason for the transfer was to engender further trust between Russian and American law enforcement in the area of nuclear materials and to learn more about how to trace nuclear materials.

But when it comes to Hillary and Russian uranium interests, the shady Uranium One deal cannot pass unnoted.

There still has been no real investigation into how Hillary gave permission for a Russian company to acquire a quarter of the North American uranium reserves after Russian interests poured hundreds of millions into the Clinton Foundation and gave Bill Clinton six figure speaking fees.

At the very least, this exchange raises serious questions about the ability of Robert Mueller to do his job as special prosecutor on the Russian collusion charges since he already has connections to major figures in Russian law enforcement.

Special Counsel Mueller Literally Handed Uranium to the Russians!

IWB ^ | Mark Angelides

We all know that the Russian Collusion investigation is nothing but a game to try and distract the population from actually caring about the day to day running of the country, but the charade has gone too far and some serious questions need to be asked; most especially of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

WikiLeaks has put out a document that details then FBI Director Mueller’s itinerary on his visit to Russia to deliver 10 grams of Enriched Uranium.

One more time for those who missed it…Mueller hand delivered Highly Enriched Uranium to the Russian government!

Gohmert: Mueller “Covering” Involvement In Clinton-Uranium Deal While Trying To Have A “Coup” Against Trump

Posted By Ian Schwartz
June 9, 2018

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said Saturday special counsel Robert Mueller is trying to cover up his involvement with the Uranium One deal that benefited the Clintons while “trying to have a coup against the president.”

REP. LOUIE GOHMERT (R-TX): Robert Mueller has done more damage during his 12 years as FBI director than any other — probably all directors put together...

He has wasted money right and left.

Amazingly, he’s hired people like [Andrew] Weissmann that worked with him and [Rod] Rosenstein in investigating the Russian illegal efforts to obtain our uranium which they quashed information in order to allow the sale to go through so that Hillary could get the $145 million for her foundation.

So it is really outrageous. He’s covering for himself at the same time he’s trying to have a coup against the president.

"including three counts of residential mortgage fraud, one count of attempting to commit residential mortgage fraud, three counts of conspiracy, eight counts of falsifying business records, and one count of scheme to defraud. "

And all that from simply using his home equity line of credit to pay a credit card bill when his regular checking account was low.

(I don't really know that, but does fit the charges, if your a NY anti-trump nazi).

NY is PURPOSEFULLY VINDICTIVE, because POTUS can’t issue pardons for state crimes, only federal crimes.

This is selective prosecution to influence future elections.

Who is going to want to work on Trump’s 2020 campaign, if they’re know they’re going to get targeted by the corrupt Left, using the government?

I submit that we’re done with normal voting.

I like how they pull this on the very day Manafort is sentenced... with spite, for show.

That's how it's done in banana republics.

That’s why it’s important to go after these nazis for malicious prosecution.

Otherwise this’ll be the new normal for non-commie candidates.
