WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. investigators examining money laundering accusations against President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort hope to push him to cooperate with their probe into possible collusion between Trump's campaign and Russia, two sources with direct knowledge of the investigation said.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team is examining Manafort's financial and real estate records in New York as well as his involvement in Ukrainian politics, the officials said.

The 2008 case in the Cayman Islands was for the $19 million you referenced. I’m not going to play further games on that. Post info on some other case if you have it.

BTW the letter/ad in the newspaper you referenced absolved Manafort.

Sessions will get right on it. He’s got to deal with Medicaid fraud, DARE, and asset forfeiture first.

Meanwhile the Clinton money laundering foundation is completely ignored

America does not matter. Democrats take care of democrats. That is what has gone on for years with the Clinton Foundation. All those who need to be bribed to look the other way have already been paid.

Obviously i’m not the only one who disagrees with some or all of your postings. I strongly disagree in this case. I see nothing ridiculous in the way that I framed the question. Why don’t you enlighten me? Explain how flipping Manafort is any problem for Trump, aside from “an appearance of impropriety,” unless Manafort’s testimony implicates the president in an impeachable offense.

Your posted that “ Deripaska sued manafort in 2015 saying manafort owed him 19 million dollars over a failed deal.”

In fact the lawsuit was filed in the Cayman Islands in 2008. “In August 2015, Deripaska’s attorneys, using a legal provision allowing U.S. discovery for legal proceedings in foreign courts, asked a federal district court in Virginia to order documents and depositions from Manafort, Gates and Davis.”

SHEESH!

The only reason to look at Manafort and not Devine is because Manafort was briefly associated with the Trump campaign.

Both Manafort and Devine consulted for Yanukovytch. If they want to investigate Russia Russia Russia then investigate Devine. Otherwise - as if it wasn’t already obvious - the investigation is an only attempt to smear Trump.

Mueller is a sleazy bastard. He has hired nothing but Democrats, including Clinton’s attorney. He has coached Comey. It’s a farce.

The whole thing is predicated on lies. DNI, DHS, and FBI didn’t conduct their own investigation - they relied upon a report produced by a Democrat backed company. The baseless dirty dossier was paid for Democrats (and, I suspect, Jeb Bush).

Because you are presupposing...that is why I wont answer the question. I did it indirectly. I offered you just one case .it involved a prime minister in Ukraine against semion..etc...

Just think about that. ...
People that manafort could flip on.

This investigation is not just about Trump. It is also about Manafort.

I am pretty sure that case was in caymans bankruptcy court. I cannot say with 100% certainty that the order granting discovery in 2015 is not from the bankruptcy court case from 2008.

So I will clarify and be more specific . A case was filed in 2015 in virginia. Discovery motion granted

An indirect answer is nonetheless an answer, wouldn't you agree? So I will state here for the record in this post, for you to dispute if you wish, that your belief is that Manafort potentially represents an existential threat to the presidency of Donald Trump, whether by revealing actual factual evidence against the president, or by fabricating such evidence as the case may be.

I believe Sessions, Roberts and many others have been notified to toe the line if they want their families to remain safe.

Actually, with Republicans the Democrats usually hold incriminating evidence of homosexual activity over their heads. That's their standard M.O..

I am not going to agree with your statement.

I am not privy to investigatory material.

If I was pursuing manafort I would use any and all pressure to get him to flip. ..including the daughter and son in law bizarre escapades. Manafort is a treasure trove of info.

Unfortunately. .given the type of people he has been involved with....he might not flip in order to keep him and his family safe. He associated with people far more ruthless than LCN

The Democrats are beyond insane.

Quite treasonous and ridiculous.

Not that we didn’t know that already.

You should see all the idiot lying liberals on Yahoo.

The MSM and the Obama administration hid all their REAL crimes.

Yet they yap about FAKE crimes.

Every. Single. Day.

No wonder these reprobate minds were all on board with Obama’s gay agendas.

“I am not privy to investigatory material.”

Yet that does not stop you from posting all manner of opinions on the topic. I am simply trying to uncover what your belief regarding the real crux of the matter is. I find it very odd that you do not want to share that. I have no problem staying that my believe is there’s no evidence of any wrongdoing on the part of Donald Trump, and this whole affair is simply meant to sully his reputation with all sorts of unfounded and unprovable accusations. There is no there are there, in other words.

I have shared it. You keep trying to turn it into something else which is why you frame that question in a ridiculous way
.

This investigation us not just about Trump. FLYNN OR MANAFORT COULD FLIP AND PROVIDE INFO THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH Donald TRUMP

I find it hard to believe you are such an idiot so thus I have to conclude you are trying to trap me into saying something I Dont believe.

I believe there is plenty to investigate from all kinds of avenues..where that leads I couldn’t possibly know

And, what crime is ‘collusion’???

EXACTLY !!!! Which makes the appointment of a special prosecutor illegal to begin with since the statute requires a CRIME in order for a prosecutor to be appointed in the first place.
