Paul Manafort, the onetime chairman of President Donald Trump's campaign, has been indicted along with his former colleague, Rick Gates. The indictments mark the beginning of a new phase in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian attempts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. The timing of the indictment suggests that Mueller is pursuing a legal strategy typically reserved for cases involving drug cartels and mafia families.

Tax fraud, I was right. I was saying the other day they were going to get Manafort because line 7b of his tax return was illegible.
Fakenews headline.
2012 activity was not part of the Russian election probe.
Communist NBC knows better. Then again, NBC was busted when they faked news and put explosive devices on a truck’s gas tank to show the hazards of vehicular impact in accidents.
Manafort goes way back and could very well blow-up in the faces of the DIMS.
So Manafort laundering money in 2012 = Russians helping Trump win in 2016 ?
Seriously? That’s what they indicted him for, a fubar on his 2012 tax return?
The FBI SO needs to be defunded.
Mueller’s assignment is to investigate Russian meddling in the 2016 election. He indicts Manafort for money laundering that occurred in 2012.
Someone has to help me with this.
This indictment has nothing to do with Muellers mission.... Trumps
campaign collusion with Russa.
It is and has been a witch hunt.
Mueller was given no scope, no time period and unlimited funding.
Seriously.
“drug cartels and mafia families” and certain “foundations” that might be indictable under RICO statutes. You know, ones that may have received, oh, say, approx $145,000,000 or so in donations in exchange for aiding in selling out 20% of U.S uranium ore. Those kinds of enterprises?
“So Manafort laundering money in 2012 = Russians helping Trump win in 2016 ?”
Paul probably has a real soft spot in his heart for Jeff.
DJT “Paul Manafort is pardoned. Next?”
Simply an oversite just like The Clinton Foundation taxes.
I think RR will be shown the door today. CINC is meeting w/Sessions.
It will be interesting to see the Mueller tab for this...
Manafort is a sleezebag fired by Trump. Based on a quick review of earlier articles about his Ukraine/Cypress banking activities, the indictment by Mueller was a layup.
Boris Karloff, I mean Mueller, is just charging Manafort with something, anything, just so he can turn the screws on Manafort and get him to talk about Trump, but it’s a lost cause because Trump didn’t do anything.
It’s completely insane. The guy who had absolutely nothing to do with the Russians gets his ass investigated off, while the bitch Hillary who invented the “Trump/Russia collusion” hoax and actually DID collude with the Russians is waltzing around scot free, not so much as a parking ticket. Justice in this country is like something out of a banana republic.
Yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!
