Manafort, Gates plead not guilty in grand jury indictment

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his associate Rick Gates pleaded not guilty on Monday after being indicted on 12 counts by a federal grand jury as part of the special counsel investigation into Russian meddling and potential collusion with Trump campaign officials in the 2016 presidential election.

Manafort and Gates pleaded not guilty to all charges. A judge set bond at $10 million for Manafort, and $5 million for Gates. Both sides agreed to home detention.

The special counsel’s office told Fox News that the counts include conspiracy against the United States, conspiracy to launder money, unregistered agent of a foreign principal, false and misleading Foreign Agent Registration (FARA) statements, false statements and seven counts of failure to file reports of foreign banks and financial accounts.

"President Donald Trump was correct. There is no evidence the Trump Campaign colluded with the Russia government," Kevin Downing, an attorney for Manafort, responded, referencing earlier tweets and statements from the president. "A claim that maintaining offshore accounts to bring all your funds into the United States, as a scheme to conceal from the United States government, is ridiculous."

Downing said outside court earlier Monday that Manafort was "seeking to further democracy and to help the Ukraine come closer to the United States and the E.U."

Can it be timed to coincide with their scheduled scream of anguish?

President Trump should not back down in the face of this and should do whatever he has to do in order to deal with any threat from Robert Mueller.

I dunno, the problem is all of Trump’s enemies on twitter are a quite stupid, insane or both.

They cant accept defeat but if we are patient its a sure bet a good deal of liberal heads are going to go BOOM at random times so keep a supply of popcorn on hand!
