Judge: Manafort agreed to cooperate 'fully and truthfully' with Mueller
The Hill ^ | 09/14/18 | Morgan Chalfant

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has agreed to cooperate “fully and truthfully” with special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, Judge Amy Berman Jackson said in federal court on Friday.

Jackson said this would include submitting to interviews with the special counsel and providing documents related to the probe.

Manafort pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy against the United States and one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice by witness tampering on Friday. He agreed to forfeit several properties and bank accounts, including his property at Trump Tower in New York, as part of his deal.

Manafort's decision to cooperate with Mueller's probe could be significant. He had previously not reached a deal to cooperate, and was found guilty of eight charges in a trial last month brought under Mueller's investigation.

Trump's first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and Richard Gates, a former associate of Manafort's who testified against him, are also cooperating with Mueller's probe.

No president in US history has had to endure more investigation and interrogation than President Donald Trump.

They have go after just about everyone that has ever had association with President Trump. They’ve thrown attorney/client privilege out the window. It is the most ruthless coup in our nation’s history.

The swamp creatures have no regard for the citizens that elected President Trump. Therefore, I have no regard for them.

If they’re somehow successful with this coup, I hope everyone that wasn’t fair to this president (that means held to a higher standard than obama or hillary), the worst. I just want him treated fairly — nothing more and nothing less. So far, that hasn’t been the case.

You can call it BS. People not in denial call it felony convictions. What’s the count now? Witches are screaming for mercy. I posit to that to be a true conservative you must put truth ahead of blind loyalty to a foolish man.

Can you please pass whatever it is that you are smoking? He was not close to Trump for 20 years. He was referred to Trump by someone else in Feb 2016.

“Wikileaks/Putin(GRU)/Trump conspiracy”

Well, that’s gonna be a tough one to prove. Starting with Wikileaks where JA already said the DNC emails (proving D Primaries were rigged for Hillary) were not obtained from a government entity. Secondly the transfer rate from the DNC mail server indicates a Local Machine connection, such as a thumb drive, rather than an external hack. IOW an inside job aka Seth Rich.

Now, what’s the Putin (GRU)/Trump part about? Is it anythiung like the GRU providing false claim of Trump peeing on a bed to Michael Steel, a Fusion GPS/Clinton Foundation paid former Mi5 employee in order for Steel to provide it to the FBI who used it as the basis for FISA warrants to spy on Trump and campaign associates? That Putin/GRU foreign interference?

Trump had more than enough real information to clean house at the DOJ and FBI, yet he refuses to fire anyone. As a result, the Mueller witch hunt grows and grows.

If you want something to shrink, let it grow.

Coerced testimony with the threat of longer prison time.

Sorry, Paul, you can’t do both. Fully cooperating with Mueller’s witch hunt precludes being truthful. He doesn’t want the truth; he wants something to destroy the president, and if you have to make it up, then that’s what he wants.

Ooops, you made a mistake.
No real conservative uses Bloomberg as a source.

“Be funny if the judge gives him a sentence of time served and community serve as a slap at Mueller.”

Not this POS judge. She was the one who ordered Manafort held without bail in solitary. A pardon and the sooner the better, Trump has to start firing back. If someone or something is trying to take you out, you defend yourself anyway you can.

Interesting background info. If there’s anything to it, guess it will be President Pence. And the numerous Trump accomplishments will be a happy legacy.
