You mean the volumes of direct evidence he has compiled, and meticulously sourced, over the course of the last year or so? Pro tip: It's advisable to read the source material before opining. It makes you look less stupid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Another Narrative Busted: The Focus of Manafort´s Upcoming Trial Will Make Liberals Very Sad Townhall, by Katie Pavlich Original Article The first federal trial for former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort is set to start tomorrow in Washington D.C. Leftists are salivating over what the trial could reveal about the 2016 presidential election, alleged Russian collusion and Manafort´s relationship with President Donald Trump. But according to a new report from the Associated Press, they´re likely to be disappointed as the trial will focus on Manafort´s business dealings and lavish lifestyle, not collusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Quote Trump attracts pillagers, braggarts, hacks. They’re in his past, his present, his family, his cabinet. They confuse wealth with merit, glitter with character, and they’re all about fast lanes and short cuts, which is to say that they’re reflections of him. Manafort is the mirror extraordinaire. He made his fortune by holding his nose. His Washington lobbying and consulting firm represented what Betsy Woodruff and Tim Mak of The Daily Beast described as “a rogue’s gallery of clients far away from D.C.’s genteel corridors of power: dictators, guerrilla groups and despots with no regard for human rights — including one man responsible for mass amputations and another who oversaw state-sanctioned rape.” Mueller filed court papers on Monday alleging that Manafort made more than $60 million consulting for pro-Russia politicians and political parties in Ukraine. To avoid taxes, he funneled the money illegally through offshore accounts, according to the criminal charges against him. That helped pay for a lavish wardrobe of custom suits, a dazzling collection of multimillion-dollar properties, such home improvements as a waterfall and a putting green, three Range Rovers (which are British-made, last I checked) and a Mercedes-Benz (German). So much for America First. He always put himself and his prodigious appetites first. That was the secret of his prosperity until it was the recipe for his doom. Trump has much the same disposition. Time will tell if he meets the same fate. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/31/opinion/paul-manafort-trial-donald-trump.html?action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=opinion-c-col-left-region&region=opinion-c-col-left-region&WT.nav=opinion-c-col-left-region Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyBatty is alive Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Just now, keepthefaith said: That's a lousy effort by the writer to tie Trump to crimes Manafort may have committed years before Manafort worked for Trump. Correct. The trial is a farce, it has noting to do with Trump, zero zilch nada nothing to do with Russia, nothing at all...it is about Manafort business deals in 2005 and 2014. Well actually it has everything to do with Trump,. Many people WANT you to think the actual trial is about Trump, look at the fools outside the courthouse chanting "Russia, Russia, Russia". It is also about Trump because this was an attempt to intimidate Manafort and have him flip on Trump, guess he wouldn't. So in reality this already a loss for Mueller. The real goal of all of this was to flip Manafort and get Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not seen them, myself, but rest assured those fools are actually paid for by the left to make noise. The challenge the left seems to repeatedly have is that they can never get anyone to organically join their whine fest. They have to hire people to whine for them. Hopefully these people won't assault others, burn cars, or destroy local businesses to get their point across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm not saying I know the answer here, I'm merely running through possibilities. In 2010 RR exonerates Manafort for these charges (money laundering). In 2018, without getting new evidence (according to the filings to date), RR is now going after the same guy he cleared previously. Issues of Double Jeopardy aside (koko might be able to add insight there), what's changed between 2010 and 2018? ... Perhaps the resident of the Oval Office? Perhaps RR wasn't "free" to indict Manafort in 2010, but now he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB3 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Comfortably Smug @ComfortablySmug What will it take for people to realize the only crime Manafort is guily of is being about that life?
