Hmm...Trump hired a known criminal. I wonder why? His influence in a particular region of the world maybe?

Trump hired the man with the reputation for being able to organize the convention so the never-Trumpers couldn't steal delegates.

That's the reason.

After that, he no longer needed him.

Manafort approached Trump and offered to work FOR FREE. You don't think that Trump questioned why? Why would Manafort offer to work for FREE? And we already know he promised a guy he owed money to, secret private information about Trump.

 

[JakeStarkey]

OK, we know about Manafort.

Here is the scum on Gates, who is heavily tied to the WH and money.

Gates is a colleague of Manafort's who joined the Trump team in spring 2016, according to Politico. In an old news release, Gates' bio braggedthat he had "over 15 years of international political, finance and business development experience working for multinational firms" and had "worked on several U.S. presidential campaigns" as well as "many international political campaigns in Europe and Africa." As part of the Trump campaign, he traveled with the real estate tycoon and helped manage day-to-day operations.

He then jumped from job to job in Trump's orbit.

When Trump fired Manafort last August, Gates shifted to become the campaign's liasion with the Republican National Committee. After Trump's victory, Gates helped the president-elect get set up for inauguration. This past January, Gates headed to America First Policies, a nonprofit started by Trump advisers to support the White House's agenda. He stepped down from that job in March after the Associated Press reported Manafort had collaborated with Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska to improve Russian President Vladimir Putin's status in the U.S. and Europe—even though Gates said he wasn't aware of what Manafort was doing for Deripaska.

Fast forward to this summer, when The Daily Beast reported Gates was frequently stopping by the White House as part of a new gig working for Trump fundraiser Tom Barrack. Meet Rick Gates, the Manafort pal and Trump adviser facing charges in Mueller indictment

 

[Londan Werewolf]

yet the charges are for tax evasion.

You forget conspiracy against the United States and money laundering.

still with the podesta brothers. You forget there is actual evidence.

In your dreams there is evidence just like with Hilllary. Lmao

These indictments are for actions long before the trumpster silly girl. However, manafort and co. WERE working with the podesta group it seems. Now....who do they work for again? Hmmmm, who is that?

Yeah NOW. Mueller will get closer to T. Expect obstruction of justice charges against him.

what obstruction? LOL

 

[westwall]

What a laughable assertion. Trump would only be on the hook if he DIRECTED manafort to do illegal activity. Get a fucking clue, dude.

And all it would take is Manafort saying "yes, Trump directed me to do what I did".

You think Manafort is going to jail for Donald fucking Trump? Think again. Manafort's not going to jail for an orange cheeto.

Yeah, sure, except there is no evidence of that for if there were the trumpster would already be indicted. So good luck with that. It's hard to tell someone to do illegal shit a decade before you ever hired them to do work for you.

[The Derp]

Yes, but he was working for podesta when he was doing all of his criminal shit.

You sure about that? Sounds like you're just repeating shit you heard from Conservatives who are scrambling to minimize the significance. You said while working for Podesta, he was doing illegal shit. Yet, no evidence suggests that. It's just an attempt by you to conflate the subject.

YIf he was directed to do that illegal shit by podesta then your hero podesta is the next one to go down.

Who said Podesta was my hero? I didn't vote for him. But you voted for Trump.

 

[Dim Bulb]

If Manafort is as dirty as the indictment says, he would have already rolled on Trump and everyone else he could rat out.

You clearly don’t understand the stakes that the Russians play for. Prison will be easy compared to what they could do to Manafort and his family. He’ll happily swallow time to avoid worse. Way worse.

except, he worked for the Podesta Brothers. You know this right? why are you avoiding that if you are a conservative?

Look at my post. It bothers me that people like you don’t care that the Russians are playing the long game with both Trump and Clinton’s people. It is clear as day that they are. But you think it’s okay. They should all go to jail, imho. They are all traitors. But you only think one “side” is guilty. Why I have no earthly idea. IF the facts were a snake they’d bite you.

History will not be kind to this administration even if the indictments stop now which they won’t.
This administration will break Reagan’s administration as most corrupt ever with most indictments and convictions.

Trump Campaign Foreign Policy Adviser Pleads Guilty In Russia Probe
George Papadopolous admitted lying to the FBI.


WASHINGTON ― A foreign policy adviser to President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has pleaded guilty to a charge of lying to FBI agents.

George Papadopoulos, 30, pleaded guilty on Oct. 5, 2017, but the case wasn’t unsealed until Monday, when two other Trump associates were indicted by a federal grand jury. Papadopoulos reached a plea deal with prosecutors, indicating he’s cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Prosecutors’ statement of the offense indicates that Papadopoulos “made material false statements and material omissions” during a Jan. 27, 2017, interview with the FBI.

He told the FBI an overseas professor had “told him about the Russians possessing ‘dirt’ on then-candidate Hillary Clinton in the form of ‘thousands of emails,’ but stated multiple times that he learned that information prior to joining the campaign,” according to court documents. In fact, Papadopoulos was contacted after he learned he’d be joining the campaign, and the professor only mentioned the “thousands of emails” after he’d been on the Trump campaign for more than a month.

The professor, the statement indicates, had “substantial connections to Russian government officials” even though Papadopoulos claimed the professor was “a nothing.”

You assume he has something on Trump, he wasn't even working for Trump's campaign but a couple of months before being fired. Go live in your fantasy world.

Doesn't matter how long he worked for Trump. Even if he worked for Trump for 1 day, if he conspired against the United States in that period, he's still guilty. And Trump is complicit because he hired him. Unless you're going to now say Trump had no power when it came to choosing his campaign chair...which would be a very silly argument to make.

What a laughable assertion. Trump would only be on the hook if he DIRECTED manafort to do illegal activity. Get a fucking clue, dude.

That’s just wrong.

You think Trump is a hands off manager? Why did his ex adviser lie to the FBI and just plead guilty?
Every member of his administration that met with Russians LIED about it after getting caught.
Why did they lie?
For a moderator you’re not too bright, bro.

 

[Votto]

Manafort received 75 million in shady funds and laundered 18 million through property purchases for foreign govts.

Who do you know that sells properties? Wasnt Trump Jr the one who said they get a ton of money through Russia?

Ok, I jumped ahead but what in the world was the reason Trump had to pick Manafort to run his campaign? Selling and buying properties? Laundering money?

Dumbass. He should have done like Hilary and started a Foundation charity to launder the money.

What a dolt.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Sure. It would then be a clear cut case of obstruction of justice.

If Trump let's him get charged and convicted then pardons him how is that obstruction of justice?

The only reason Mueller is going after Manafort for tax crimes is because he is trying to get him to flip because Mueller can't find anything. It isn't obstruction of justice if Trump takes that leverage away.

...because he would be stopping him from testifying in court where he could give information that could lead to others being indicted.

How would that stop Manafort from testifying? He would still be free to do so.

If he is free from prosecution he can hold back information.

I hope Trump does pardon all these guys, because unlike people like you, most know Trump would be fucked and get impeached.

If Mueller had anything at all he wouldn't need Manafort. He could do it without him.

Mueller could also be leading Manafort to making things up.

Now there's the spin I'm talking about.

What are you talking about? It's clear , Manafort's crimes were committed in 2012/13 the same time frame he consulted with the Podesta Group.

 

[The Derp]

Yeah, sure, except there is no evidence of that for if there were the trumpster would already be indicted. So good luck with that. It's hard to tell someone to do illegal shit a decade before you ever hired them to do work for you.

Ummm, not necessarily. Mueller could be strengthening his case by indicting Trump underlings first, to see if they have anything worth rolling on Trump. Trump's already admitted to obstruction of justice when he ordered the firing of Comey. These first indictments are to see who will roll on Trump first. Someone's going to. Manafort isn't an honorable guy so there's no reason to think he won't just spill the beans.

"Only after being publicly tainted."

Are you suggesting that you wouldn't support a candidate who was 'publicly tainted"????


Kinda like this?



Just a few (25) of the scandals, lies, and criminal activity of Hillary Clinton.




1. Travelgate: After their election, the Clintons fired the White House Travel Office...which had served 7 administrations, and turned it over to their pals. As part of this, they brought bogus corruption charges against the civil servants therein.

The individuals were cleared on all counts.

The Independent Council found that Hillary lied when she claimed she wasn't behind the scam. “The overwhelming evidence establishes that she played a role in the decision to fire the employees. … Thus, her statement to the contrary under oath was factually false.”


a. " Hillary described Travelgate with cool indifference as, “perhaps worthy of a two-or-three-week life span, instead, in a partisan political climate, it became the first manifestation of an obsession for investigation that persisted into the millennium.” But for Billy Dale, it wasn’t a partisan manifestation. It was the termination of a thirty-plus-year career, and a fight for his freedom. If convicted, he faced a maximum of twenty years in prison and up to $500,000 in fines.”

b. For you or I that would mean a perjury charge and criminal record for trying to destroy an innocent American who had served honorably under eight administrations and lying about it. For Hillary it meant a future as the junior New York Senator and then President Barack Obama’s Secretary of State." Ibid.

2. @ 0:58 Hillary's pal Vince Foster was involved in several of the Clinton scandals. When he was found dead: was that why Hillary had Foster's files ransacked before investigators could view them?

WASHINGTON, July 26— A Secret Service officer today flatly contradicted the White House account of the night of Vincent W. Foster Jr.'s death, telling the Senate Whitewater panel that he had seen Hillary Rodham Clinton's top aide remove files from Mr. Foster's office. The aide vehemently denied doing it.

Testifying under oath before the special Senate committee investigating Whitewater, the officer, Henry P. O'Neill, said that on July 20, 1993, several hours after Mr. Foster's body was found in a Virginia park, he saw Mrs. Clinton's chief of staff, Margaret A. Williams, carrying two handfuls of folders from Mr. Foster's office." 2 Conflicting Accounts on Files From White House Aide's Office

3. @ 1:47 To see how a President Hillary would 'rule,' take a look at her methods when Bill put her in charge of the earlier attempt at a take-over of healthcare: " WASHINGTON, Dec. 1— A Federal district judge said today that he intended to impose sanctions on Clinton Administration officials for their "misconduct" in a court case involving the disclosure of documents from Hillary Rodham Clinton's task force on health care..... "The court understands plaintiffs' frustration with the defendants' misconduct during the course of this litigation, and the court intends to impose sanctions."

The odds that Hillary did that honestly have been computed at 1 in 31 trillion. That was small potatoes compared to the deals Bill and Hillary appear to have cut with foreign governments.

6. @5:38 Raw naked power: Filegate. The Clintons illegally obtained FBI files on potential political enemies. "... in 1996 when it was discovered that the Clinton White House illegally obtained FBI files on adversaries, and used them to smear them, continues to this day. Strangely, although Mrs. Clinton is the principal defendant, and although there is sworn testimony, obtained during earlier discovery that Mrs. Clinton was the mastermind of this illegal scheme, the Court has never granted Plaintiffs requests to depose her —.... civil lawsuit which seeks to hold her accountable for illegally violating the privacy rights of American citizens she and her husband Bill Clinton viewed as political adversaries during their administration in the 1990s." Hillary Clinton tries to escape from on-going Filegate case

a. "It was also during this Filegate case that it was learned that President Clinton, on the advice of his top political adviser, James Carville, had illegally released Privacy Act protected information from White House files to smear Kathleen Willey, a woman who was a material witness in the impeachment proceedings, as she was also sexually harassed by the “philanderer in chief” while working for him in the White House."

"In April 2012, representatives from Qatar were apparently hoping to get “five minutes” with former President Bill Clinton while in New York to present him with a $1 million check for his foundation as a birthday gift from the previous year.


While it is unclear whether that meeting ever took place, the offer,mentioned in one of thousands of hacked Clinton campaign emailsreleased by WikiLeaks last week, was an example of the complex ethical issues the Clinton Foundation faced in managing relationships with foreign governments when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state. It also raised questions about whether the foundation had fully followed procedures it had voluntarily agreed to in order to avoid those very issues."
