Manafort guilty.

[Skylar]

Two counts on the foreign bank accounts. One of the bank fraud counts. Mistrial on the rest of the counts. This is 8 more convictions produced by the Mueller investigation, on top of the already existing guilty pleas. But, you know, it's all a witch hunt.

which of these either found guilty of or not had anything to do with russia? the witch hunt as far as i know is in connection with RUSSIA hysteria, not crimes done pre-election.

None of the counts had anything to do with the original intent of the investigation. The left has won nothing, except that a tax fraud is now behind bars.

The original intent of the investigation included the investigation and prosecution of crimes that arose from the investigation.

The Special Counsel is authorized to conduct the investigation confinned by then-FBI Director James 8. Corney in testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on March 20, 2017, including:

(i) any links and/or coordination bet ween the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump; and

(ii) any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation; and

(iii) any other matters within the scope of 28 C.F.R. § 600.4(a).

That would fall firmly under 'any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation'. With Mueller empowered to prosecute ANY crimes he deems necessary or appropriate:

(c) If the Special Counsel believes it is necessary and appropriate, the Special Counsel is authorized to prosecute federal crimes arising from the investigation of these matters.

https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/967231/download

With Mueller taking the extra precaution of getting permission from the Deputy AG on this investigation and prosecution.

A man who was as guilty as fuck was just brought to justice. Why would 'law and order' republicans not be rejoicing? Look at the evidence. The man actually did the shit he's accused of.

 

[Stormy Daniels]

Manafort is in good shape

He's a convicted felon, you moron.

 

[Skylar]

You are fast.

She's easy as well. Look at all these imbeciles celebrating this as if they've won anything. Some guy they never heard of before has been convicted of tax evasion that was supposed to look into whether Russia messed with the 2016 election (still not even ONE person found who claims their vote was changed), still no proof that Russia really actually did it, still no evidence whether anyone in the Trump campaign was really collaborating in it in any illegal way, and certainly nothing on the man Trump himself.

So in other words:

ZERO.
ZERO, and
ZERO.

Trump is still president, Trump is going to STAY president, there is no evidence of foreign tampering much less Trump Campaign collaboration, not a single vote has ever been shown changed, Mueller's investigation a total fail on what it was set up to look into, and if there really was any election hanky-panky by a foreign power, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING accomplished that will fix anything to stop it from happening again this fall much less in 2020 and beyond.

And all the Leftards stand around circle-jerking themselves off telling themselves they scored big today.

I guess when your EVERY FORECAST for success and victory has gone face-down into the dirt since 2008, a petty crook getting his just rewards for petty personal crimes must really seem like you got something. Actually, they could HANG Manafort for tax crimes, it won't do JACK to put one Democrat into office.

Um.....Manafort has been in the news for *years*. Just because you've never heard his name before doesn't mean everyone else is similarly ignorant.

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

So, in America...at least at the present time, the left can do ANYTHING and get away with it....because there's a LONG list of crimes committed by lefties....

Yet, we have a "Justice system" that is blind to Leftist crimes regardless of the severity.....

But prosecutes Right Wingers coming and going on any charge they can whip up.

Anyone who thinks the American Justice system is working good is a biased, ignorant fool.

I'm NOT defending Manafort OR Trump, just pointing out something dangerous and painfully obvious.

ALL criminals should be prosecuted....NOT just on the Right.

 

[Skylar]

I can’t believe the jurors didn’t take Manfort’s dazzling defense into consideration.

His defense was a masterwork of brevity, that's for sure.

We had a special counsel for that?

Alas, in America.....people are charged with crimes. Not 'the Left'.

Manafort was a man who committed serious crimes. He was found guilty for many of those crimes in accordance with our laws and constitution. And he still faces at least one more trial, most likely two.

 

[JGalt]

None of the counts had anything to do with the original intent of the investigation.

The original intent was to investigate suspicious behaviors. And it keeps finding criminal conduct behind those suspicious behaviors.

So how much "criminal content" and "suspicious behavior" has Mueller found against Trump? It's been over two years now.

This thread has to do with Paul Manafort being convicted on 8 felony counts.

Now that Mueller has 8 felony convictions to use as leverage.......Lets see if Manafort will be a little more forthcoming.

 

[Avatar4321]

Five counts of tax fraud. More coming in.

Good...no one should be able to scam their tax returns.

Agreed. Let’s just wait to see what happens when the left realizes this doesn’t do anything for their case against trump

Maybe he's found none at this time. Does that somehow mean all the other crimes should not be investigated or prosecuted?

There is certainly room for a deal on sentencing recommendations by the prosecution. In both location of sentence and length of it.

On these charges alone, Manafort faces 80 years in prison. That's a lot of room to make recommendations for the prosecution

Isn't it weird the way cultists seem to think that 90% of the population is involved in this deep left wing conspiracy, but that hard stance right wing policies represent the will of the people?

and....how much of it has to do with Rump?

This proves that Trump had criminals running his campaign.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Hopefully this is another step toward making Trump accountable for his actions.

Buuuuuut.......

Hillary compromised National security, used a PRIVATE server for Confidential National issues, had the drives destroyed and smashed to pieces, lied about it, had the FBI cover it up .......

And not even a smidgen of charges.........

If you don't see this as a major problem with the Justice system, you're ALL fools.

Mudd, along with the rest of them think when Comey said she was guilty, that it meant she is innocent.
