Manafort Trial Is About Fashion, Nothing to Do With Russia

[GWV5903]

No a person owning a yacht that costs more money then you claimed you earned on your tax returns makes you a criminal anywhere.

Really? What f'ing world do you live in? So tell me, is your home more or less than you make a year?

It means that you were lying about your income.

Again, more stupid drivel...

Does the government only has tax returns from 1 year?
Did you realize I used plural? If you buy a yacht that costs more then what you claimed you made on all your tax returns does that not suggest you lied?

Your in over your head, give up before you drown...

Wow a deflection.... How unexpected.

It's more like throwing you a life line, but whatever...

If Mueller's case is that Manafort's spending exceeds his income then bring on the income records not photos of clothes. That's constructing a case by innuendo and we don't do that.

Ever been in a jury trial? Or watched any lawyer show for that matter? A trial, especially one with a jury, requires not just facts, but a skillfull delivery of those facts. A certain amount of show and playing to peoples feelings does happen. They've brought in the spending records on top of showing the photo's, not to mention people he bought items from.

The key to the spending is not that he was some rich guy buying shit but HOW he was buying
He would go on a spending spree and pay for it with a wire transfer from a foreign bank

Nothing to do with Russia or Trump. But don’t tell the media. Be fun to see if they ever figure it out.

This is just the start

We have not gotten to Flynn yet

Such a strange OP argument.
The trial is about tax evasion etc.

Guess you haven’t been following what the prosecution was trying to do.

Jake doesnt follow anything. He makes shit up in his noggin and then pretends it is reality.

So far, it really seems like the prosecution has no case against Manafort and is trying to convict him for being wealthy.

 

[JakeStarkey]

JimBowie1958, as usual, does not understand what is going on.

The prosecution is using the standard "excess" approach to this type of case.

Manafort is stuck and can't get free.

Wait til they get to Flynn.

Having excess isn’t a crime.

 

[JakeStarkey]

"Having excess isn’t a crime." unless one has been hiding earnings and not reporting them.

Oh, so is Flynn the big IT? Please, tell me and I promise not to laugh.

Trump seems to think so

 

[JakeStarkey]

Trump has indicated he is very worried about Flynn.
