That sounds really convincing unless folks go back and read your post # 1494, where you said it came from reuters. So, Reuters must have had the article.
Here's the original article time/date before your post number 1494.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia-manafort/manafort-attempted-to-tamper-with-potential-witnesses-u-s-special-counsel-idUSKCN1J1043My entire point was and still is, you presented that info in a way that sounds harsher than it is.
Now here is that article updated 3 hours ago...
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trade-china-zte-exclusive/exclusive-zte-signed-u-s-agreement-in-principle-to-put-chinese-firm-back-in-business-sources-idUSKCN1J12RPYou almost sounded like CNN bro. The way you worded things, I was ready to convict him.
In the original article, we had the FBI agents name, and it sounded much worse than it appears to be, now.
This updated 2nd article was ofc, not yet posted on Reuters. But we ALL should know by now, that Mueller is gonna make things sound horrible... he's done it repeatedly so far, and Manafort is still not in jail.
My point was and is, no need to help Mueller BS the world.
Post #1522 - The wording between IceMage's post and your followup quote contain nearly the exact same words, in the same order. The only differences do not change the context in the slightest.
