Why would "senior administration officials" give a fuck about Manafort if he didn't have damaging information?

So the Russian reaching out in 2015 is probably this guy:

People make fun of buzzfeed, but those journalists have broken some of the biggest Russiagate stories.

Collusion Confirmed?

Somewhere, Mike Pence is hiding in a corner, praying and hoping, biding his time.

Ahahahahaha is this the bombshell?


If Obama's former campaign manager, personal attorney, and former national security adviser all plead guilty to federal crimes, would you label it as a nothingburger?

They post shitty memes, quizzes, and "what does your favorite meal at Taco Bell say about what Hogwarts house you are in?" in order to generate enough traffic to fund their investigative journalism.

I don't keep up on this, remind me what they plead guilty to?

We're 2 years into this and Mueller is complaining that these guys aren't cooperating and wants them tossed in jail. To me, that's a pretty obvious signal that whatever he got from them amounts to very little and this is going nowhere fast.

U.S. prosecutors name Trump in hush payments, detail Russian contacts

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia/u-s-prosecutors-name-trump-in-hush-payments-detail-russian-contacts-idUSKBN1O60P2




So all the anti-Trump crap in the last 10 posts or so, is a large serving of nothing burgers. Color me... unsurprised.

Yeah...those are still multiple felony violations of campaign finance law in "coordination with and the direction of" Trump himself.

As far as Manafort, the whole "happened before Trump campaign, nothing to do with Trump, Ukraine not Russia" lines aren't holding up as well, either. Court filings today indicated he lied about contact with an associate with Russian intelligence ties and contacts with the Trump White Hose while he was under investigation.

All according to Reuters reporting and your linked article, not mine.

1. Trump directed Cohen to pay off both porn actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal, both of whom have alleged they had affairs with the President in the mid 2000s, during the 2016 campaign. Cohen had already pleaded guilty to purposely circumventing campaign finance law to make the payments -- and said he did so at the direction of and coordinated with Trump. Trump has denied that he knew where the money was coming from and that he had anything to do with the decision to pay off the women.

2. In November 2015, a Russian national spoke with Cohen and attempted to offer "political synergy" with the Trump campaign (Mueller's office said Cohen didn't pursue the outreach).

3. Cohen lied to Congress about the nature and extent of his involvement in trying to cut a deal on Trump Tower Moscow with the Russians to hide "the fact that the Moscow Project was a lucrative business opportunity that sought, and likely required, the assistance of the Russian government."

4. Manafort lied about the extent of his contacts with a Russian -- named Konstantin Kilimnik -- who has ties to the Russian military intelligence agency accused of hacking into the Democratic National Committee's servers, which led to the publishing of emails via the site WikiLeaks during the 2016 campaign.

5. Manafort continued to stay in touch with White House officials long past the point we knew prior. CNN's Katelyn Polantz and Marshall Cohen write: "The document also contains the stunning disclosure that Mueller can show, including with text messages, that Manafort was in contact with Trump administration officials early this year -- even after he was indicted in late 2017."


Definitely proving collaboration. President is might be experiencing fear at this point. Isn't like any of his men are going to go down for him.

Allright so i see it's confirmed that despite the pure russian context, the prosecutors are also filling tax fraud etc... Meaning that Individual-1 could be, soon or later, involved in some unwelcome collateral indictments.
I will stick on this wonderful titlle:

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/court-filings-present-trump-key-figure-multiple-federal-investigations-n945521

Court filings present Trump as key figure in multiple federal investigations

Yet Trump tweets: “Totally clears the President. Thank you!”


:thumbsup: :rofl:
