Paul Manafort reportedly in plea talks with Mueller team to avert second trial

I’m glad you caught up…

I imagine Donalds next comments about Mannafort won’t be as glowing.

Yep. Why go down any further if the ship’s already sinking

…he says while ignoring being wrong about what Mueller and Manafort are allowed to discuss

Yeah thats the rub. If Manafort is gonna get a guilty plea deal, he will only do so by rolling over as a prosecution witness against Trump.

Nope. The second trial, like the first one, has everything to do with the fact Paul Manafort is a despicable, lying, cheating, unscrupulous criminal fraud.

Thankfully the legitimate Special Counsel Robert Mueller lead probe into possible Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential Election was able to uncover these unassociated Paul Manafort crimes.

Thank God and Rob Rosenstein for giving legitimate Special Counsel Robert Mueller the charge of acting on any and all crimes uncovered in the Election probe, not just possible Russian interference.

If not for that Paul Manafort the criminal would likely never ever have been investigated and stood trial for his rampant criminality.

This second trial doesn’t need any Russian talk because the prosecutors have a plenty of evidence of criminal activity by the scum bag Manafort to bring before the jury.

:smile:

What was the crime again… Bank fraud?

“A Virginia jury concluded after four days of deliberation that Manafort was guilty of five counts of subscribing to false income tax returns, one count of failing to report his foreign accounts, and two counts of bank fraud.”

Without the Trump supporter, Manafort would have been convicted of 10 more counts.

You can read the 12 Count Indictment at the following link: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/10/30/the-paul-manafort-and-rick-gates-indictment-annotated/?utm_term=.1c84fc3c90d4

Tax evasion and bank fraud… so, despicable. He should have went for old no doc loans, like during the bush years… So much bank fraud not prosecuted back then, despicable…

You would think someone would have gone to jail for all those bad mortgage backed securities sold to foreign banks.

These guys are dispicable too

I’d guess Paulie rides out the next trial and puts all his eggs in the pardon basket.

I don’t know. He may realize Trump has far more pressing concerns right now.

He really only has two options, put his faith in ol Donnie pardon or roll on him

Even his daughter knows he is scum:

That’s some hardcote ■■■■■

And the State of NY would go after him then- no pardons there.

There were 12 counts against the scum Manafort. In this indictment. He is deserving of the term scum or lowlife or many other terms his previous CONVICTION warrants. He is despicable. Just because he wore a 3 piece suit, had manicured nails, and donned an ostrich jacket while committing his crimes makes him no less a sesoicable scumbag.

I am curious? Did you include those other comments and the Forbes article as a deflection away from Manaforts crimes?

They can still offer him a plea deal based on who knows what from him in return…
