Agreed. All for the pile of human garbage that is Donaldus Minimus.

DONALD TRUMP of all people, it really is surreal

I’ve known about that guy for decades. He’s always been a garbage human. But he’s rightist’s hero. Unbelievable.v

Apparently Manafort has been up to far more than just money laundering.

Baaad Day Paulie.

Oh Paulie, you went from eating the finest foods with the generals of child soldiers.

You drank the finest wine with people utilizing weaponized rape.

Now you can’t even have shoelaces.

I wonder what ol’ Paulie Walnuts is doing right now?

His last realistic hope of beating the rap ended yesterday. Judge ruled that evidence seized from his storage unit was admissible. SO. Manafort’s chances of ever being from behind bars are pretty grim, but, he has some options.

1 - Hold out for a pardon from President Biff Tannen. This is hardly the “get out of jail free” card, he’s still spending insane amounts of money and is still in prison, and you have to count on the President, which I don’t think even his most ardent supporters would say that’s something you can do with a high level of comfort. Then even after a pardon, he still has to worry about state charges that he can’t be pardoned away from. And, that pardon doesn’t help Trump legally or politically because Manafort still has to testify truthfully as to what he knows, and it looks dirty as hell pardoning Manafort.

2 - Start seeing what kind of plea deal he can get. That’s his best bet at this point, since prosecutors will be able to present all the evidence they’ve seized. Witness protection, the whole deal.

Clocks tickin’ Paul.

well that a small loan

In an affidavit attached to the July 2017 application, an FBI agent said he had reviewed tax returns for a company controlled by Manafort and his wife that showed a $10 million loan from a Russian lender identified as Oleg Deripaska

Mueller has been investigating the financial links between Manafort and Deripaska, a metals magnate who is known to be close to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Deripaska was among the Russian oligarchs sanctioned by the United States in April.

The search warrant application also confirmed that Mueller has been investigating Manafort’s role in a June 9, 2016, meeting that he attended at the Trump Tower in New York between Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer and self-professed Kremlin informant who purportedly was carrying damaging information on Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee for president.

The FBI sought “communications, records, documents and other files involving any of the attendees of the June 9, 2016, meeting at Trump tower, as well as Aras and Amin Agalarov,” said the application, which misspelled the first name of Emin Agalarov.

Aras Agalarov is a Russian oligarch close to Putin who joined the elder Trump in staging the 2013 Miss Universe contest in Moscow. His son, Emin, is a popular singer.

I just posted this and a story just came out today regarding Emin Agalarov.

The FBI sought “communications, records, documents and other files involving any of the attendees of the June 9, 2016, meeting at Trump tower, as well as Aras and Amin Agalarov,” said the application, which misspelled the first name of Emin Agalarov.

The video — entitled “Got Me Good” featuring a new song by Emin Agalarov — caused a media stir this week because it appears to mock Trump, a onetime business partner of the singer and his billionaire oligarch father, real estate developer Aras Agalarov.

“I wish you at least could be honest,” Emin Agalarov sings to a Donald Trump look-alike in the video. “I wish you told me the truth.”

Meh. 10 million? Chump change. That’s walkin’ around money. Meaningless, really.

This is my favorite side story when it comes to Oleg’s problems.

no issue

It’s been pretty clear ever since the stand down order from the Trump campaign to the RNC on the statement in the platform about Ukraine that ■■■■ like this was eventually going to surface.

The ride is going to get bumpier.

As a side note, I was in Judge Ellis’ courtroom this afternoon (he’s presiding over a case that tangentially involves the organization I work for), and I can state from experience that he’s a grumpy old man who yells at everyone who appears in his courtroom.

He’s pretty funny, though.

Wonder what day Paulie Manafort is allowed to see outside visitors that are not his legal team?

1 hour per week for Paulie.

Shouldn’t have been a crook, Paulie.

Shouldn’t have conspired with Ruskies and against America, Paulie.

Seems to me that I heard Friday is his visitor’s day
