“You know what? I want friends like Manafort. Seriously, like, Manafort could easily flip on Trump, and go home charge/indictment free, but, he keeps taking these charges.”
Also, one tweet shows Manafort and a long line of dominoes leading to Trump.
This is basically where Dems are getting it wrong. If Manafort could get out of his tax evasion and obstruction charges by “flipping” on Trump, he would have done that long ago. He is not doing it and will not do it because he has nothing to flip.
This is all stuff he was into long before he was associated with Trump. They are just flat out not related, except when some Dem makes a timeline chart and puts “Trump nominated” next to “Manafort” to create a false relationship.
And this is what real obstruction is…trying to influence witnesses (assuming that is what he did)
Sure it is.
But so is that long line of dominoes leading to Trump.
At least my speculation is based on something, namely that Manafort has not shown himself to be the dedicated loyal individual that would sacrifice himself in order to save someone for whom he just worked for a few months.
There’s space between he has nothing to give,or he’s the most loyal goomba ever.
Could be holding out for a pardon.
Could be waiting for a sweeter deal.
Could be allergic to polonium.
Dude, just try google OK? Putin and his oligarchs have people killed. They are the Russian mob. It’s real. Manafort owes Russians money. It’s all very real stuff, no James Bond.
Oh, ■■■■■ Paulie. That’s a LOT of attempts to influence witness testimony. Yikes. Something tells me that Paulie is going to find himself in the Greystone Inn very soon.
I wonder if it was a mistake. More like maybe a “mistake.”
Trump, Giuliani, and the rest of the crew have free rein to say whatever the hell they want, but Mueller and team have adhered very closely to not commenting on active investigation.
This could be a “mistake” that puts calculated information out in the public sphere.
