Well, that and large scale fraud.
Process crimes.
He just happened to forget those bank accounts drawn on companies he set up in Cyprus and the wire transfers directly from them to pay for his suits and landscaping needs when it came to tax time.
Happens to everybody.
Selective prosecution.
And the lying on the multiple loan applications and asking other people to lie to bump up a mortgage from a million to over 3.5 million?
We all do it. I mean, who hasn’t tipped 15% when they really could have nudged it up to 20?? KnowwhutImean?
And all of these supposed crimes happened more than a decade ago, and Rosenstein himself declined to prosecute, even going so far as to write him a very nice “letter of exoneration”.
Witch hunt!!!
So how’s it going?
I thought about going to the courthouse today and sitting in, but I decided it wasn’t worth my time.
Manafort’s going to prison.
You do know this has already been on trial and Rosenstein found him not guilty right?
This is a false statement.
Isn’t it going about as everyone expected?
Aside from a cranky judge, I’m not seeing many surprises.
Prosecutors overwhelmingly go to trial with overwhelming cases.

It’s also a huge time suck.
I’ve been trying not to get myself into pointless discussions but it’s hard as it’s so frustrating to see people spout so many inaccurate things. I need to be more cognizant of this.
Its so weird when you realize where they are really coming from. And you are having this mental conversation with them and are trying to figure out how to get back from the bends in the truth they make. And I tell myself, OK, this person is unstable. Just stop listening. Move on. Next post please.
Forcefield: Cratic3947:That’s how boring this trial is…
Do Trump voters think nothing is of value unless it’s a ■■■■■■■ circus rodeo?
He’s only on trial because he worked for trump… We all know it.
Kinda the other way around. Things started going south for Donnie when he brought on Manafort. That’s when suspicions and eyebrows were raised. At least mine. Still not so far south that he lost the election. But still thats when the drift started. Donnie would be a lot more secure and still POTUS if he had never heard the name Manafort IMO.

He’s on trial because he’s a criminal. He got caught because he chose to be adjacent to the president, which is a high profile place to be. Oops.

Yeah, money laundering has absolutely nooooooooooooothing to do with it.
Well, that and large scale fraud.
That, too.
there goes the talking point this has nothing to do with trump…Nothing but a bunch of traitors. Every last one of them

And people wonder why I voted for Hillary. You had to be a complete idiot to not see this coming. He gave us 40 years worth of his business career to evaluate and people were so stupid and emotional and tied to the radio that they couldn’t figure it out. Hell even some Rust Belt Democrats.
NebraskaFootball:Looks like we finally have an answer as to why Prosecutors objected to the Manafort’s defense team line of questioning regarding Gates’ time on the Trump team. Gates is apparently also involved as a witness for them in the ongoing investigation of the Trump campaign. It will be interesting to eventually know what all he confessed to having knowledge about, with respect to his time on the campaign and transition.
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team told the court they want to keep a discussion regarding Rick Gates secret because releasing the transcript of the conversation would “reveal details of the ongoing investigation.”
The discussion took place Tuesday afternoon and involved the trial attorneys and Judge T.S. Ellis.
The still-secret conversation occurred in the middle of former Trump deputy campaign chairman Rick Gates’ testimony against his longtime boss Paul Manafort.
Defense attorney Kevin Downing asked Gates: “Were you interviewed on several occasions about your time at the Trump campaign?”
Prosecutor Greg Andres objected to the question before Gates could answer.
The lawyers and Ellis then huddled in the far corner of the courtroom to discuss whether the question could be asked. The overhead noise machine was turned on so that Gates, the jury and the public in the courtroom couldn’t hear what they said.
Ellis called for a break in the proceedings immediately after the short discussion ended, and Downing tried to ask about the Trump campaign investigation again.
During the discussion, the prosecutors now say they discussed “new” details about their “ongoing criminal investigation” into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election and possible coordination with the Trump campaign.
Gates is required to help with that investigation as needed and with the prosecution of Manafort, per his plea agreement.Gates testified for three days against Manafort this week.
“Disclosing the identified transcript portions would reveal substantive evidence pertaining to an ongoing investigation … In addition, sealing will minimize any risk of prejudice from the disclosure of new information relating to that ongoing investigation,” the special counsel’s team wrote.
“The government’s concerns would continue until the relevant aspect of the investigation is revealed publicly, if that were to occur,” prosecutors wrote in a court filing Thursday.
Well, I didn’t see that coming.
I figured at the time that the prosecution didn’t want the subject to come up because they’d already been spanked by the judge about the relevance of this case to the overall investigation and figured any line of questioning by the defense on that line would just give the judge more opportunity.
We’ll be seeing more of Rick Gates on the other side of him having placed his hand on a Bible, for sure.
Well now.
A filing today:

Very interesting. With an extension filed until November 10th as well. Well past the time needed to also testify in the DC trial.
Think faster - I have no idea what this filing means!

Prosecution has an “ongoing” need for “continued assistance” from Gates. Likely that means more testimony, in my mind.
They’re asking to provide another status in 90 days.
We haven’t seen the end of Rick Gates, not by a long shot.
Oh, and Giuliani’s demand to wrap things up by September 1? Laughable in the face of this filing.
Ah, thank you! But that must mean for the other case since this one’s supposed to wrapped up soon, no?

Yeah, he’s done testifying for the prosecution in this case for sure.
Other case? I’d think so.
Cases? Possibly.
