Zilch to do with campaign. |
I just read the indictment. Putin isn't mentioned once. |
Really? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Yanukovych is the former Presdient of Ukraine and the origination of Manaforts money. http://www.politifact.com/global-news/article/2016/may/02/paul-manafort-donald-trumps-top-adviser-and-his-ti/ http://www.breitbartunmasked.com/2016/07/25/paul-manafort-the-vladimir-putin-connection/ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jul/30/donald-trump-paul-manafort-ukraine-russia-putin-ties https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/09/24/manaforts-russia-connection-what-you-need-to-know-about-oleg-deripaska/?utm_term=.7adc773f6f02 |
God, you're dumb. |
You don't understand how prosectors work. But it will be tied together later on. They had to file this now because of some statute of limitations expiring on certain of the counts. |
|
Nothing else will happen. You know why? Because wealthy people have good attorneys to get them out of their mess.
It's their way to threaten people and their way to get what they want. That's all they know. Sue people or threaten to sue them. |
Putin is in the news but not indictment. this is what's in indictment: WASHINGTON — Paul Manafort and his former business associate were indicted on Monday on money laundering, tax and foreign lobbying charges, a significant escalation in a special counsel investigation that has cast a shadow over President Trump’s first year in office. Mr. Manafort, the president’s former campaign chairman, and his longtime associate Rick Gates, surrendered to the FBI on Monday. The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, said Mr. Manafort laundered more than $18 million to buy properties and services. “Manafort used his hidden overseas wealth to enjoy a lavish lifestyle in the United States without paying taxes on that income,” the indictment reads. Mr. Gates is accused of transferring more than $3 million from offshore accounts. The two are also charged with making false statements. “As part of the scheme, Manafort and Gates repeatedly provided false information to financial bookkeepers, tax accountants and legal counsel, among others,” the indictment read. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/30/us/politics/paul-manafort-indicted.html |
Federal criminal tax evasion charges result in prison time with virtual certainty unlike any other sort of federal charge. A small sampling of high profile ex-cons would beg to differ with your dismissive characterization of these charges: Walter Anderson An American entrepreneur, Mr. Anderson made his millions after the breakup of AT&T. He was convicted for evading more than $200 million in taxes. It is reported that in 1998, he paid $495 in taxes on $67,939 of income. For this he got 9 years in a federal pen. Paul Daugardas In a case dubbed by federal prosecutors as “the biggest criminal tax fraud in history,” former attorney Daugardas received a 15 year prison sentence for helping clients evade taxes. He was convicted of creating a fraudulent tax shelter that would create fake loss to reduce the tax bills of the extremely wealthy. During its operation, the tax shelter generated more than $7 billion in fraudulent losses, creating $1.6 billion in lost tax revenue. Martha Stewart Did 5 months in the fed pen and 5 months home confinement for securities fraud and tax evasion. and of course, the granddaddy of them all, Al Capone. Federal prosecutors get a rigid, unsatiable, hard-on for celebrity tax evasion cases. They are some of the very best lawyers in the country and their careers are made with these cases. They do not bring them unless they can win. I am a tax attorney and deal with them on a regular basis. They'll make you take a plea, but you will do time. |
Yes, Mueller has evidence but just went after Manafort as a first step. Please! He's got nothing and hoping Manafort will gift him something. Pathetic. Poor unfortunate souls. |
Manafort is wealthy, and he's just been charged with tax fraud and money laundering. Read the charges, airtight. Trump has gotten out of charges in the past. He is confident he will get out of charges in the future. We shall see. |
| Next step: Get the reluctant Manafort to cooperate and explain what was really going on with Russia and the campaign. Will Manafort turn or will he take the fall for the campaign's collusion with Russia? |
Not when the integrity of the United States of America is at stake. |
Ok, Manafort evaded taxes. What has that to do with Trump? Nobody thinks Manafort is not going to do time for this. But no connection to Trump and Russia. |
Remember what happened to Ursula the sea witch? She got rammed in the a$$ with a giant wooden ship. Poor unfortunate soul, indeed. |
The Podesta brothers are more closely connected to this issue than Trump. Hope he sings and nets those two pedos. |
