I believe they call it āforensic accountingā because you have to wear gloves and a mask to keep yourself from puking while studying Manafortās financial shenanigans.
Itās going to be tough for Manafortās defense team as this is pretty much open and shut documentary evidence.
Say what you like about Manaforte - all this wheeling and dealing and concocting PR campaigns for ruthless dictators and creating fraudulent bank transfers and wire transfers for bogus purchases and dodging taxes AND running a successful campaign to install a russian puppetā¦ that guy has a work ethic, if no other kind.
Iām waiting for Manafortās team to assert the accountant had an affair.
He is toast. How can Manafortās attorney blame Gates?
Forensic accountants will be the hero of this entire travesty called the Trump admin.
You can lie, you can cheat, you can steal, but a forensic accountant will find it all because folks like these in the administration are stupid and ALWAYS believe they have no issue getting away with all of it.
Pish posh everybody knows the FBI is made up of 17 angry democrats.
Figures donāt lie but liars figure.
Has anyone seen a summary of Manafortās real income versus the amount he declared on his returns?
Thatās probably on one of those charts Judge Ellis doesnāt want the jury to see.
Itās no wonder Hair Furor is in a tizzy about the Manafort trialā¦ heās got to be sweating bullets bigly over the thought of anyone with accounting experience and a sense of ethics looking at his books, much less a fully trained forensic accountant or auditor.
Especially with the āmy accountā on the emails. BOOM!
How many hits does an electronic search of these documents return for āTrumpā, āPenceā, and āRossā?
As long as it wasnāt with an oligarch. Or if it was, not to mention that particular detail.
All that work and complexity, to save money. Imagine the life he would have had not spending all this time trying to deviously hold on to it. That is the part that gets me. With any of these people. Makes me wonder a lot about the Trump family and their assets as well.
āGreed. Is goodā.
Manafort is young enough to have heard that in his 20s.
Donāt forget that thereās a lawsuit in progress against the Trump Foundation and its totally illegal business activities. A forensic accountant will have a field day with all the bogus transactions, self-dealing, false donations, etc. Itāll take a while to work its way though court, but itās there and very, very bad news for the Trump Crime Family.
And thatās a State level lawsuit, if I recall, so thereās no pardon recourse.
āIf the flows depict,
You must convict!ā
Yup, sure thing.

Thatās all very well, but how many extra-marital affairs has she had?
