Tough shit, asshole! Manafort is a sleazy individual with sleazy lawyers. Who would have thought?
Lawyers for former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort called him āone of the most recognizable people on the planet ā¦ ā
ā¦and especially beloved by any country who hates the United States.
I recognize him as a criminal scumbag.
I do believe he will be leaving his wife, daughters and grandchildren for 10 to 15 at a minimum.
āone of the most recognizable peopleā
In Russiaā¦
Paul, I hate to tell you this (not really), but youāre like a walking dictionary example for the word non-descript.
Apart from his very expensive suits (which I wouldnāt recognize anyway) Manafort-look-alikes populate every airport bar over the entire world.
-
Manafortās claim to being one of the most recognizable figures (very likely false) has no bearing on his being a risk to flee the country to avoid prosecution. Especially, given his foreign government connections.
-
If heās not planning to leave the U.S., then why the fuss about surrendering his MULTIPLE passports? Nope nothing international Spy-like about holding multiple, and different numbered passports.
I am one of the most recognizable people. Dictators and warlords from Equatorial Guinea to Tajikistan to the Philippines have my fingerprints and saliva samples on their silverware.
Doesnāt really matter if we canāt extradite you back. We know where Snowden is too.
And his purported devotion to his family should translate into a steady stream of visits from them all ā¦
āApparently, the Government Memorandum seeks to persuade this Court that Mr. Manafort is a serious risk to simply up and leave his wife of almost 40 years, his two daughters, and his grandchildren, so that he can live the rest of his life on the lam.ā
What are mere children and grandchildren compared to Almighty Lucre?
He was perfectly happy to sell his soul to Trump.
And his country to Putin.
LOOK! ITāS MANAFORT!
On the lamā¦ lolā¦ I remember those Jimmy Cagney movies. Ooo, āOceans Elevenā. Run and hide. Run. And hide.
Except he wouldnāt have to.
Heād make a great living tutoring Americaās enemies in the ways to spin news and market their brand to lull Americans into complacency while our enemies secretly manipulate us for their advantage.
Heās done it before.
Which is pretty much what his daughter said about her devoted family-man daddy.
"In a series of texts reviewed by Business Insider that appear to have been sent by Andrea to her sister, Jessica, in March 2015, Andrea said their father had "no moral or legal compass. [āā¦] āHe is a sick fāing tyrant [ā¦]ā"
Well if what I read is true, that Mercer stepped down from his own organization and divested Breitbart to his kids, then maybe Manafort and all the other players will jump on Mercerās mega yacht and head to points unknown.
And encounter an iceberg on the way.
Maybe they did, the the Ice Berg Papadopolous.
