Discussion: Unsealed Warrant Reveals More About Manafort's Dealings With Russian Oligarch

ā€œHe was only my campaign chairman for what, like 15 - 20 minutes. Never ran into him at tRump Tower either, where he lived for maybe a week or two. Paul who again? Nope sorry, hardly can recall him. ā€œ

You’ve got to figure that the only reason Manafort hasn’t yet flipped (if he hasn’t) is because he fears a Club Fed less than he does a faceful of poison from Putin.

The sheer magnitude of dirt and sleaze with this guy continues to amaze me. I know it shouldn’t, but it does.

Given the domestic circles in which Manafort traveled, it’s no wonder there are so many Republicans in DC tugging at their collars. I think Manafort was unusually dirty, but I don’t think he was uniquely dirty.

GO TO JAIL, MANAFORT
GO TO JAIL, RORABACHER

Etc.

Jail? There is a legitimate case to be made that this ā€˜man’ violated the Espionage Act. You can be executed for that. Selling out our country for money qualifies this scumbag in my book.

If Manafort goes to prison, it won’t be at Club Fed.
And he’d be less likely to be poisoned in a federal prison than anywhere else on earth.

Manafort was tied to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska like a hand to a glove, and we can surmise as Trump is to Putin.

Just one more piece as the evidence drips in.

Manafort didn’t bring the grift-he wanted in on it. IQ45’s role in being a launderer for Putin’s partners in crime and bag man for Russian intelligence in support of a Republican Party takeover of all the institutions of our governing structure, is like chum in the water for sharks and is widely and well known. Manafort’s a low-life scum-ball, but he ain’t nothing like the vile, foul and disgusting fascist in the White House.

Club Fed like hell. Maybe Manafort needs a little tour of ADX Florence to clarify his thinking.

According to the warrant, Manafort received $760,000 from off-shore account to buy clothes. That is 2000% of the median family income for my county and 2600% the median family income of the county next to mine. Guess which presidential candidate won both counties in 2016.

Sorry. Federal Prisons contain inmates who’ll shank other inmates for extra points at the commissary. Manafort has strong cause to be fearful of GenPop.

It is doubtful that he’d be placed in the general population of any prison.

Basically Manafort coveted the job with the Trump campaign for two reasons, to have information to sell to his Russian oligarch pals to deliver to Putin, as well as dangle future opportunities to buy into the Trump presidency by floating him multi-million dollar ā€œloansā€ right now. A real win-win for the increasingly desperate Manafort, who as we remember begged to work for free in the Trump campaign.

Only the BEST people!

Not looking too good for Manafort. It is time to sing Paul.

Conspiracy with Russia against the United States, and corrupt financial payoffs all in one.

Gee, just like we thought.

Sarah Palin must be gnashing her teeth over this. And I’ll bet he never was asked to ā€œreturnā€ them in garbage bags either.
