āYankees Official: Manafort Had āLegends Suiteā Season Tickets Through 2017.ā
Well, now heās got season tickets to a different suite.
Through 2147.
I wonder if huge baseball fan Brett Kavanaugh ever joined Manafort in that suite for a Yankees vs Nationals game?
all inclusive food and in-seat wait service.
Heāll be a pro waiter in no time. Lots & lots of waiting.
The Yankeeās? That alone should be enough to convict.
Ballers gonna ball.
A quarter million dollars to see a season of ā¦ the Yankees? Oh, man, the irony.
Hey batter, batterā¦Legend suite? Of course. Youāre not going to wear your ostrich skin suit out in the left field bleacher seats.
So I was checking dates on Manafortās wiki page and he has in the past lobbied for foreign leaders and foreign causes in which he registered as a FARA(Foreign Agents Registration Act). So I know this trial is about tax evasion, evasion such a high class word for cheating, but why didnāt Manafort register as FARA in his later work? Would not registering help in hiding his money overseas?
This is amazing. Itās the federal court equivalent of āI swear officer, that (insert illegal substance here) in my back seat is not mineā
Remember āthree strikesā? If Manafort was a young black man heād be on death row by now.
Some people say baseball originated in Russia in the 14th century as a game called lapta. Always a Russian connection with this guy, no matter how obscure.
I wonder if he had the all you can eat borscht and pierogies.
I assume that lobbyists are disinclined to register unter FARA because it has reputational penalties (I mean geez, people think youāre working on behalf of a foreign government or something)
Someone was explaining on another thread that a lot of what manafort did for his clients was āreputation launderingā - making them out to be founding fathers shepherding their fledgling country towards democracy the best way they know how.
Itās a lot easier to do that work if you pretend youāre not,you know, lobbying on behalf of a foreign government
āIn a humorous moment, prosecutor Brandon Van Grack on Friday asked Kirimca to explain what the New York Yankees is, prompting Kirimca to explain that itās a Major League Baseball team.ā
Heheā¦yeahā¦the questions you have to ask to āestablishā things are sometimes questions youād think would never need to be asked.
Actually, I thought I read somewhere that the total potential term he could be sentenced for (if the terms for individual crimes are sentenced to be served consecutively, not concurrently, and I have no idea how that is determined) is over 300 years LOL!
Heās a Yankees fan?
Hang him.
scoff if you must pshah - Iād enjoy eating all potato pierogies I could if I could get away with it.
Well, thatās your pierogitive.
To be fair, right field is the VIP bleacher section. Ask for Bald Vinnie if youāre there.
Well, that pays for Clayton Kershawās salary for just over a game!
Always leftā¦more homers, more progressive.
