Speaking of Nunes:
Check out the last sentence, above Rep. Lieu’s signature.
Well Manafort literally couldn’t afford to have known how much money he made overseas that he didn’t report to the IRS.
A lot of them are there for just the intent to sell. I don’t know know how likely they would have been to actually sell it, but they were scooped up just for holding the bag. Zero tolerance was a massive, massive overreaction to the “problems” of marijuana.
And Putin is changing the rules to allow his complete and uninterrupted control of Russia at the same time.
Those two are sharing notes.
That’s because this isn’t a soap opera, it’s a story line from WWE. And we’re getting to the part where Trump is going to try and throw some chairs into the ring.
Agree. Manafort is in jail because of his tax fraud and malfeasance in the United States, NOT due to his dirty work in the Ukraine. Hopefully a future Democratic POTUS will extradite him to the Ukraine so that they can deal with him for his crimes there. He deserves to die in a cold, wet Ukrainian Gulag just downwind of Chernobyl.
Why are these dumps always on Friday?! 
Yeah that was leading up to his trial, which was after he had his bail revoked. He would meet with his legal team which brought in a laptop. Paul would compose an email or two, put them in the draft folder, and one of legal team would send them off once they got out of the prison.
Manafort won’t live past his time in US prison. He’s not in good health at all.
a U.S. President who believed that Ukraine had lashed out against his Presidential campaign
I don’t believe Manafort about this. Retribution isn’t enough motivation.
Remember, Donald’s finances are dependent upon Russia. Russia is eyeing Ukraine. Of course, a tax return would answer this, but… it’s hidden by the government.
Too.
TPM staff writers seems to work 9-5 M-F, and yet breaking news erupts 24/7. The exception is Sunday when we get recycled R talking points from Sunday morning gabfests. Go figure.
Ted Lieu is a treasure.
Well since Manafort was behind getting Yulia Tymoshenko sent to prison…karma would be pleased with this outcome.
He couldn’t stand being one-upped by Xi.
Way back when, long time House member Henry Waxman held this seat and he was thought to be a tenacious bulldog who passed a ton of legislation while Democrats were in the majority. Maybe the office and the actual chair they share has magical properties.
Paul Manafort has clients like S.P.E.C.T.R.E. did.
His entire career has been dedicated to installing evil monsters in public office.
His “business” is tyranny, his method is conspiracy, and his clients are co-conspirators.
There’s good money in it since the tyrants know they need a good make over or a strong propaganda network and that ain’t cheap. It’s easy out there for a sociopath.
ETA: So long as they get results and the tyrant remains in power…
I read this tweet and most of the thread but it’s not clear where the dumping will occur. On Maddow again? But I’m glad I scrolled through because I found this from Maddow.
He was just operating from the NFL playbook…
