Judge raises doubts about scope of Mueller’s authority



A federal judge raised doubts Thursday about the scope of the order used to appoint special counsel Robert Mueller to probe alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Lol, you probably had to clean your computer monitor off after you read the above. Again, enlighten me, how'd that turn out for Paulie Numbuts?

Is there even one thing in this thread I've been wrong about?

First and foremost, no Russian collusion with the Trump campaign (the debate is over)

Second, NO FLIPPING, since there's NOTHING to flip

There will be no prosecution for conspiracy against the United States, and if Mueller is stupid enough to pursue this charge, they'll be no conviction

Manafort may have a tax evasion problem, that's the real deal and the only significant threat.

On a lessor charge, something nobody is ever charged with, failure to register as a foreign agent is a nuance charge against Manafort

There will be no prosecution for money laundering, more political posturing by Mueller




Once again, looks like another clean sweep, the difference between smart and informed people and FUCKING IDIOTS (then again, it's easy to look smart when dealing with an unhinged angry piss poor modern day liberal idiot)

just time doing it's thing

Is there even one thing you've been wrong about? ROTFLMAO!!!!!! How come you refuse to explain what, exactly, about the following, is too tough for you to understand?

"Collusion" is not explicitly cited in US legal code. But certain interactions between a presidential campaign and a foreign government could be illegal under existing statutes, experts say.

"It's a red herring by Giuliani," Bradley P. Moss, a Washington, DC-based lawyer specializing in national security, told Business Insider.
He noted that the term "collusion" doesn't appear in the memo from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointing Mueller as special counsel.

"Mueller isn't investigating 'collusion.' He is investigating possible coordination between the campaign and the Russians, particularly any actual crimes committed in the context of that coordination," Moss said.

Moss said that conspiracy to defraud the US is a crime, under 18 USC 371.

Paul Manafort Faces 305 Years in Prison for Tax Fraud – A Crime that Typically has an Average Sentence of 1 Year and 3 Months! (VIDEO)

by Jim Hoft July 31, 2018 185 Comments

paulmanafort8-600x337.jpg

The bank fraud and tax evasion trial for President Trump’s former campaign chair Paul Manafort began Tuesday morning in a federal court in Alexandria, VA.


The alleged crimes have nothing to do with Trump, the Trump campaign, collusion or Russia.

Paul Manafort is in solitary confinement for 23 hours every day.
Paul Manafort faces 305 years in prison for tax evasion crimes.


The Deep State don’t play.

His business accomplice Tony Podesta has not been charged with any crimes. Tony Podesta was offered immunity by Dirty Cop Robert Mueller to testify against Paul Manafort in the ongoing witch hunt.

Tuesday night Tucker Carlson had this to say on Mueller’s political agenda.

Tucker Carlson: Manafort had his bail revoked. In an unusual penalty for a man with no criminal convictions, he has been held in solitary confinement pretty much ever since for 23 hours a day.Manafort now faces 305 years in prison. That’s several life sentences. So what exactly is Paul Manafort accused of doing? If you guessed murder, guess again. Most murderers don’t get treated like that by the government. The average violent felon in this country receives just six-and-a-half years behind bars. No, Paul Manafort is accused of something far worse than murder – tax evasion and violating banking regulations. The government isn’t even suggesting Manafort stole money from a bank. They say he was dishonest on loan applications. For that: solitary confinement and 305 years in prison… For perspective on that, the average sentence for tax fraud in this country is a year and three months.

Manafort probably committed a crime, he probably cheated on his tax returns. But he's being treated the way he's being treated because he's associated with Trump and Mueller is desperate. Classic prosecutorial overreach, something Mueller and his cronies have been admonished for before.

Mueller is not some stand up guy above reproach, he's closer to a lowlife political hack.

If I recall correctly, he was chasing Manafort about this stuff ten years ago, but he didn't have the powers of a "special prosecutor" back then so he couldn't nail him at the time

ROTFLMAO, you clowns are hilarious! First of all, this scum made, and hid over 60 million, obviously more than most people make in their lifetimes, yet, Witless Willie is grudgingly willing to concede "Manafort probably committed a crime, he probably cheated on his tax returns," lol, after talking outta his ass for MONTHS about how sketchy the case was. It's often pointed out that, with all the shit that Al Capone did, the government ultimately got him on taxes, and he died in prison(deja vu all over again coming up, to paraphrase Yogi Berra). So, anybody who pooh-poohs massive tax fraud is, by definition, a nitwit. But, wait, there's MORE, like they always say on those $19.95 gadget commercials: unfortunately for Manafort, the money spigot to Viktor Yanukovych, prime minister of Ukraine and an ally of Putin, abruptly dried up. WHY did it dry up? Because VV was robbing the country blind, and barely escaped with his life in running back to Russia. What does it say about Manafort that he associates with such(fellow) scum? So, once the money dried up, what does Manafort do? He commits massive bank fraud with mortgage applications(which explains, to some extent, the long line of financial people lining up to testify against him), so he could keep on buyin' those expensive suits and ostrich jackets. Despite being deep in debt, he also offered to work for Dump-for FREE, whatta guy! And, he made not only made promises to one banker of getting that guy a cushy government job in return for a loan he shouldn't have gotten, he made promises to another Russian re: access to Dump, and, last, but DEFINITELY not least, a lot of this was going right at the time when the GOP platform re: Russia suddenly changed to a MUCH more favorable attitude towards Russia. Whatta the odds, lol? And YOU guys apparently want him to get probation and maybe a little community service. Good luck with THAT, lol.

Manafort trial – LIVE: Accountant testifies in front of Judge TS Ellis that former Trump aide did not report foreign accounts






Tom Barnes, The IndependentAugust 3, 2018


The fourth day of Donald Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort's trial could prove to be explosive, with the prosecution's star witness rumoured to be taking the stand.
Rick Gates, who has accepted a plea deal after being indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, could now testify against his ex-business partner Mr Manafort on Friday.
Mr Mueller’s team has reiterated they have “every intention” of calling Gates as a witness, following comments from a prosecutor on Wednesday suggesting he was not certain to take the stand.
Prosecutors now expect Gates to be called on either Friday or Monday to testify against Mr Manafort, who denies a string of bank fraud and tax avoidance charges.
Follow live updates from day four of the Manafort trial here:
Please allow a moment for the live stream to load
The testimony of Heather Washkuhn, of the accounting firm NKFSB, appeared to undercut the defence used by Mr Manafort's attorneys that he can't be responsible for financial fraud because he left the details of his spending to others, including long-time associate Gates.
Ms Washkuhn also told the court Gates was involved only in Mr Manafort's business dealings, not his personal expenses.
Prosecutors spent the first two days of the trial attempting to portray Mr Manafort as a tax cheat and a liar who hid much of the $60 million he earned from political work in Ukraine by stashing it in undisclosed overseas accounts.
Although the trial has come about as part of Mr Mueller’s investigation into possible Russian meddling in the 2016 US election, the hearings are largely expected to focus on Mr Manafort’s business dealings.
He may however face a second criminal trial in September over allegations of collusion with Moscow during the vote as a result of evidence collected during the probe.

I think it is inevitable they convict him of something. But this is interesting.

I think it is inevitable also. Wouldn't it be great though if he was acquitted of all
charges and when Ellis questions the jury they say because it has nothing to do with
Russian collusion.

On the other hand Manifort has to want this to end so Trump can pardon him and he can
get on with what time he has left. It would also cast a shadow on the next trial. Will
Mueller waste more time just to have Trump pardon him again?

Convicted on 8 counts - tax evasion/fraud and failing to register foreign bank accounts.

No collusion
Nothing to do with Trump.

This whole spectacle is embarrassing.

That'll be so sweet.

Libtards will claim "obstruction" because it'll send a clear signal to Mueller on any of his remaining clown show trials.
