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.
