    When Manafort was asked about his involvement with the Russian-back Ukranian organization, what was his job title?

    Sorry, this investigation is not on your schedule, nor does it report to you.

    You'll have to wait like the rest of us.

    We shall see, shan't we?

    I mean, that is, if you and the other cons can be less duplicitous. You know, insisting Mueller was a fair and good pick when he was first picked, and now crying he is biased and should be recused.

    Typical bleating from the Trump sheep.

    All before the rusty blade kisses their shaved throats.

    Like I said. We. Shall. See.

    I guess for the same reason you claim Hillary was bribed for Uranium One 3 years before the deal took place ;)

    That doesn't mean anything. I highly doubt Manafort let Trump in on a money-laudering scheme of hundreds of thousands. "Oh hey, so you know, I'm racking in some shadow illicit money." That's not how wire frauds and money transferring works. They move those dollars in the shadows, beyond people's eyes. The less people involved, typically the better.

    Thank you, but I don't think it takes much brilliance to be commenting on the topic.

    Nor does it take much brilliance to comment on the lack of connection to the Trump Administration so many people have been tasked to make.

    That being said, if you think I'm brilliant, I humbly accept your compliment.

    Irrelevant. In those two months, if Manafort did anything with his Russkie friends, he's liable. And given the propensity of Trump and Co, with their Russian ties, I wouldn't be surprised if Manafort and Trump were colluding - with Russia - to launder dirty money, if nothing else.

    No, Manafort is the low hanging fruit. These types of investigations take time and the fact that this one has come out so quickly is a sign that Manafort was very easy pickings.

    Also, the group which is linked to Manafort in the Ukraine is a Russian backed entity.

    You should stop being so aggressive.

    This thread is all the proof you need that media companies do this. Again:

    Look at the URL(it ends with Paul Manafort indicted) which is not the title of the article. Check the URL’s of your links. See if the article title and url match. If they don’t, that means the title of the article was changed. If they do, that means that particular article’s title didn’t change. It doesn’t happen to every article(and I never said it did) but it does happen every day.

    Edit: the ends of url for articles ends with article title. You should really look at the url for two of the links you posted(one had no link) and see the title of the article is in the URL.

    Trump has laundered money for Russians before. Why else would Trump threaten to fire Mueller?

    If Trump fires Mueller, the gig is up, and he must be removed from office, immediately and with absolute finality. The same goes for his ENTIRE ADMINISTRATION.

    There are several points in the indictment that reference actions and statements made while Manafort was the campaign manager for Trump.

    Of course it was easy pickings, it dated back to 2014. He could've charged Manafort at any time(as seen by the Raid. Which I said was highly dubious, and IMO, it would've been less dubious if he was indicted then.) So, why wasn't he? Mueller kept Manafort around for something, and I guess at some point Mueller either A: Found what he wanted, or B: There was nothing more to find.

    We can speculate which one it was.

    The Russians have been laundering money thru Trump Towers since 1984.

    Gates is also getting brought in for money laundering but trump says these guys were Bad before he hired them and bad after they left. Not his problem,

    He has a Bus with extra reverse gears for running stuff over...I'm sure his current staff is really comfortable right now.
