    Really.

    Told to Surrender

    That's the title. Not the article's title.

    Yes they do. Go to cracked.com and watch the article titles change multiple times throughout the day while the URL stays in the original form.

    The article title and thread have matched since I saw this....

    Edit: Looks like they changed it again.when I came into the thread, they were the same...

    Oh. So you've read the indictment?

    The legitimate news sources I've seen have been suggesting wire fraud/money laundering/tax evasion related to business having nothing to do with President Trump.

    Could you post the copy of the indictment the team is basing it's Trump Administration connection on.

    It is entirely too soon to claim that these wire transfers, even if they are the sole point of investigation, had nothing to do with the election.

    The legitimate news sources that you've seen have also not read the indictment, so why are you pretending to know that it has nothing to do with trump?

    Right. For when Holder found out some big banks had laundered drug cartel money, they just paid a fine and no one went to jail. Holder said it would cause economic problems to send the bastards to jail. I guess oligarch money is much more serious than drug cartel money?

    In regards to Manafort, this looks to be crimes he did long before he worked for trump. Mueller had to bust someone to justify his existence and we have seen this before with these SPs. If you looked at all of these people like Manafort, including Podesta, there would be few people left in DC.

    That's funny.

    Yesterday, the cons of the forum were convinced that Mueller wouldn't convicted anyone.

    Today, the Manafort arrest have nothing to do with the election.

    I can't wait for tomorrow ...

    They occurred in 2012 and 2013. I guess if he was working at the Podesta group at the time, then I guess it could be on behalf of Clinton.... so I’ll give you that. Trump wasn’t even a candidate in 2012 or 2013. He was a tv show host....

    Unless you’re starting a conspiracy where years before Trump decided to run, Manafort was paid by the Russians to help Trump win years later....

    Dude...the article's title changes during the day. He was told to surrender...he did...and then NY Times changed the title of the article to reflect that alteration.

    Calm down.

    It seems the instructions to the teams are to make the connections to the Trump Administration.

    I've asked for a copy of the indictment the teams must be basing this connection on.

    Can I assume the failure to provide it indicates the team is just making things up at this point?

    Are you claiming the indictment charges are for campaign activities?

    I didn’t realize you were so staunchly unaware that media companies change article titles but leave the url.

    It’s obvious with this article... look at url vs title

    Agree. A two tiered justice system should not exist, but does.

    Chew-On-This ...

    Paul Manafort, Who Once Ran Trump Campaign, Indicted on Money Laundering and Tax Charges

    Paul Manafort surrendered to federal authorities Monday morning, after a person close to the case said the first charges were filed in a special counsel investigation.

    The charges against Mr. Manafort, President Trump’s former campaign chairman, were not immediately clear but represent a significant escalation in a special counsel investigation that has cast a shadow over the president’s first year in office. Also charged was Mr. Manafort’s former business associate Rick Gates, who was also told to surrender on Monday, the person said.

    Mr. Manafort walked into the F.B.I.’s field office in Washington at about 8:15 a.m. with his lawyer.

    Mr. Gates is a longtime protégé and junior partner of Mr. Manafort. His name appears on documents linked to companies that Mr. Manafort’s firm set up in Cyprus to receive payments from politicians and businesspeople in Eastern Europe, records reviewed by The New York Times show.
