Manafort will cooperate with Mueller as part of guilty plea, prosecutor says

"Best people"?



He was fired after just 2 months and long before the election. What he's been convicted of has nothing to do with Trump or the 2016 Presidential campaign.


This is what, like round 100 for the Trump haters? You should know by now that it is just going to be another dry well.

Of course every good elitist knows that the flyover state occupants are illiterates who shouldn't even be allowed to vote.

He joined the campaign in March 2016 and resigned in August of same year.

That's true. It is the cooperation part that is more interesting. For the SCO to accept the plea deal Manafort must've had something of substance to provide to the investigation.

But he was only made Campaign Manager at the end of June. Before that he was an unpaid volunteer.

We'll see but the plea deal was for, in his lawyers words: "conduct that dates back many years", ie long before his involvement with the Trump or the campaign. I'm betting that this will be just another disappointment in a long line of them for the Trump Haters.

I don't see how that matters. He was important enough to be present at the Trump Tower meeting along with Donnie Jr. and Kushner prior to becoming CM.

Yes, that's correct, but his cooperation is not limited to those crimes.

Your client shall cooperate fully, truthfully, completely, and forthrightly with the Government and other law enforcement authorities identified by the Government in any and all matters as to which Government deems the cooperation relevant.

Don't get me wrong Dowly ... I think your analizes are really good especially when going up against vienna, but how do you or did you get so good in US Politics being from Finland?

Are you close to the border with the USSR

Eh, you're the one clinging to the charges he plead guilty to, instead of the much more important issue of him now cooperating with the Special Counsel. The Trump Tower meeting being the first issue Mueller will likely ask him about and if Donnie Jr. lied about it in his testimony, then that's one more indictment hitting ever closer to Trump himself. Will he let his son go down or will he try to prevent that by going after Mueller?

Trump is nor lying, nor is he mentally unfit. Seems he is a victim of sympathetic audience control, which works in reverse. The audience controls him, as long as it is perceived as supportive. No joke.

Like I said we'll see but your boy has had Manaforts 2nd banana Gates in his cooperation pocket for months and nothing has yet emerged from it.

That the public hasn't heard anything re:Gates' cooperation doesn't mean a thing. Mueller is under no obligation to prosecute the moment he finds evidence of a crime.

OK but expect to be disappointed.

Someone should send Trump a rose.
