It has become increasingly clear in recent weeks that Special Counsel Mueller is intent upon either flipping Paul Manafort against Trump in his 'Russian collusion' investigation or filing charges against him for crimes unrelated to the 2016 presidential campaign. Either way, Manafort's future looks to be dimming.
As the Daily Caller has just revealed in an exclusive report, former Trump campaign aides are now saying that Manafort could be indicted for financial crimes, allegedly including money laundering and/or tax evasion, in the very near future.
Former Trump campaign aides are telling The Daily Caller that they increasingly believe former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort will be indicted for crimes such as money laundering or tax evasion.
One of the former campaign advisers has knowledge of the ongoing investigations into Manafort, a longtime Republican operative who joined the Trump campaign last March. Another former aide said his own knowledge of Manafort’s past history working with despots, coupled with news reports about Mueller’s investigation, led him to believe that an indictment of Manafort is becoming more likely.
The former Trump advisers told TheDC they have no knowledge of any collusion with the Russian government on the presidential campaign. One aide stressed that any financial crimes by Manafort are his own problem and not that of the White House.
“Ill-informed speculation has become the new Washington parlor game. Despite breathless headlines, it is increasingly clear the Russia Collusion story is eroding,” Manafort’s spokesman Jason Maloni told TheDC. Maloni declined to comment when asked specifically about financial crimes.
One of the former aides was interviewed by a Congressional committee investigating Russian interference and told TheDC that many of the questions were about Manafort’s finances.
“Investigators appeared focused on finances and business relationships of the Trump family and top associates such as Paul Manafort and General Michael Flynn,” the former Trump campaign adviser told TheDC.

And he should be if he is guilty. Interesting though - when was the last democrat actually indicted?? I mean we have bill, hillary, podesta, WS, sharpton, ried, hell even 0bama and that is just the tip of the berg.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Manaford has a Lolita island like Hillary's husband's friend had or sent SEXT to under age girls like Huma's husband did?
ReplyDeleteAll Manafort has to do is stay silent like all the dems do. Then President Trump can pardon him. Like the dems pardon their friends.
ReplyDeleteRemember when Clinton got impeached fined a million dollars and lost his license to practice law? I do. He was the last democrat I voted for. However democrats during the election said it had nothing to do with Hill
