SaysWho? Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/13/us/politics/manafort-plea-deal-prosecutors.html Quote Paul Manafort, President Trump’s former campaign chairman and one of Washington’s most prominent lobbyists, is close to a plea deal with federal prosecutors to avoid a trial scheduled for next week on charges stemming from work he did for pro-Russia political forces in Ukraine, people familiar with the case said on Thursday. Quote So far, four former Trump aides have pleaded guilty to charges related to the special counsel investigation: Michael D. Cohen, the president’s longtime personal lawyer; Michael T. Flynn, the former national security adviser; Rick Gates, the former deputy campaign chairman; and George Papadopoulos, a former campaign adviser.

CayceG Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 LMFAO HE'S BROKE https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/09/14/paul-manaforts-46-million-plea-deal/ Quote The property subject to forfeiture by PAUL J. MANAFORT, JR., includes, but is not limited to, the following listed assets: a. The real property and premises commonly known as 377 Union Street, Brooklyn, New York 11231 (Block 429, Lot 65), including all appurtenances, improvements, and attachments thereon, and any property traceable thereto; b. The real property and premises commonly known as 29 Howard Street, #4D, New York, New York 10013 (Block 209, Lot 1104), including all appurtenances, improvements, and attachments thereon, and any property traceable thereto; c. The real property and premises commonly known as 174 Jobs Lane, Water Mill, New York 11976, including all appurtenances, improvements, and attachments thereon, and any property traceable thereto; d. All funds held in account number XXXXXX0969 at The Federal Savings Bank, and any property traceable thereto; e. All funds seized from account number XXXXXX1388 at Capital One N.A., and any property traceable thereto; and f. All funds seized from account number XXXXXX9952 at The Federal Savings Bank, and any property traceable thereto; g. Northwestern Mutual Universal Life Insurance Policy 18268327, and any property traceable thereto; h. All funds held in account number XXXX7988 at Charles A. Schwab & Co. Inc., and any property traceable thereto; and i. The real property and premises commonly known as 1046 N. Edgewood Street, Arlington, Virginia 22201, including all appurtenances, improvements, and attachments thereon, and any property traceable thereto. Quote This adds both the Federal Savings Bank account listed for forfeiture in the EDVA case, and the Capital One case. And these are subject to both civil and criminal forfeiture, so Trump can’t pardon them away. Update: On Twitter, several people note that with this forfeiture, the Mueller investigation just more than paid for itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I once scoffed at the notion that he had reason to be afraid of Russian retaliation here in the US, but with that phrasing, I'm not so sure anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Quote Before Manafort pleaded guilty, Weissmann gave a 40-minute description of the criminal conduct in the case. “I believe it’s fair to say that’s probably the longest and most detailed summary that ever preceded this question, but is what the prosecutor said a true and accurate description of what you did in this case,” Jackson asked Manafort. “I did. It is,” Manafort, said It's pretty rough when it takes 40 minutes to describe all the crimes you're pleading guilty to in your second trial. Mueller isn't playing around. Quote “At one point, Manafort wrote to an associate, “I have someone pushing it on the NY Post. Bada bing bada boom.” This man wrote out "Bada bing bada boom.” He deserves to be in prison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
