Former Trump Campaign Manager Paul Manafort Charged with Massive Money Laundering Scheme

It’s Mueller Monday and here’s my take on the indictment.

This guy was, allegedly, a MAJOR LEAGUE money launderer for Ukraine aka Russian interests — washing $18 million. How stupid was the Trump campaign for letting this guy run the show? I mean, any private eye worth his salt could’ve dredged up enough doubts to keep this guy off the team, let alone have him run it. I know there is a stringent vetting process and I cannot reconcile how they would knowingly bring in a guy like this, unless of course they wanted to.

Even if you think Trump is a crook and was doing Russia’s bidding, hiring Manafort would make even less sense under those circumstances, as it would draw attention to them.

I am supremely confident that these charges will stick and both Manafort and Gates will serve a minimum of 5 years in prison, if not a lot more. The government is rarely wrong when it comes to AML charges and this is fairly straightforward — very trackable and easy to prosecute.

Now the next question is, will Manafort and Gates talk, giving up someone close to Trump or perhaps Trump himself?

What’s interesting to note is Rick Gates, who was Manafort’s junior shill, also worked for Tom Barack — Trump’s very close billionaire buddy. I read somewhere that Gates had visited the WH as recently as June.

All of this makes for extreme happenings and we should all expect everything to quicken hereinafter. I can’t wait to see all of the shit Trump tweets as the Mueller lasso gets closer to his big Orange Gorilla neck.
