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.

    Surely this sudden charge could not be a convenient distraction and diversion from H. Klinton crimes, i.e Klinton-Russia-Uranium wheeling-dealing and the FBI being a smoke screen for the entire Klinton Crime Familia? No?

        Mueller is the epitome of a dirty cop and FBI is an institution corrupt to its very core. The purpose of this indictment is to distract from Uranium One pay-and-play scheme and Crooked Klinton’s treasonous behaviour. Watch how UraniumOne vanishes from fake news network reporting.

      Gee thanks Vince for reminding me of my cringeworthy ‘literally nothing’ comment. I’ll be sure to return the favor.

        I’m right as often as a broken calendar at best when it comes to politics. I will carry the shame of taking this victory lap and will be understanding when the time comes ?

      Well, since this is about Trump, the dems are looking to criminalize behaviour that is entirely natural to them. Especially the Klinton Familia.

    This is never going to get to Trump. He’s a delegator so no surprise some of his people went too far given the company he keeps. He would have to be blindingly stupid to have personal knowledge of any of this and not fired the people immediately.

          I’m a dumb motherfucker who has been right about this from the start. You’re just too stupid to see what happened today… Big Game Hunter Donnie Junior and Crown Prince Kushner are next. It’s over.

          Please enlighten us why Mueller in in shit up to his neck?

            Because the trail he is sniffing will inevitably lead to Podesta Inc and then HRC.
            Mueller is up in years.
            A heart attack will be “natural causes”.

            Yes, you are dumb. You and the MSM are giving Mueller the rope he needs to hang you all with.

            He’s draining the swamp. Who cares about Manafort? Nobody. He’s jailing lobbyists AKA The Swamp.

            You must love to lose.

    Trump is done. He is going to be well and truly lawyered (extra Ken Starr) from here on in.
