(29,205 posts)I'm certain (and have stated this here before) that the Russian Mob has threatened their lives.
It wouldn't surprise me at ALL to learn that the nerve agent attack on the ex-Spy AND HIS DAUGHTER in England was meant as a message to Manafort not to flip.

(51,611 posts)Why/how is Manafort more afraid of Russians than he normally should be? Did he do or say something that I missed? Isn't it normal that they all should be afraid of Putin?

(20,584 posts)and she is just like Mary Shannon. She worked lots of big cases and also witness protection. She told me what goes into developing new identities and keeping the people safe - not easy. Their histories have to go way back. There are all kinds of people in that program, including whistle blowers from federal agencies.
She also said she will always love Robert Mueller. Besides being a straight arrow - when it came to children he didn't mess around - he made them a priority.
Can you imagine working with Manafort and his trump connection? What a nightmare.

(3,491 posts)I thought I knew a lot about Dean but didnt know about witness protection. Wonder how he means that in terms I wasnt aware of a name change or him and his wife being shipped to the Midwestern hinterlands.

By the time this is over, we're going to have to do some smudging ceremonies around the White House - to purify the place and dispel all the evil hoodoo that oozes out of every one of these creeps. If I were an incoming POTUS, I'd want the place fumigated, and more. Maybe bring in an exorcist, too. The whole place is contaminated.

(493 posts)The entire family would have to be under witness protection. He probably wants jail so they can't get at him. That doesn't mean they won't go after his family. Doesn't pay to be a crook does it? Years ago men like him would of been hung up at the nearest tree for treason.
