1. Thank you!

I really needed some happy news today.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. I wonder if it will directly involve his campaign work with Trump?

That would shut some people up pretty quickly.

[brooklynite]

11. No - obstruction of justice in 2018 (I assume the witness tampering charge)

[Achilleaze]

7. Good

Needed some good news and good music today

8. What a dumbass

That man is a very special kind of stupid.

[NewJeffCT]

9. I think it's also partly due to arrogance

people like Manafort, Trump, Kushner and others have been getting away with money laundering and screwing people over their entire lives, so it's just them doing what they have been doing thinking they can get away with it all again.

[wonkwest]

14. I agree

It's amazing the amount of base stupidity that derives out of arrogance.

I'm still waiting for Kushner's reckoning. You just know there is a pile under him waiting to be sorted.

[lunatica]

15. It's proof that even though you may go decades without being caught

your karma can catch up to your actions 100%. Even if these people end up getting smart about the possibly of being caught they can’t do anything about their past actions.

Of course, in Manafort’s case he obviously thought he could keep doing exactly what he had done before. There’s a lesson for dummies in there someplace.

10. Friday June 15th is deadline for Cohen

too the Judge renders her decision. FYI

[csziggy]

18. Beware the Ides of June?

[bdamomma]

19. you made me do this

[BigmanPigman]

12. CNN is saying that

the new charges, and new defendant close to Manafort, are obstruction of justice and conspiracy to obstruct justice on top,of 5 previous charges.

[underpants]

13. Witness tampering if guess

[bearsfootball516]

16. It's fun to see, but does it mean anything?

Wasn't Manafort already set up to spend the rest of his life in prison? Correct me if I'm wrong here.

[malaise]

17. Lock them Up!

NOW

Special counsel Robert Mueller files witness tampering indictment against Paul Manafort and Russian citizen Konstantin Kilimnik

Special counsel Robert Mueller filed new witness tampering charges against ex-Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort and Russian national Konstantin Kilimnik
Mueller was already asking a judge to revoke Manafort's $10 million bail.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly called the special counsel's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election a "witch hunt."

Special counsel Robert Mueller filed new witness tampering criminal charges against ex-Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort as well as Russian citizen Konstantin Kilimnik as a defendant.

The superseding indictment lodged by a grand jury sitting in federal court in Washington, DC, came days after Mueller asked the judge in Manafort's case to revoke his $10 million bail and jail him because of an alleged effort to tamper with witnesses.

Manafort, 69, and the 48-year-old Moscow resident Kilimnik were both hit with new charges accusing them of obstructing justice and conspiracy to obstruct justice by using intimidation or force against a witness, and also with tampering with a witness, victim or informant.

The superseding indictment filed by Mueller maintains five other prior criminal charges against Manafort pending in DC federal court, which relate to lobbying work he did on behalf of a pro-Russian political party in Ukraine. Those charges include conspiracy against the United States, conspiracy to launder money, acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign principal, and false statements.
