Night before trial and Manafort agrees to dismiss his civil suit challenging Mueller's authority.

On Monday, Manafort agreed to dismiss a civil suit challenging Mueller's authority. The suit was dismissed earlier this year, but Manafort's legal team appealed the decision. On Monday night, his lawyers notified the court that both the Department of Justice — including Mueller and Rosenstein — and Manafort agreed to voluntarily dismiss the case.

while others are saying “HE’S DEFINITELY GOING TO GET A PARDON!!!”

Me, I don’t know what the hell’s going on, but may I take this opportunity to wish my DU brothers and sisters a very merry Manafort Eve!!

He's going to be in Federal Prison a long time. Ain't no time off for good behavior in Federal Prison. Ain't no early release. And they'll take most of his money before its all over with.

It seems this bunch doesn't understand what is happening. They have never had any consequences for anything they've ever done, and they've done some nasty, illegal, immoral shit. In the past they just kept going, kept lying, made more money, respected no laws, feared nothing. Even now, tonight, I get the sense that Manafort expects if he keeps bullshitting all this is going to go away like it always has. It's a shame the number of people like Manafort this country produces, the Republican party is full of them.


It would be nice if Justice rained down. It would be nice if our 'leaders' weren't scum. But they are.
