Tad Devine, Come On Down!!!

4:45 p.m.: Government calls its first witness: former Bernie Sanders’ adviser Tad Devine

The government has called its first witness: Tad Devine, the architect of Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign. Devine also worked closely with Paul Manafort as a political consultant in Ukraine, a striking demonstration of how U.S. political consultants from across the spectrum take their expertise overseas, where they earn big bucks advising foreign candidates.

He is likely to lay out exactly what Manafort was doing, exactly, during his years in Ukraine.

7. Hi, dear heart! (IKR?)

5. "And what was your role in the Ukraine election, Tad?"

HOPE THEY ASK TAD:

How much were you paid, Tad? Where was the money deposited?
Was it in rubles?

Did Paul ever tell the truth as to why he dragged you all the way to the Ukraine?
Did you know you were working for the Kremlin to run a coup on the Ukrainian election process?

Did you ever disclose the payment you recieved for the work in the Ukraianian election, on your US Tax Returns?

ASK HIM THIS!!!

8. Devine is a witness for Mueller, testifying against Manafort.

Devine is going through all that info as he describes what Manafort did. Great summary of his testimony at that WAPO link.

[Wwcd]

9. Ya. Read it.

What if Paul turns on Tad in the 2016 Trump Triial!

Today's trial is about Ukraine & Manaforts foreign busness deals.

The Domestic trial of Campaign 2016 will be a whole lot more revealing as to who dipped their hands in the Kremlin swamp.

I predict crooks will turn on crooks.

Paul's emails to & from Tad already show that someone already isn't being truthful.

Hope they got a BIG FAN for that courtroom!

10. I think Tad is "clean". His main purpose today seemed to be to assert Manafort was the boss

Since I guess the defense is gonna claim Manafort was an angel led astray by Evil Rick Gates lol

[Wwcd]

11. Defense has no case in using Gates.And Tad is Not clean.

That will be revealed in the Trial of Campaign 2016.

He's as dirty as the rest & they will prove it with the emails between Manafort & Tad right before the campaign began.

And a few other events as well.

I don't care who goes down.
Anyone tainted by dirty deals in 2016 needs to be held to account.
This country is in a fragile state & anyone who aided in bringing it about deserves to reap what they sowed.

F them all.

[emulatorloo]

12. Def agree on fuck them all.

[Wwcd]

13. Right? We cannot hold any loyalty to someone that blatantly duped us out of our American govt.

They are nobody necessary to us anymore.

6. Thank you for this link.

Defense:
"....never intentionally deceived the IRS about his income; did not realize he needed to file certain forms and make certain declarations."

Hoo boy. 😆
