Manfort: A Complete Fold

[kpete]

THE DEAL: Manafort has to cooperate "fully, truthfully, completely, and forthrightly" and testify to any grand juries and meet with government agents without his lawyer present.

3. Amazing, isnt it.

What is more amazing is Mueller could provide photos of rump shooting children and the GOP wont do anything about it.

Better take the House back.

17. Makes one almost wonder that Mueller has a case that's scarier than what the Kremlin has

on Manafort. That's some scary sh*t!

2. What does a crook know of truth?

Or forthrightness?
Manafort will only reveal what he is forced to reveal. My bet is that Mueller is smart enough to use Manafort to tighten the case against Trump.

I feel very badly for Paul Manafort and his wonderful family. “Justice” took a 12 year old tax case, among other things, applied tremendous pressure on him and, unlike Michael Cohen, he refused to “break” - make up stories in order to get a “deal.” Such respect for a brave man!

6. Thanks for posting Trump's tweet

I couldn't find it.

He's such a weasel. I can't wait to see him destroyed.

10. Throwing Manifold under the bus is not an option. Pardon is not an option. The walls closed in

another irreversible notch today on the whole criminal gang and their enablers.

Way to go team Mueller!!!

7. Where does it say "without his lawyers present"?

Whenever I had a cooperating client I was ALWAYS there, no matter who the client was talking to or which agency. I have NEVER heard of such a thing and ethically I don't know how an attorney could advise a client to accept such a term.


I do have a migraine so maybe I missed it, but my opinion about it stays the same.


Okay...... See it after another read.... Looks like boiler plate language saying he doesn't have to have counsel present at every meeting, but all he has to do is request in writing to the prosecutors that his counsel be present. This may be useful for law enforcement if say they just want him to clarify or identify things. Would be more time efficient (less billable hours for attorneys) to have him do this up front general waiver. I guarantee that any big confab will have his attorneys there beside him.

8. Sweeeeeeeet

They're all going down, one way or another. Especially since Mueller made sure to send State matters to States as soon as they arose. I am quite sure New York is not the only State where banks etc. were defrauded by this gang.

13. He had to plead guilty to the 10 counts the jury was hung on

According to MSNBC commentator Paul Butler on Chris Hayes's show.

14. Bob Mueller shows tRump how a great deal is made

16. As Mister Rogers would say, "it's a wonderful day in the neighborhood "

This makes my month.
