Kellyanne Conway emphasized Tuesday that The Virginia-based trial of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort "centers on matters that have nothing to do with the campaign."

"I would note for your audience, Bill, that the judge has very strictly instructed no mention of Paul Manafort's role in the Trump campaign: Don't mention Trump, don't mention Russia, don't mention collusion," Conway, who managed Trump's campaign after Manafort, told Fox News' Bill Hemmer Tuesday morning.

She's largely correct: Manafort is alleged to have carried out massive bank and tax fraud, among other things. And both Mueller and Manafort's lawyers have said his campaign work should stay out of the courtroom. Another trial, set in Washington, D.C., will begin in September.

Still, Manafort was charged in the course of special counsel Robert Mueller's probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 election and related matters. And the charges against Manafort were viewed by many as an attempt to get him to cooperate with prosecutors in their cases against other Trump campaign affiliates.

3. I wonder what she has to worry about to have to keep lying. Obviously, many Trump staffers and

associates are or will be facing criminal charges, so maybe they feel they have to lie. But Kellyanne, SDS, Spicer.....is it just the money?

[dalton99a]

4. $179,700 annual salary. $39.3 million net worth. $8 million mansion - She doesn't need the salary

She's just freaking evil.

[dameatball]

5. Yeah, seems like the best explanation. I knew her and hubby had money.

[honest.abe]

6. Except the tiny fact that Manafort was Trump's campaign chairman.

They must know Manafort is going down which is why they are so desperate to distance themselves from him.

How long can they keep us this charade?

11. And did it for free until he got the GOP platform changed to favor Russia.

It was the only input the Trump campaign had in putting the platform together. I don't know if his financial situation during the campaign is relevant to the current case, but I hope it comes out at some time during the two trials.

7. Smelly Anne is just plain fucking stoopid!

8. How is being an unregistered foreign agent of Russia while campaign manager...

...and receiving $60M from Russia, as alleged in Mueller's filings in the criminal case against Manafort, nothing to do with the campaign???

And the judge never "ordered" there by "no mention of Russia" at trial. On the contrary, the judge denied Manafort's motion to exclude all evidence of what he did in the Ukraine and for Russia.

As usual, Kellyanne is lying.

9. Plus

he was the one who brought in Pence as a running mate.
