New charges filed against Manafort in Russia probe
Quote:WASHINGTON — Special counsel Robert Mueller has brought additional charges against President Donald Trump's campaign chairman and a longtime associate, accusing them of obstructing justice.
The new charges were unsealed Friday against Paul Manafort and Konstantin Kilimnik. They come after prosecutors accused Manafort of attempting to tamper with witnesses as he awaits trial of felony charges related to foreign lobbying work.
Prosecutors have accused Kilimnik of having ties to Russian intelligence, a charge he denies.

RE: New charges filed against Manafort in Russia probe
They are going to keep pounding Manafort simply because he's saying "No" and maintaining his innocence. That cannot be allowed.

Quote:WASHINGTON — Special counsel Robert Mueller has brought additional charges against President Donald Trump's campaign chairman and a longtime associate, accusing them of obstructing justice.
The new charges were unsealed Friday against Paul Manafort and Konstantin Kilimnik. The new charges were filed once Mueller learned that the IG report was to be made public next week, and that the IG was un-redacting DOJ redactions to the report.
Fixed the statement to provide truth and clarity.

Where is your proof of this? Or do you pull your facts out your ass like the president?

"...Direct evidence of witness-tampering against Mr. Manafort, in Prof. Rosenzweig’s telling, is mostly vapor. “Saying ‘we should talk’ is hardly the stuff that true witness-tampering charges are made of. More to the point, if the entire conversation in which Manafort participated lasted for less than a minute and a half, he would have to be a very, very fast talker to have accomplished anything....”"

RE: New charges filed against Manafort in Russia probe
This article makes it sound like this is just more of Mueller's heavy handed tactics. The problem for Mueller is that he is up against someone he can't spend into oblivion. That seems to be why he is trying to freeze his assets, so he can't defend himself against unlimited government resources.

New charges filed against Manafort in Russia probe
And when this is all said and done, what possible penalties or sanctions does Bueller face for ruining lives over a senseless, wholly political snipe hunt?
That’s a LARGE part of the problem here. He can run around with impunity, chase down parking tickets or decades old, already investigated and cleared charges and bankrupt peoples entire life’s work. Then simply walk away.
Flynn isn’t and wasn’t ever a wealthy man, but was a lifelong public servant (in the right sense of the term, to my knowledge) but had NO chance of fighting this off.
Now? A convicted felon having to sell his house. His “crime”? Being an early part of the Presidents administration.
Criminalizing political, policy or personality differences.
Not a good look, nor good for a democracy.
If/when this all falls apart, Bueller and his merry band of fellow travelers should all be held to account.
But, of course, they won’t be...
