No thread on the Manafort wiretap?

Recommended Posts

Some of the intelligence collected during the surveillance reportedly signaled that Manafort may have pushed for Russian officials to help try to get then-candidate Donald Trump elected. However, sources told CNN the evidence was not conclusive. 

Manafort – who is a key figure in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s involvement with the election – had his Virginia home raided in July by FBI agents who were looking for financial documents related to the election.

The FBI took documents and other materials related to Mueller’s investigation during the raid, just one day after Manafort had voluntarily met with members of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

The raid was followed up with a warning to Manafort from Mueller’s prosecutors that they planned to indict him, The New York Times reported.

Or as uncle blue would put it, the is no evidence of anyone committing a crime.

There's no such thing as inconclusive evidence. There's evidence or the lack of evidence.

Also,planning to indict isn't an indictment and an indictment isn't evidence of a crime.

Washington (CNN)Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team is reaching back more than a decade in its investigation of Paul Manafort, a sign of the pressure Mueller is placing on President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman.

The FBI's warrant for a July search of Manafort's Alexandria, Virginia, home said the investigation centered on possible crimes committed as far back as January 2006, according to a source briefed on the investigation.

Whatever Mueller is gonna stick Manafort with, that warrant doesn't sound related to the 2016 election.

We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch. How you gonna throw a shutout when all you do is bitch.

"Inconclusive evidence", is another way of saying "no evidence".

Saying "you plan to idict".    Is probably actionable by someone in the public eye as a threat and damage to personal reputation.

 

This is a political fight not a legal one anyway.  Like the Clinton case and Obama's actions, the law and breaking it means little.

He's gonna go down for dealings with the former dictator of Ukraine. It definitely predates the election as the guy was chased out in '14.

They are going to dig up anything to pressure him into a statement that involves Trump.

I would be surprised if they would care whether or not it was a lie.

Less than two weeks before Donald Trump accepted the Republican presidential nomination, his campaign chairman offered to provide briefings on the race to a Russian billionaire closely aligned with the Kremlin, according to people familiar with the discussions.

Paul Manafort made the offer in an email to an overseas intermediary, asking that a message be sent to Oleg Deripaska, an aluminum magnate with whom Manafort had done business in the past, these people said.

“If he needs private briefings we can accommodate,” Manafort wrote in the July 7, 2016, email, portions of which were read to The Washington Post along with other Manafort correspondence from that time.

The 2006 date and forward. In 2006, Manafort received a 10 million a year deal to promote Putin's interests around the world. That deal was with the same Russian oligarch that Manafort offered to give a private campaign briefing to last year. It's all connected.

President Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, secretly worked for a Russian billionaire to advance the interests of Russian President Vladimir Putin a decade ago and proposed an ambitious political strategy to undermine anti-Russian opposition across former Soviet republics.

Manafort proposed in a confidential strategy plan as early as June 2005 that he would influence politics, business dealings and news coverage inside the United States, Europe and the former Soviet republics, even as US-Russia relations under Republican President George W. Bush grew worse.

Manafort pitched the plans to Russian aluminum magnate Oleg Deripaska, a close Putin ally with whom Manafort eventually signed a $10 million (£8 million) annual contract beginning in 2006, according to interviews with several people familiar with payments to Manafort and business records obtained by the AP.

There is no indictment if there is no evidence of a crime.
