i'll take that as a no since there is literally no way to tell whether rick gates is connected to that without access to sealed documents that might come out in the courtroom

good to hear you give a hard answer. fwiw, you can indict 2 people for different reasons, just making sure you know.

edit

The indictment was returned on Friday against Mr. Manafort and one of his associates. The indictment is expected to be unsealed later Monday.


we'll get a hard answer in less than 24 hrs so no need to continue speculating

All I believed about the dossier when it leaked was that it was pretty troubling if true, but it seemed to make sense of the actions and behavior of Trump and his campaign staff.

Then I remember 4chan flipped its shit and tried to pretend like it made the whole thing up as a prank.

And no one bought it, which was pretty funny lol

Went I first brought up the absurdity of that dossier tall tale to you, you immediately retorted with, "that's just a 4chan troll!!!". You were very upset to find out otherwise because you knew how much it damaged the dossier's credibility.

i mean, it's really only a nothingburger if either:

1) there's absolutely no collusion between anyone else in the trump campaign and russia, or

2) nobody else let manafort know about anything they did relating to russia

neither of these seems particularly probable. ammontilda is correct in noting the primary motivation of pursuing manafort is ultimately going to be acquiring information on a more tasty subject, although secondary motivations likely exist.

it's more a question of 'will manafort and gates be able to provide enough on higher-priority persons of interest to the special counsel', not 'do they have anything at all', in my opinion.

Only time will tell at this point. I'm just seeing a lot of confidence reminiscent of 11/8/2016 and it'd be a shame if those same crow eaters had a second feast.

If there is collusion with Russia that Trump and his camp had any slight knowledge of, I say throw the book at them. But I find it funny that the only striking evidence of Russian collusion found thus far points towards Clinton. And instead of addressing that, all her supporters can do is say "but Clinton."

What world do you live in lmao

collusion in the uranium one case is the wrong word.

corruption is a more accurate word considering it was fundamentally a business deal with a compromised party, not interference in an election

both are kind of illegal but our political corruption laws are so weak that it probably wouldn't even be fully illegal under existing law, barring certain evidence pieces coming to light

it's really not appropriate to compare to this, and the merits of this shouldn't be getting muddied with that. it's a red herring falacy, albeit a worthy discussion topic independently.

but i tend to think that when people bring it up it's so they can keep the subject away from this, when it's much better to discuss merits of this case as they stand

and really where it stands is either manafort knows more or he doesn't; if he doesn't there's not likely to be much to come of this. we can really only speculate on that, though.

...yes, talking about potential crow eating is the same as dismissing an argument with "lala not listening conservative!!!!!"

What are your thoughts on the 13 charges?

They're what was expected. It's all going to come down to money laundering. No one would lend Trump money so the Russians stepped in with an offer.

First Charge= Conspiracy against the United States.
Count two- Conspiracy to launder money
Count 3-6= Failure to file reports of foreign banks and financial accounts for calendar year 2011-2014
counts 7-9= Failure to file report of foreign bank and financial accounts for calendar years 2011-2013
count 10=unregistered agent of a foreign principal.
count 11- false and misleading FARA statements.
count 12- False statements.


They're going to attempt to flip him publicly. This filing had to do with the statute of limitations coming up on those charges. You can't tell me a dude who got away with shit for years suddenly stopped in 2015 and 2016.

And never forget that Manafort had an apartment in Trump Tower in NY since 2006 and Manaforts own daughter used to speak about "private elevator rides" the two would take to discuss "business" dating back as early as 2010.

As in his company. US banks stopped loaning him money due to the risk he posed years ago, and Trump had to seek money from foreign banks. The problem arises that in many of the places where he got these loans the governments themselves are directly involved in allocating the funds.

And as for Manafort being a launderer you're aware the first charge against him was conspiracy against the US, right?
