Expected Trump tweet at any moment: "Cheeseburger emoji with cheese on bottom is a DISASTER. Many people tell me it should be a CRIME to put cheese under meat paddy. Where's the beef??!! NoT!. DO SOMETHING!"
“Defendant PAPADOPOULOS lied to special agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, concerning a federal investigation based out of the District of Columbia, about the timing, extent, and nature of his relationships and interactions with certain foreign nationals whom he understood to have close connections with senior Russian government officials.”
LOL at Trump tweeting there is NO COLLUSION at almost exactly the same time the Papadopolous plea is unsealed that directly admits to collusion.
No one is safe. Not even the Dad from Webster apparently.
Read the indictment, Manafort and Gates were not "laundering money for the Russians" they were laundering money for themselves. The charges all relate to the failure of Manafort and Gates to register as agents of a foreign power, failure to report money held in foreign bank accounts, and then using that money on spending in the US while failing to report the income. The current charges have nothing to do with Manafort and Gates' work on the Trump campaign. I am sure that Mueller is hoping he can use these charges to obtain cooperation in his investigation of others, but the current charges do not have anything to do with Manafort's work on the Trump Campaign.
