Paul Manafort was the chairman of President Donald Trump's campaign when he offered a Russian oligarch "private briefings" on Trump's bid.
He was spearheading the campaign when WikiLeaks began dumping thousands of emails from the Democratic National Committee that had been stolen by Russian operatives.
Perhaps most importantly, he was one of three top Trump campaign officials to attend a meeting with two Russian lobbyists offering kompromat on Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton at the height of the campaign.
On Friday, Manafort pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy and obstruction, and Andrew Weissmann, a prosecutor working for the special counsel Robert Mueller told a federal judge that Manafort had flipped and would be cooperating "in any and all matter as to which the government deems the cooperation relevant," including "testifying fully, completely" before a grand jury.
Patrick Cotter, a former federal prosecutor who worked with Weissmann in the past, didn't mince words when he reacted to the development.
"Manafort's cooperation is the single most important advancement for the Mueller probe," he said. "He is the single most important witness thus far, because his position was such that he can shed light on the most critical question of what the president knew, and when he knew it."
Mueller is investigating Russia's interference in the 2016 election, whether members of the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow to tilt the race in his favor, and whether Trump sought to obstruct justice after the existence of the investigation became public knowledge last year.
News of Manafort's deal with Mueller came after intense speculation over whether the former Trump campaign chairman would plead guilty or go to trial.
Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, told Politico earlier this week that Manafort was in a joint defense agreement with the president, and that Trump's team was not worried about Manafort flipping.
He told BuzzFeed early Friday, less than two hours before Manafort's plea hearing, that Manafort had not withdrawn from the agreement, in what appeared to be an indication that even if Manafort entered a guilty plea, he would not be cooperating against Trump.
For that reason, Weissmann's announcement that Manafort had flipped likely "blindsided" the president's legal team, Cotter said.
But Elie Honig, a former Justice Department lawyer who prosecuted hundreds of organized crime cases, said it's common in high-profile cases for a cooperator to stay silent about their agreement with the prosecution until the last minute.

At least your gimmicks are funny. I mean logging into conservative coach to act like the mods were editing your own posts and then denying it on your mod account. Pure gold. I love the mind games people play here for a laugh. It's what makes me come back. ;)

I know what you mean. For instance when Earl1972 sounds grumpy, it's me. When he posts happy posts about Mr. Levrone like in that sticky Olympia thread at the top of the forum, it's the real guy using it.

It's like when I used to post on my Kahn N. Singh account, then my shizzo account, just to keep people guessing. Had to sell the Kahn account to BennyBlanco after he was banned.

OMR was always fond of Singh's posts, so that makes sense. That was a great poster, glad to know it wasn't a random. ;-)
Personally I loved it when you started that conehead gimmick and spread it around to make it look like people had dirt on you even though they never even saw your pic. I do it too once in a while on my Straw Man account, though he's threatening to boot me off it since I went a little overboard with the far-right and Trump mania threads lately. :-\

Didn't realize that was you on Straw Man, sorry about that dick pic from my sf1900 account. :D

Nothing to do with Russia or the "Russian Collusion" conspiracy theory.
Case is tax stuff from a decade ago.
-
Awesome, what is the crime?
-
I agree with op: Trump is a great president and an even better man.
-
Libs are frothing at the mouth like they have something on Trump....lol
-
They have found absolutely nothing connecting Trump to Russia you ignorant fuck. The only thing of substance that has emerged as a result of this "investigation" is that the probe itself was based on a faked foreign dossier funded by Clinton and used by the FBI to defraud the FISA courts.
No wonder leftist retards drool over irrelevant tax charges for a lawyer, anything to distract from the truth.
-
It is time to arrest Mueller and everyone at the DNC. Throw them in labor camps. I believe they need to be oppressed. Nobody said nature was going to be fair. It is our way or the high way. Sorry that is how life is. Survival of the fittest. So fuck off the left. We are coming for you. You are going to get an education on oppression since you don't yet know what it really is.

The Dossier was also written in part by Russian intel agents and Kremlin stooges.
Sounds like collusion with the Russians to me...
