Manafort is a scumbag

What Manafort was charged with
The charges against Manafort at the trial broke down as follows:

False income tax returns (five counts): Manafort did not report any of the $30 million of his Ukrainian payments that he transferred into the US on his income tax returns, or pay taxes on it. He also falsely said, on those tax returns, that he had no authority over any financial accounts in foreign countries. He faced one count for each tax year from 2010 to 2014.
Failure to report foreign bank or financial assets (four counts): Manafort also didn’t report any of his offshore accounts to the Treasury Department by filing what’s known as an FBAR form — a legally required disclosure. He faced one count for each year from 2011 to 2014.
Bank fraud or bank fraud conspiracy (nine counts): These charges related to Manafort’s attempts to get loans from several US banks between 2015 and January 2017. Prosecutors alleged that he made false statements such as lying about his company’s profits, existing loans on his properties, and other matters — and that he eventually secured more than $20 million in loans.
The jury concluded that Manafort was guilty on all five tax counts, one FBAR count, and two bank fraud counts. They deadlocked on the other three FBAR counts and the other seven bank fraud or bank fraud conspiracy counts.

What’s next for Manafort — and what this means for the Mueller investigation
First off, Manafort will be sentenced for his eight-count conviction in Virginia. Mueller’s team will also have to decide whether to charge him again on the other 10 counts.

There are also the DC charges against Manafort, which are being brought against him separately for jurisdictional reasons. These charges relate to his foreign lobbying work as well as alleged witness tampering earlier this year. This trial will begin on September 17 — which will bring Manafort back to the courtroom yet again.

The jury is still out on those other 10 crimes and whatever else. Would be lulz if Trump commuted/pardon'd.

Just some factual reporting, no opinion here! Other than that this is potentially lulzworthy

TLDR? Don't defraud the world for 30mill bonzai bucks? Seems kinda small ish. In the grand scheme of things, but it should net a bit of friendship from the working class towards the status quo...

more to cum, stay tuned

I still remember the MSM clamoring about how Manafort lent legitimacy to the Trump campaign as a seasoned D.C. Insider.

Unfortunately for Manafort -- the Russia investigation turned out to be a big nothingburger so now they are doing a show trail about his tax evasion to look like this all wasn't a complete waste of time and resources.

It's not a nothingburger yet. lol. That totally depends on a bunch of things. Needless to say I "should" be "outraged" at $30mil considering i'm sitting nicely at negative 14K (or something, may be less). Debters prison HO!!!!

I don't like scummy people to talk to Russian criminals and oligarchs (I don't mind the average strugglying lowly Russian citizen), cow-toe before them, and pander to people like Putin. And play flippantly with human lives in Ukraine, Crimea, Mercs getting crisyp merced in Syria... and killing US people etc... so thats where my "outrage" is. And yes b4 "whatabout Hillary Obama" lol... this isn't about Hillary anymore. These are the current people we are dealing with and I like them less than the evil stuff she/he/they did.

The great thing about this country is we can still chose what to lose our shit over. I chose our current most poignant and prevelant set of despotic oligarchial swampLORDS.
