Bruce Abramski called, he told me that if the feds want someone in prison it will be for taxes.
Wasn't he the straw purchaser guy? A bit of a derail, but did he also have tax issues?

So are we going to put the Manafort stuff in this thread, or start a new one?
Just read the indictment. IMNSHO, Manafort is toast for the money laundering.
Hard to really tell if there was any Russia! Russia! Russia! inappropriateness, though. Mostly just looks like personal greed to me.

What's the law regarding money laundering? If Hillary paid Mark Elias "legal fees" that really was for him to hire fusion GPS to create trump dossier, does that count? It was not reported to FEC as what it was, it was hidden through deceit and a lawyer intermediary
Or maybe we'll just pretend it's not happening... lol
That artifice is rocket science compared to Manafort's efforts.

What I am still unclear on is how many Trump fundraisers occurred at the various properties he bought with the laundered funds. And who was present for them.https://lawnewz.com/high-profile/mu...ally-really-hurt-their-case-against-manafort/

Not at all, these days they shoot at each other regularly. Back in the days of the USSR we could call all of them Russians, today not so much.

As has been explained to INGO before, money is fungible. If Manafort can spend $3M of Ukrainian secret money for a house, that's $3M extra that he has in his own pocket to pay for Trump stuff.
And how that money got into the offshore slush funds appears - right now - to be a bit of a black box. That wasn't immediately obvious to me in the indictment.
...but the party he was lobbying for was a pro-Russian Ukranian party.
