He secretly wired $934,350 to a rug store.

laundered more than $18m in foreign money. In total over $75m flowed through offshore accounts per indictment .

 

first charge conspiracy against US.

ie treason.

 

Flynn touted to be next.

 

meanwhile fox focuses on emoji hamburger crisis at Google .

Are you sure?  From what I have been reading, most of the stuff they have on Manafort stem from transactions from several years ago.  It might be Tony Podesta that is the primary target here.  I heard he just resigned from his lobbying company.

Papadopoulos meets a "professor"(an SVR rep) and a female that was supposedly Putin's niece in London .

papa admits he was told Russians had "1000s of emails in April 2016. Sent email to campaign adviser "Re:Messages from Russia"

DNC emails leaked July 2016

podesta emails October 2016

 

arrested at Dulles July 27 2017

 

was seeking a prominent publisher 3 weeks ago on LinkedIn. Lots of espionage tales no doubt. Probably in his early 30s. Only the best!

 

JDGordon claims to be surprised at Papadopoulos's activities.🤔

 

Race to who will flip first Paul or Rick?

 

Only the bigliest scandals!

Hard to say who will flip first. But I'm hearing from sources that there are plenty of other sealed indictments in the pipeline... and the potential persons involved is remarkable.

Yep.

here's a quick take

https://www.lawfareblog.com/robert-muellers-show-strength-quick-and-dirty-analysis

 

manafort and gates have pled not guilty. Prosecutors required $10M appearance bond from Manafort, $5M bond for Gates. Both surrendered passports and under house arrest.

Papadopoulos has also surrendered his passport, and prevented from contacting certain US individuals. Said to have been a proactive cooperator (wore a wire?)

prof Joseph Misfud , a member of Putin's valdai club is probably the "professor." Wonder if Veselnitskya was "Putin's niece"?

But the first page of the grand jury indictment charges that “In order to hide Ukraine payments from United States authorities, from approximately 2006 through at least 2016, Manafort and Gates laundered the money through scores of United States and foreign corporations, partnerships and bank accounts.”

And Bade LLC was not only active at the upper end of that time frame, but played a direct role in the 2016 elections.

“It’s obvious that if they got the campaign money, they had something to do with the campaign,” said Jack Blum, an attorney specializing in international tax and financial secrecy laws.

Manafort, who became the Trump campaign chair in May 2016, received only about $3,000 in payments from the Trump campaign, all reimbursements for travel or meeting-related expenses. He left the campaign that August, after questions emerged about his work in Ukraine.

But Gates continued to work for the RNC through the election, with the last of the payments to Bade coming after Election Day

The payments to Bade LLC were party coordinated expenditures, which are a subset of party spending done in conjunction with candidates.

Monday morning, Paul Manafort and his business partner Rick Gates were indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller, and were ordered to surrender to federal authorities. And after reading the unsealed indictment, we're willing to bet that Manafort was wearing an absolutely expensive suit when he showed up at the FBI field office in Washington, D.C. early this morning. That's because Manafort was charged with siphoning money through overseas shell companies to avoid paying taxes—and then using that money to purchase, among many things, $1,369,655 worth of clothing.

The former Trump campaign chairman's shopping spree is broken down into dozens of purchases made from 2008 to 2014, at a "men's clothing store in New York" and a "clothing store in Beverly Hills, California." That's a whole lot of power suits. How many? Let's do a little math. The indictment has corporations associated with Paul Manafort spending $849,215 at that New York City shop. The Italian tailoring house Kiton, just about the fanciest non-Savile Row suit-maker in the world, charges nearly $8,500 for an off-the-rack number at Neiman Marcus. Manafort would have had to buy 100 similar suits, all from the same New York store.

And those antique rugs.

 

Deripaska will be happy to learn this.

 

don't know why he didn't get suit's made in London ... 

 

Apparently Donnie is most worried about Gates flipping as he's not as wealthy and has a young family.
