Paul Manafort has struck a deal with Robert Mueller, opening up possibilities for cooperation in the “collusion” investigation. The Washington Examiner reports:
Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort on Friday pleaded guilty to two felony criminal charges lodged against him in Washington, and agreed to “cooperation” with prosecutors as part of his plea agreement.
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson accepted Manafort’s guilty plea in federal court after special counsel Robert Mueller unveiled a superseding indictment against him and a plea agreement in a court document on Friday morning.
When reading from what he called a “cooperation agreement,” Andrew Weismann, a prosecutor on Mueller’s team, said part of the agreement includes “the completion of successful cooperation.”
When asked if he agreed to “fully and truthfully” cooperate with Mueller, Manafort said, “I do.” That cooperation is expected to include interviews, document production and testifying in other proceedings.
This is a groundbreaking moment, that could end up hurting President Trump regardless of the contents of said cooperation.
I envy your piece of work, regards for all the good posts.
If lies will land you in jail, Muller is going to the big house himself! If they do not prosecute Muller/Hildabeast/Huma worm/etc they will get vigilante justice….or they will have to go into hidding.
This is political ?waterboarding” by the democrats to get info. They are the kings of hypocrisy.
Hypocritical DEMORAT SWAMP SCUM,needs to Kill this HUGELY EXPENSIVE WITCH HUNT and go after the DEMORAT CRIMINALS !!!
My President gets things done on behalf of ALL americans!
If Manafort “originally” told Mueller there was no Russian Campaign collusion —– and you can bet Manafort was asked about collusion BEFORE he was tried and found guilty for his other unrelated charges — and THEN, for a promised plea deal, Manafort must come up with the OPPOSITE story regarding Russian Campaign “collusion”, it logically follows that either his “original” story or his “new” story is “THE LIE”. Therefore, Manafort should serve reasonable time for his other charges but ALSO do extra time for lying under oath about “collusion” to Mueller in the first, or second, place. Let’s just get REAL, people — Robert Mueller has pulled this CRAP over and over on other people, squeezing them to lie, blackmailing them with ridiculous lengthy jail terms because they refuse to change their story about “collusion”, and finally offering up a plea deal if the DO — but ruining their lives regardless, all because of Mueller’s hate politics and because he wants to unseat the President of the United States. To allow this is ABSURD. Mueller must be STOPPED.
IF we had a REAL AG, unlike this worm Jeff Sessions, this wouldn’t be happening. Regardless, I believe Trump will place his worthless butt in the unemployment line immediately following the November elections and not a moment too soon!!!
I wish they would have investigated Hillary, Lois Lerner, Huma Abadeen, Valerie Jarrett, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, John Podesta, James Comey, Loretta Lynch, and every other “OVER THE TOP” crook in DC HALF as much as they’ve investigated Trump.
GEE WITH A GUN TO YOUR HEAD AND THREATENING HIS FAMILY WITH LONG TERM PRISON HE IS GOING TO GIVE, “WHAT” TRUE INFORMATION OR MADE UP COLLUSION !!!! THIS ALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN SHUT DOWN WHEN THEY FOUND THIS WAS ALL BROUGHT ABOUT BY ILLEGAL PHONY FISA DOCUMENTS AND LYING TO A FISA JUDGE !!~! TRUMP HAS TURNED THIS COUNTRY AROUND AND I DON’T LIKE HIM PERSONALLY BUT I LIKE HOW HE HAS HANDLED OUR ECONOMY, REGULATIONS, TAXES AND THE MIDDLE CLASS THE FORGOTTEN PEOPLE HERE IN THIS COUNTRY GOTTEN SMALL BUSINESS BACK ON TRACK AND 800,000 MANUFACTURING JOBS BACK AND WAGES INCREASING !!!
