Apparently the indictment - if one reads it - is but a tip of the iceberg. Memo to TV pundits attempting to claim Manafort indictment "has nothing to do with Trump campaign":
Read the charges. Actually read them. Every word. Every sentence. Pay attention to the punctuation. Read about the "lavish lifestyle." The tax fraud...
And then read between the Cypriot lines. Unbelievable.
Mueller has the Goods on the Trump Train. Dates. Figures. Account numbers. Email addresses. Airbnb schemes. Deletes, too.
Manafort served Yanukovych. And who did Yanukovych serve? Putin.
Mafia. Russian mob. How did Ivanka buddy Dasha Zhukova's Dad, a London resident since 1993, make money? Selling weapons into bloody Yugoslavia, via Ukraine.
These are Old Soviet Mobster Folks. And Trump's been buddy-buddy, palsy-walsy with them for ages....
And the FBI knows all about it. Every single thing...
Tony Podesta, John Podesta’s brother, stepped down as the head of a lobbying firm that is now under investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller.
The Podesta Group failed to disclose its ties to a lobbying effort organised by Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, that was backed by the pro-Russia Ukrainian party of ousted President Viktor Yanukovych.
John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s former campaign chairman, testified in the House Russia probe, but is unaffiliated with the Podesta Group.

I think he could technically. But he would face trenemdous backlash and open himself up to obstruction of justice charges....an impeachable offense. Trump being Trump, he’ll probably pardon them all and take his chances.
Last time I checked, Manafort was not part of the current administration. He was fired from the campaign after it was disclosed he was under investigation.
not sure what your point is. Manafort was the campaign leader for 4 months. not 4 mins not 4 seconds. 4 months long Manafort was the campaign manager for Trump and while he may have RESIGNED (not fired) he left his cut out in place. or did you not get the memo on Gates.....

And any lawyers here of "friends" of attorneys who know what the legality of the public having a Go Fund Me for government employee costs or and wages...
I'm pretty sure you can get away with it when you call your Go Fund Me a re-election campaign fund instead, even when you file your papers the day you are inaugurated so you can try to get every penny you can out of the sycophant suckers for the longest possible time.
