Robert Mueller May Indict Paul Manafort Again

It looks as though a superseding indictment is in the works:

"The charges against the former Trump campaign boss appear to have been only an opening salvo in a legal barrage on the president’s confidants, informed observers say.

From its inception, two things about special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation were clear: first, the White House’s biggest concern was that Mueller would follow the money; and second, Mueller is following the money.

It’s been seven months since Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein ordered Bob Mueller to take over the FBI’s counterintelligence probe into possible links between the Kremlin and people associated with the Trump campaign. Trump’s lawyers have long said they expected the probe to stay focused and end quickly. Instead, Mueller has assembled a team of prosecutors with expertise in handling financial investigations and white-collar crime, and obtained guilty pleas for crimes that weren’t committed during the election year.

And, most importantly, he’s sent a thinly veiled warning to the White House: No one’s finances are off limits. If 2017 had the president’s inner circle sweating, 2018 could feel like a sauna.

And no one may feel more heat than Paul Manafort. In Washington legal circles, there’s a broad expectation that Mueller will file what’s called a superseding indictment of Manafort and Rick Gates, his erstwhile business partner—and alleged partner in crime. Gates and Manafort both pleaded not guilty when Mueller’s team filed their indictment on Oct. 30. Legal experts say there may be more charges to come.

“I would expect a superseding indictment to come down relatively soon,” said Jonathan Turley, a professor at George Washington University’s law school."

Manafort and company were just like Mobsters, which is why Trump hired him.

You must really like boring stories if you call this a thickening plot.

and there goes another liberal professor trying to push what he would like to see happen. Of course there are all those on the left that can't wait to see something of substance come out of all this: so not much has really happened. Go ahead and keep hoping, heck maybe your dreams will come true, but the word may and will are miles apart.

The longer this dog & pony show goes on, the worse it looks for the Trump haters, the investigation, the MSM and the Democrats.

The "Russia caused Hillary to lose" Meme is dead.
