This trial has nothing to do with collusion. You seem confused.

Paying personal bills by international wire transfers, denying to the IRS that he had offshore bank accounts thus evading taxes, etc constitutes tax evasion, etc.

The prosecution is showing items Manafort paid for with unreported income i.e. paying his landscaper with an international wire transfer.

Manafort is a tax cheat, among other things.

I guess you’re OK with that. I’m not. We pay a lot of money in taxes and we abide by the law. I expect others to do the same.

Obviously the prosecution has Manafort dead to rights. But couldn't one Trumpie on the jury cause a mistrial? I wonder how many individual charges there are.

Trump now says "17 Angry Democrats". If you are going to repeat his BS you need to stay up on when he changes things, which is often.

You may be right on that score and I would not argue it however his the judge who revoked his bond has serious misgivings about the evidence. It was rare, and in point of fact, just an attempt by Muellers team to make a show imho.

I give this two weeks max. You can rep me when I get it right,

His case is beyond paying a fine. We’re talking some serious money here and a pattern of purposeful deceit.

His case is not a “mistake”. That’s when you pay the back taxes, penalties, interest and all that.

This trial in not about collusion it's about his lifestyle that he wanted to keep up with since he was going broke from all the expensive homes and things he bought and his Ukrainian money dried up. He was working for Trump for free and we know no one works for free so he sought out bank loans with false income documents and made promises of high level military position to the bank President.
