None of the charges filed against in Virginia or Washington directly accused Manafort of any improper ties to Russia or of seeking to advance Russian interests during the roughly three months he spent as Trump campaign chairman in 2016. However, investigators have explored whether he was subject to Russian influence during that period.
Today's documents represent bad news for the Podesta Group, the lobbying firm set up in 1988 by brothers John Podesta and Tony Podesta. John Podesta, who left the firm in 1993, went on to become Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, while his brother quit last year. Mr Vogel tweeted: "Emails suggest that the lobbying firm knew all along that their work was for the pro-Russian government of Ukraine, & not a non-profit group, per new info from MUELLER, which calls into question Podesta's basis for not registering under FARA."
Manafort's cooperation will be very helpful in pursuing those prosecutions.
Trump Supporters: "Manafort got nuthin' to do with muh Trump."
Yeah, like Bonnie had nothing to do with Clyde. Like the Sundance Kid had nothing to with Butch Cassidy.
It's funny really, but sad.
What other US president has surrounded himself with so many criminals, one-on-one, first name basis?
Personal attorney, 'fixer' and Trump Organization executive
Campaign Chairman, political consultant and decades long friend
Deputy Campaign Chair, political consultant and senior advisor
National Security Advisor
... and many on the next tier.
Let us not forget the resignations from cabinet level positions over scandal. Trump either has the worst ability to find good honest talent, or he deliberately recruits this type of individual for their unique 'talents', like Ocean's Eleven.

Wow. When you break it down like that, it makes Trump look like such a terrible person (he is).
Unbelievable that some of the hardcore far-right crazy people still support Donald.
Most criminal cases end with plea deals. So they can avoid paying legal fees, get less jail time, and avoid trial
Shhhhhhh, Manafort is actually a Russian Spy and he personally hacked the voting machines in 34 states for the 2016 election!!!!
