We know Rod Rosenstein of the FBI investigated Manafort back in 2014 & cleared him of any wrongdoing on these same charges.
Manafort intends to call RR as his first witness. How will RR explain diving into his finances, banking, lobbying, ties to Ukraine & finding nothing to prosecute him on?
The Defense, also alleges that Manafort told the FBI & DOJ attorneys all about his Cyprus bank accounts, his finances, etc.
IF, and it's just an assertion at this point, but IF it's proven, then the FBI didn't charge him with tax evasion, bank fraud or FARA violations. They didn't even tell him to file with FARA and they trusted him enough to use him as an undercover informant.
Even if this is true, the FBI are not tax advisors, and the absence of charges does not mean he didn't do anything wrong, they just decided to not charge him.
Lol like that poster is going to read the indictment. It’s easier to pretend to be ignorant than educate yourself and come up with a good counter-argument.
If he's guilty, put him in jail. BTW, what is Manafort guilty of besides being Trump’s campaign manager? I get it, he's been tried and convicted in the media and many of you have him lined up for the firing squad. But if a Manafort conviction is such a sure thing, why did Mueller hand him off? In case you folks haven't noticed, the prosecution is doing a ****-poor job. The one thing they have going for them is deep blue Alexandria, land of the Trump haters.
Maybe you would get more information on Manafort's history if you did the research. You obviously don't want to do that for one reason or another.

Lol...can't say, right? See that's the problem. Manafort is a slimy little bugger, no doubt about it, and it's easy to believe all his bad press. But...is he guilty as charged?
Read it already tiger. Has he been convicted? Has the prosecution proven their case?
Gee, you would think that there is some sort of process for this to take place, loke a trial or something, hrmm. BUT, someone is postulating that it's already done, and will be thrown out!

Based on the evidence I’ve heard so far? Yes.
And that has nothing to do with him being in Alexandria. When your accountant testified that he was intentionally mislead about the existence of tens of millions of dollars in offshore accounts, being in or out of Virginia isn’t going to make all that much of a difference.

Is he guilty? Well how the hell does that get determined until all the evidence is presented? But my bet would be on yes.
He sure is. In court they showed 5 years of tax returns where the box was checked off, no overseas income, and they showed an e-mail from the bookkeeper asking Manafort if he had any overseas income, and he said no. It's almost a lock that he'll be convicted of tax evasion, among other things.
