Mueller Resorts to Extortion?

A disturbing new report by Reuters unveils Robert Muellers growing sense of desperation. It also illustrates how unscrupulous, and just how morally bankrupt the recently appointed "special counsel" truely is. Muellers ever expanding witch hunt has strayed well beyond its intended scope, and purpose. Recently Mueller began digging into financial transactions that occured a decade before the 2016 elections. Many have questioned Muellers motives, as these transactions are far removed from the 2016 campaign, and well beyond the statute of limitations. BLACKMAIL. Mueller is desperately tryind to coerce damaging testimony out of Paul Manafort. Isn't time for Mueller to go? Can anyone still doubt Muellers nefarious intentions? Mueller is a disgrace. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia-manafort-idUSKBN1A70F8 Ironically Preet Bharara is a key figure in the scheme as well. Preet has launched many high profile witch hunts himself. Unfortunately, the damage is done before the cases are tossed.

 

I don't think there was any doubt from the beginning. It's fairly obvious that there was never anything to the Russia thing. A special prosecutor is just another prop in this theater of the absurd. Right away Mueller started to stock his team with liberal loons a glaring red flag. Then the numerous "leaks" a very Alinsky like tactic also pretty lame. Now they're piling on in an attempt to force Trump to react, to make a Nixon like move. How much is this costing the taxpayer? When this all fails and it will President Trump should quietly investigate this entire scam and bring all of the players to justice.

 

Here's an interesting article on Preet, and his most recently overturned conviction. http://nypost.com/2017/07/13/preet-bhararas-victories-keep-melting-away/

 

Blackmail!!
Tell you what - you can look at my finances since I was born and I wouldn't be worried about blackmail.
If Trump and/or Manafort are worried, it's because they are GUILTY.

 

Mueller needs to be arrested for extortion. Let Mueller have his personal finances disected and put on public display. Mueller should be forced to be put on the receiving end of a malicious prosecution for a change. It'll give him a chance to gain some perspective.

Paul Manafort's Mysterious Millions
New reports question whether transactions by the former Trump campaign chair, who has been tied to Russia, indicate possible money laundering.

  Politics & Policy Daily, a roundup of ideas and events in American politics.

Washington attracts a certain type of person who loves attention—the thrill of the crowd, the glow of the camera. But it also attracts the kind of person who loves to operate in the shadows: the master of arcane rules, the backroom operator. When the second category of person ends up with the attention, things can get uncomfortable.

Take Paul Manafort, the former Trump campaign chairman whose ties to the Kremlin have come under new scrutiny as the Trump administration’s own ties do the same. Last week, the AP reported on alleged work Manafort did to burnish Vladimir Putin’s image abroad. As my colleague Julia Ioffe wrote, such work may appear distasteful to some, but it’s more often than not totally legal.

But now that Manafort is under the microscope, several reports are pointing to actions that might be more questionable. The first comes from WNYC, the New York public-radio station, which reported on three cases unearthed by 377union.com in which Manafort purchased properties in the city with no mortgages:

Manafort’s New York City transactions follow a pattern: Using shell companies, he purchased the homes in all-cash deals, then transferred the properties into his own name for no money and then took out hefty mortgages against them, according to property records.

I've no doubt leftists wholly support Muellers efforts regardless of his tactics, or how many laws he breaks in order to achieve his goals. Mueller has twice before surveilled, and financially investigated Manafort. Mueller has some kind of score he's trying to settle with Manafort. If Manafort entered into illicit business deals that's his problem. If Mueller is inappropriately investigating them, solely to be used as leverage in an extortion scheme, that's the nations problem. Mueller can't bring charges against Manafort for hid decade old transactions, but he may devastate him financially by destroying his reputation. Mueller isn't an invesigative reporter.

 

Yeah you sure can't knock anything that trustworty rag The Atlantic has to say. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!

5 Things You Need to Know About Paul Manafort

Promoting the World's Dictators

In 1980. Manafort co-founded Black, Manafort, Stone and Kelly (BMSK), a powerhouse beltway lobbying firm alongside partners Stone, a longtime Trump confidante, and Charles Black, a leading strategist in the John Kasich campaign. One of its most lucrative clients was Jonas Savimbi, leader of UNITA, the pro-Western rebel army fighting the Communist government in Angola. Manafort helped make Savimbi a heroic figure among conservative Washington think-tanks, and aided him in securing hundreds of millions of dollars in aid from the Reagan and Bush Administrations, money that never brought victory.

In the mid-1980s, the regime of Ferdinand Marcos, the dictator of the Philippines, paid BMSK $950,000 a year to lobby for funding, as well as polish his blackened reputation among lawmakers, with Manafort serving as his chief advocate. Another top client was Mobutu Seko of Zaire, renowned as the quintessential corrupt African dictator. Manafort even sought to recruit Siad Barre, the strongman of Somalia. In her book "Choosing the Hero," Riva Levinson recalls that Manafort asked her assistance in luring Barre. When she objected on ethical grounds, the boss explained: "We all know he's a bad guy, but he's our bad guy!"

Levinson goes on to say that a running joke at BMSK held that its work was "like playing one big game of Stratego: building armies and scheming to take over the world. That is exactly what it feels like working with Manafort. In fact, at times, that's exactly what is going on." The plotting inside Trump Tower might reveal similar ambitions.

One of his most unusual assignments came in the heart of Old Europe. In 1995, Manafort was paid $90,000 by a Lebanese-born arms merchant to advise veteran finance official Edouard Balladur in what became an unsuccessful bid for the presidency of France. An investigation revealed that those funds were illegally funneled from the kickbacks and commissions collected from the sale of French submarines to Pakistan. What became known as the Karachi affair became an énorme scandale in France, damaging the reputations of the politicians involved, though they escaped prosecution.

What is your evidence it's a witch hunt?

Explain in detail hoew that is so?

Damaging testimony in the name of justice you mean?

Why? Because the truth is being exposed daily about Trump and all the rest of the criminals?

Until you produce evidence of that, you aren't saying anything that is true. They're just lies.

If chasing down justice and the truth is nefarious, I agree.

Until you confirm with evidence that they are witch hunts, they are nothing more than lies.

 

Blackmail only works if Manafort has something to hide from the authorities!

SC Mueller IS the authorities!

So yet another puerile extremist alt right meme crashes and burns on take off because of a lack of knowledge of what they are talking about!

 

There isn't even a plausible collusion scenario involving financial transactions, let alone 12+ year old ones. What are they looking for? Trump paying Putin to hack the DNC - that's absurd.... Putin paying Trump for what? To run, to benefit from his hacking? that's equally absurd. Trump having business interests in Russia? that's perfectly legal...

This branching into business deals does not fit into the "collusion narrative", it fits perfectly into the witch hunt and fishing expedition one.

 

Your evidence is?

Attacking Mueller doesn't magically make Trump's criminal actions go away. Nice try, but that's never going to fly. Our intelligence and justice have way too much on Trump to afford you the luxury of spinning it all on Mueller. You're way too late for that show.

 

They are with heads exploding onto Mueller, now that they have mountains of criminal dirt on Trump and his criminal gang. They are desperate at this point.

I and others have said it before. When you follow the money, you unmask all the lies and you expose the true nature of just how criminal this election was and how many illegal dealings the Trump team has going on.

Once you find out all of that, then it will explain all of Trump's firings as well.

It's all connected, and Mueller has probably connected an awful lot of it now. Follow the money, and that is the truth that will set this all free.

Too bad the Right doesn't play for the same team of Truth, justice, and the Constitution of which this country was founded.

 

It's called Following the Money. And Mueller's investigation is a Principle Investment.

Mueller isn't the victim here. There is obviously something Trump is trying to hide, and that desperation can be found in Trump's comments. Anyone who can read body language can pick up bad vibrations of Trump's. Face it, the guys a crock. He's $100,000's in debt, you've got Paul Manafort who's millions in debt to oligarchs, Deutsche Bank is now coming after Trump, its not going to be pretty.

Face it, your boy is guilty.

 

Collusion with financial transactions is not necessary to be culpable in this crime.

Money laundering is not. Favors for loans or money laundering can be part of the scheme? Payback? Lifting sanctions of course. Oil deals in the Kara sea can certainly be part of the agreements?

It most certainly is the very best way to find out why they colluded. follow the money, and that will take you where you need to go if you are law enforcement. Money is so powerful, folks are willing to risk it all for it.

 

They DONT CARE HOW GUILTY he is. They just wanted him to RUIN liberals forever. Institute protections of his power, and enshrine right wingism.

Stop the browning of America politically.

 

Both Trump and Clinton were toxic candidates. If Clinton had been elected we would have the same type of constant investigations into conduct.

We really need a viable third party and we need to take a second look at the nomination process.

 

Did you get that diatribe DIRECTLY from the White House? Because that is exactly the garbage Trump is putting out in his desperate campaign to stop the investigation in Trump and his campaign.

 

Manafort has a well-earned reputation as a slime-for-hire.
This will only enhance that.

 

MONEY LAUNDERING is a crime.
THAT is what they'll find.

 

Trump needs to appoint like 15 more special prosecutors to investigate hillary, nancy pelosi, harry reid, barbara boxer, diane finestein, barack obama, john mccain, lindsay graham, susan rice, lorreta lynch, valerie jarret, maxine waters and many others

 

Those are not the issues at hand.

Try to focus.

 

Lol no
Trump should have them all anally probed for nefarious activities. He wants to clean out the swamp, he should send in the investigators.
I wanna see all those crooks face justice.

Look on the bright side, the media would love it.
