Washington – U.S. President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort has agreed to plead guilty to two criminal counts as part of a deal with Special Counsel Robert Mueller, according to federal court documents released on Friday.

Manafort will plead guilty to one count of conspiracy against the United States and one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice, according to documents filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
Manafort, convicted by a Virginia jury last month on bank and tax fraud charges, was due to go on trial a second time on related charges in Washington.
Jury selection was due to begin on Monday on charges including conspiring to launder money, conspiring to defraud the United States, failing to register as a foreign agent and witness tampering.
Manafort’s decision could be a blow to Trump, who last month praised his former aide for not entering into an agreement with prosecutors, as the president’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen had.
Writing on Twitter on Aug. 22, Trump said, “Unlike Michael Cohen, he refused to ‘break’ – make up stories in order to get a ‘deal. Such respect for a brave man!”
So now this ‘brave man’ broke, this Trumpf campaign manager rasha, pleading guilty to felonies. He got $$ from Pootin oligarchs and Ukrainian fascists, laundered $$ for them, didn’t report being a FOREIGN AGENT, and defrauded US banks for loans. This is the trash Toxic Trumpf brought into Washington, his ‘best people’. Count the days to mid-terms, der bunker ist calling.
Another victim in the Trump profiling conducted by our deep state.
Sad
And so, another Trump connected domino falls. Wonder when the orange blimp will finally crash.
Wow, looks like the tide is turning against the Orange Rasha, even on VIN! Manafart, Papadopolis in jail, Coi’hen on the way. Who’s next bubbala?
Mueller for POTUS. Part of the Deal is: Manafort paying back to the US 45 million. (Mueller spent less than 14 million so far) Art Of The Deal by Mueller. Lets hope he will get many more Rich Whiches. MAGA.
Manafort and his family have suffered enough for his deeds; are we any better? Look at the scandals, whereby Rabbonim are arrested for charity frauds, welfare frauds, financial frauds,, tax cheating, etc. The people on this board should be more empathetic and show some rachmonos to Manafort, as they would to a frum person, in the same situation. When you beat your breasts and say “Al Chet” this coming week, think of some of the uncivil comments expressed on this site.
