New York Has Prepared Paul Manafort Charges If Trump Pardons Him

[reagansghost]

Mueller's prosecutors have already been observed moving boxes of evidence to State AG's and Federal prosecutors in NY and DC - most likely related to the whole cabal, not just on the bit players

Barr can fire Mueller at will, doesn't matter..........also, prosecutors investigating the Trump Foundation and the Inaugural Committee are not on Mueller's team and not subject to Barr's obstructionism

New York state prosecutors have put together a criminal case against Paul Manafort that they could file quickly if the former chairman of Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign receives a presidential pardon.

New York County District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. is ready to file an array of tax and other charges against Manafort, according to two people familiar with the matter, something seen as an insurance policy should the president exercise his power to free the former aide. Skirting laws that protect defendants from being charged twice for the same offense has been one of Vance’s challenges.

Manafort was convicted of eight felonies, pleaded guilty to two more and is scheduled to be sentenced next month for those federal crimes. Prosecutors working for Special Counsel Robert Mueller have recommended as long as 24 years, a virtual life sentence, for the 69-year-old political consultant.

The president, who has bemoaned Manafort’s treatment at the hands of Mueller, said in November that he has not ruled out a pardon. He has frequently talked of his broad pardon power, possibly extending even to himself, and acted to liberate two political allies previously.

Is he a flight risk?

Is he a flight risk?

definitely but the judges always take the passports and monitor ankle bracelets very closely, ready to interdict at any airport

...today could be quite interesting

Often, in filings like these, prosecutors will pull together a complete retelling of the defendant's crimes, convictions and cooperation. Details about Manafort's cooperation have been especially guarded by prosecutors, since his interviews are a significant part of Mueller's investigation into Russian influence in the 2016 presidential election.

Prosecutors will also likely suggest a range the judge could give him in prison time.

The memo Friday will cover the two charges Manafort pleaded guilty to in September, conspiracy against the US and conspiracy witness tampering, which he committed after he was arrested by trying to reach out to former colleagues.

At the time of his plea, he also admitted to a litany of money laundering and foreign lobbying crimes that encompassed his work for Ukrainian politicians and other clients over several years. Co-conspirators, Manafort said, were his long-time colleagues Rick Gates, who is still cooperating with Mueller, and Konstantin Kilimnik, whom prosecutors say is connected to Russian intelligence and who is at the heart of their inquiry.

The memo will also likely cover his and Kilimnik's alleged contact with potential witnesses in his case after Manafort's October 2017 arrest, and his lies about his interactions with Kilimnik in 2016 and other topics.

Previously, prosecutors said Manafort should face up to 25 years in prison and pay tens of millions of dollars for tax and bank fraud. Friday's sentencing memo will speak to consequences that could pile on top of the those.

Any charges brought by NY in that scenario prove it isn't about what they think he did. If the actions they claim are true, charge him now. Don't base whether or not to file them on someone else's actions. Failing to do so proves exactly what has been said about the left being motivated by hate.

why? they're rolling your daddy up as I post

you didn't know that's exactly what Mueller and his team of 32 prosecutors have been doing for over 2 yrs?

You're still kissing nigger ass as you post, boy. Pucker up.

As for the State charges, failure to do them now instead of waiting to see what happens on the federal level proves NY doesn't believe he did anything wrong. They're trying to Jussie him because they still can't accept Hillary getting her ass kicked.

first of all "Jussie him"???............that makes zero sense ya kook

secondly, the state charges are ancillary to the federal charges .... it's not a case of one or the other

Criminals belong in prison....state or federal this felon has been under investigation since 2010. Don't ya think its about time that someone makes something stick to him? Its sad that the great state of NY or any other state did not have such a sense of (wink, wink) JUSTICE when Blow Job Bill pardoned 450 criminals on his last day in office (known as pardongate) then there was the pardon of Marc Rick...convicted of hedge fund violations and tax evasion (sound familiar?) or when Barry Soetoro issued few pardons (212)....but more Clemencies than any president in US HISTORY to include the early release of the SHIM convicted TRADTOR Manning who was sentenced to life but granted clemency because of their perversion of pretending to be a female (after grate lobby effort from the queer in the US). Really? Clemency for a convicted TRATOR of THE PEOPLE that was sentenced to LIFE simply because they made the mental decision to wear a dress and bra instead of tighty whiteys and genes? But the attempt to finally convict Manafort after a decade of investigation is more important than TREASON?


As I said.....bout time these criminals were given REAL prison sentences and not granted SPECIAL POLITICAL FAVORS.


Truth: The only reason that Manafort was under continued investigation was due to the attempted Coup of one Donald J. Trump.....duly elected President of the United States.


If you don't want to be confronted with THE TRUTH.....don't start lame ass threads presenting some FALSE PREMISE as if its an exclusively based truth for one side or the other. Truth.....Manafort was under investigation long before Trump even considered running for POTUS. And those crimes in NY? Those "real estate" deals in the state of NY? What is their time line and why did these 2 democrat prosecutors not investigate Manafort prior to Trump becoming POTUS? Just say'n…….me thinks there is something POLITICAL GOING ON....LMAO Then again the great BROKE BACK STATE of NY will always be the great brokeback state of NY....left wing political machines rule, JUSTICE TAKES A BACK SEAT.

Mueller knows how to get around the idiots in the Trump White House ...

Yep....an attempted coup is certainly something to endorse. You asswipe communist radicals have been exposed for the world to see. Just keep sticking your foot in your own mouth. If Mueller had all his bases covered.....Trump would have been impeached...not running for re-election. Trump laughs at you twits and your best efforts. Let's see how many seats you lose if you even attempt to impeach a duly elected POTUS on TRUMPED UP CHARGES (pun intended)

Never said it was one or the other. However, if NY thinks charges are valid, they should bring them based on that not and if, then situation. That proves it's because they got their feelings hurt not because they believe the charges should be filed.

What do you not understand about doing something because got your panties in a wad being different from doing it because you think it's the right thing to do?

they already have Grand Jury recommendations for indictment, they're doing the paperwork right now
