Submitting knowingly false or suspect evidence - whether historical or to support probable cause - in a federal court proceeding violates FBI rules and can be a crime under certain circumstances. "To establish probable cause, the affiant must demonstrate a basis for knowledge and belief that the facts are true," the FBI operating manual states.
But with Manafort, the FBI and Mueller's office did not cite the actual ledger - which would require agents to discuss their assessment of the evidence - and instead cited media reports about it. The feds assisted on one of those stories as sources.

The only thing I’m going to do is sit back and watch lol.
What a cluster. This whole thing should have been scuttled before it ever got off the ground. But the Resistance was so determined to ‘stop Trump’ it’s going to take years for the FBI to get its reputation back.
Strong work.

sons of bitches have Manafort dying in jail RIGHT NOW.t its best, the Steele dossier is an "unverified and salacious" political research memo funded by Trump's Democratic rivals. At worst, it may be Russian disinformation worthy of the "garbage" label given it by esteemed reporter Bob Woodward.
The second document, known as the "black cash ledger," remarkably has escaped the same scrutiny, even though its emergence in Ukraine in the summer of 2016 forced Paul Manafort to resign as Trump's campaign chairman and eventually face U.S. indictment.
In search warrant affidavits, the FBI portrayed the ledger as one reason it resurrected a criminal case against Manafort that was dropped in 2014 and needed search warrants in 2017 for bank records to prove he worked for the Russian-backed Party of Regions in Ukraine.
There's just one problem: The FBI's public reliance on the ledger came months after the feds were warned repeatedly that the document couldn't be trusted and likely was a fake, according to documents and more than a dozen interviews with knowledgeable sources.
For example, Ukraine's top anticorruption prosecutor, Nazar Kholodnytsky, told me he warned the U.S. State Department's law enforcement liaison and multiple FBI agents in late summer 2016 that Ukrainian authorities who recovered the ledger believed it likely was a fraud.
"It was not to be considered a document of Manafort. It was not authenticated. And at that time it should not be used in any way to bring accusations against anybody," Kholodnytsky said, recalling what he told FBI agents.
State of NY had him headed to Rikers before DoJ intervened

The decision came after Attorney General William Barr’s top deputy sent a letter to state prosecutors.
Mr. Manafort will now be held in a federal lockup while he faces state charges.

Of course not.
Were criminal acts committed by Mullet or his team?
