Manafort’s lawyers argued the charges are outside of Mueller’s mandate, which includes an obligation to investigate “any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation” of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
Justice Department lawyer Michael Dreeben told U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson that Manafort “had long-standing ties to Russia-backed politicians.”
“Did they provide back channels to Russia?” Dreeben asked. “Investigators will naturally look at those things.”
I remember an old abbot and Costello skit where abbot is fishing. He catches his first fish and then uses it for bait to catch a bigger fish. It goes on until he hooks the bigly fish. Trumps will be the last fish to be hooked. In fact he will swallow the bait.
