Manafort Trial Thread

[evillawyer]

Scheduled to start this Wednesday. Could be a flurry of activity (flips, pardons, etc). Thought I'd go ahead and start a separate thread.

Risks pile up for Trump as Manafort heads to trial

 

[McDad]

Is there an unbiased Cliff's notes of who he is and what got Manafort to this point?

I know, too many facts and evidence in play. Not enough tin-foil hats to draw your interest.

Did you say something? Ahh ok, yawwwwwnnn 😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴

Manafort will be seeking to delay the trial for several months. Don't know if the government is opposing that request or not. If they are not opposing it, I think it would mean he's negotiating a cooperation agreement.

Blow? It would come out in trial anyway and changes nothing If it actually goes to trial. Right now Manafort is trying to delay the trial. He likes prison life.

Want to bet it doesn't?

Yep, I agree. Will flip and enter cooperation agreement before trial starts. From what I've read, he's dead to rights on the crimes charged.

They might not want or need him now though. Keep an eye on the lawyer cooperation agreements.

Unlikely Trump knew about that. Sounds like Manafort was trading on his connections.

What's new?

Three of those granted immunity are Manafort's accountants; the other two are from the bank that Manafort tried the quid pro quo with for the $16 million loan.
