Ruffian Dick Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 7 hours ago, dunroaming said: Only the first step but a significant one. The indictment contains 12 counts: conspiracy against the United States, conspiracy to launder money, unregistered agent of a foreign principal, false and misleading FARA statements, false statements, and seven counts of failure to file reports of foreign bank and financial accounts. All be expected but the charge of "conspiracy against the United States" is the one that matters most I would say. In an investigation such as this, the first handful of indictments are usually made, expecting that the suspects will sing like nightingales. Today's secret phrase is "plea bargain".

Credo Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Somehow I think Mueller is think about Maya Angelou and her book "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings." I have a feeling there will be a lot of cages, a lot of birds and a lot of singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks? LOL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Empire Quote Generally, the Dutch do not celebrate their imperial past, and anti-colonial sentiments have prevailed since the 1960s. Subsequently, colonial history is not featured prominently in Dutch schoolbooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FBAR's will bit him a bit, FARA's help tie the case back to the White House. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/10/how-the-manafort-indictment-gave-bite-to-a-toothless-law/544448/ Quote The prosecution of Trump’s former campaign chairman and his associate Rick Gates could be the most significant prosecution under the Foreign Agents Registration Act ever. The indictment of Trump campaign officials Paul Manafort and Rick Gates on Monday is, among many other things, the most significant prosecution of a Foreign Agents Registration Act violation ever. This is what they are going after and Flynn, Trump Jr and Kushner could be next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
