All of Manafort's "Trumped" up charges were leveled at him during the time he worked for The Podestas on behalf of The Obama Regime, when Obama, Clinton and Joe Biden were trying to rig Ukraine's elections to keep a corrupt regime in place.
Or do you forget Joe Biden's admitted Extortion Attempts at getting the Ukraine prosecutor fired who was investigating Hunter and Joe's and Obama's corrupt dealings in Ukraine?
Wonder why Comey and Mueller gave The Podesta Crime Family immunity? So Manafort could not call them to testify in his defense, which would have lead all the way back to Obama's dealings with Putin and the Ukraine, and The Podesta Board being made up mostly of "Russian Oligarchs".
Manafort was railroaded, because The Podestas knowingly after the fact filed incorrect diplomatic credentials for Manafort, then their corrupt associates in Ukraine helped them seal the deal so that Manafort would take the hit "independently" from The Podestas, and they could try to damage President Trump's credibility by tying so called crimes committed on the behalf of The Obama regime and somehow try to associate that with The Trump Presidency.
Yes, America now has political prisoners rotting in their jails like Julian Assange, Guccifer, and Paul Manafort, and people like Seth Rich are murdered for what they know.
Then there was The Dirty Dossier ordered and paid for by Obama, Clinton, Biden and the DNC and produced by Russian agents with Putin's blessings.
And I could spend an hour going over how The Obama Administration got kickbacks from arranging the Uranium One deal for Putin, knowing full well, Putin was going to use his Rosatom company to purchase Uranium One after the deal went through so he could ship American Uranium to Iran.
And of course, Obama helped Iran pay for the Uranium and Russian Nuclear Scientists when he illegally shipped $150 Billion in pallets of cash to Iran in the dead of night. The Clinton Foundation got a kick back of a $150 Million from Russia, and Obama got a kick back of $64 Million from a Russian owned publishing company for a book he never wrote. McCain, Eric Holder also got kickbacks.
You aren't too smart are you? Why do you think Mueller steered clear of this entire mess while he tried to falsely prosecute an innocent man he knew was innocent.
How about you "useful idiots" do some research once in a while?
