...this seems 'Political', and timely..Paul Manafort

The Washington Post and the New York Times are reporting that Paul Manafort, out of prison since he was pardoned by Don Trump at the close of his presidency......is likely to find a home at the RNC.

To wit:


"Manafort in Talks to Return for the Republican National Convention"
"Paul Manafort, who served as a top adviser to Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, was pardoned by Mr. Trump after being convicted of tax and bank fraud."


Paul Manafort is surrounded by men in suits and ties in a hallway.

This is startin' to have the vibe of the Blues Bros, Dan Akroyd and John Belushi putting-the-band-back-together' for their "Mission From God" .

Let's throw in Roger Stone, Rudi Guiliani, Melissa Carrone, Senator Katy Britt, and where is Jeff Sessions?
Can Stormy Daniels and the Playboy model and the Enquirer guy be far behind? And what about Michael Cohen? (I think Mike Pence is likely already committed?)
To flesh out the bench, why not throw in everybody who was pardoned or commuted by the fired ex-president....including those Medicare fraudster multi-millionaires?

Once a team, always a team. MAGA!!

The National Inquirer has been sold... New owner.
 
Not at all. Just remember, the guy is now a known traitor and seditionist that deals in foreign money corruption involving Republicans.

Since he has been pardoned, there is no double jeopardy protections for him if he gets caught doing the samething again, and next time there won't be a friendly President to pardon him again.

Tread lightly Pauly boy, the FBI and DOJ will be watching you like a hawk. Every single trip you make outside of the country, and every single phone call you make outside of the country, will be under scrutiny.
There wouldn't be double jeopardy anyway. Double jeopardy protection from being put on trial again for the exact same charge. It doesn't protect you from being charged with the same crime again if you commit it again.

There are too many people who watch the movie double jeopardy and think that's actually how it works.

If you shoot a Guy and they fake their death.And you get Is convicted of murder, Double jeopardy doesn't protect you from getting put on trial again if you hunt them down and kill them after you get out. It only protects you from being tried again for the original crime.But each criminal act is a separate crime.
