4. "I'm a money launderer, unregistered foreign agent,

I conspired against the US, I'm definitely a traitor, I lied on my app for national security clearance, but I definitely think the US government owes me something."

5. If the government doesn't seize his assests

his attorneys will. Can't think of a more fitting punishment for him then to wind up broke and homeless.

9. The media really needs to get educated and use the correct terms

"...Paul Manafort has sued special counsel Robert Mueller"

NO...he has filed a law suit. Muller has not been sued.

13. Why do you say that Mueller hasn't been sued?

[BoneyardDem]

14. It implies a done deal...Mueller may never get sued, just because the papers were filed

they could also have been clearer and said Mueller is "being" sued, or as I'd mention has had a law suit filed, but he has not yet been sued.

this is the line from the article that I was referring to:

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has sued special counsel Robert Mueller, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and the Department of Justice in U.S. federal court

15. I think you're drawing a distinction without a difference

To sue is a verb whose meaning is "to bring an action against". Indeed, the legal dictionary sitting on my desk defines "sue" as a verb meaning "to make legal claim"

Manafort has brought an action against Mueller; he has made a legal claim against Mueller; he has sued Mueller. All correct. All the same thing.

10. Fkg ridiculous he says yea i committed a crime but you werent supposed to look at that

[Irish_Dem]

11. Would this mean that Mueller could present more evidence against Manafort?

I would assume Mueller is prepared for this kind of legal maneuvering?
