U.S. investigators are looking into money laundering allegations made against Paul Manafort, and apparently special counsel Robert Mueller intends on leveraging that probe to extract information pertaining to the Trump campaign’s possible collusion with Russia during the election. Two sources with knowledge of the investigations told Reuters that Mueller hopes to compel Manafort to cooperate with the larger probe surrounding Russia’s election inference.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that Mueller’s team has been carefully reviewing Manafort’s financial and real estate records in New York and its connections to his work in Ukrainian politics.

Between 2006 and 2013, Manafort purchased three homes in New York without initially taking out a mortgage. He later did take out loans against those properties. Real estate and law enforcement experts say some of these transactions fit a pattern used in money laundering. WNYC reported.

Sources did not confirm to Reuters whether Mueller had unsurfaced any evidence of money laundering, but did acknowledge that this information would be vital to flipping President Trump’s former campaign manager.

1. Odd, how he was brought into the camp, without meeting

DT. Connections. He looks so prissy. Then, he was so quickly outed as to his Russian connections and business deals, & he needed to lower his profile. Big mistake to take a high profile job, when you have many illicit entanglements.

2. I think he is already flipped.

Maybe Flynn to.

Now if little Jeff would flip we have it.

Who knows maybe Sean.
