[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. "In all more than $75,000,000 flowed" and $18 million was laundered. Gates benefitted by $3 million.

Actual document:

https://www.justice.gov/file/1007271/download

Six pages listing transactions through third parties originating in Cyprus for millions of dollars of purchases in the USA.

For example $934,350 for an antique rug vendor in Alexandria, Virginia.

$849,215 at a men's clothing store in New York City.

The document uses the words "lavish lifestyle".

And some other charges.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. Conspiracy against the US!!

That sounds ominous as far as future indictments are concerned....

[Cracklin Charlie]

9. Yes.

Trump must surely be troubled by this bombshell.

7. Nice, hit them with huge indictments, then offer them a deal to get off if they spill the beans

on Trump.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. The US is going to use Forfeiture against Manafort

Page 29:

"the United States will seek forfeiture as part of any sentence" on conviction under Count Two (Conspiracy to Launder Money).

Then they list two properties in NYC, one in Virginia, and one in New York State. The NYC properties are probably worth more than $3,000,000 each.

10. Page 29?

A 29 page indictment?

Sounds like Three Sticks means business.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. 32 page indictment. Twelve (12) counts. Serious business. Not simply "process violations". . nt

12. Manafort's associate continued to work

with the donnie team right up until the inauguration:

13. Other than guilt by association

I am not sure how much of this will splash onto Trump.

None of the monetary transactions appear to have occurred while Manafort was part of the Trump campaign.

Am I missing something?

[leftynyc]

15. You're missing that it's Gates,

Manafort's associate who was also indicted, worked with the donnie team right up until inauguration:
