There is NO way this wouldn't be in the case if they were pursuing Manafort/Trump. It's in the center of all of it!
Two options - 1) The transaction was purely fictional from the start, designed as more muh Russia bullshit, 2) It was a real transaction to payoff Manafort before the election, but was unwound and relabeled AFTER the election to CYA.
In court filings, The Federal Savings Bank, the $341 million-asset institution where Calk serves as CEO, has been portrayed as a victim of Manafortโs alleged lies.
But special prosecutor Robert Mueller is reportedly investigating whether Calk agreed to make the loans in exchange for the promise of a job within the Trump administration. The bank denies that such a quid pro quo was ever proposed. Calk was never offered a White House post, though The Wall Street Journal has reported that he did seek to be named Army secretary.
