>[RR] exonerated Manafort FOR THE SAME CHARGES (8) years ago.
That is a bit dishonest.
Maybe the same charges, but not for the same offense.
All the spending and money laundering seem related to activities related to Browder, /Magntisky, Ukraine.
MORE RECENT than RR 8 years ago.
RR authorized Mueller for anything AFTER his original trial
Look at the dates.
If RR prosecuted him 8 years ago, it would have been for tax years PRIOR to 2010.
