Regardless of the legal aspects, this Manafort case is horrible optics for Trump

Both of these people - Manafort and Gates - seem like horrible people.

They are definitely trying to create a 'guilt by association' issue for Trump.

That he hired them and kept Gates on looks really bad.

HOWEVER, legally, there is nothing tied to Trump.

They were acquitted on charges by RR

They were interviewed an not charged by the FBI in 2014

In the eyes of the law, there is absolutely no reason why Trump shouldn't have hired them.

Innocent until proven guilty?

It's okay, faggot. Embrace your love of trannys.

Not concern fagging, just being intellectually honest.

This was a brilliant poison pill for them to put on Trump's campaign.

Credit for their evilness.

Positives for Trump -

1. Given they are lying sacks of shit, the public will easily believe they were plants, double-crossing Trump for even more money from someone else.

2. Podesta was doing worse, so the public will hardly be able to excuse him after hanging these two.

3. Educates people on their backgroud… the next question is where the money came from.

Veselnitskaya is /ourgirl

Let me explain -

She's been working against Browder, to expose his corruption and the bullshit Magnitsky story

The only reason she was persona-non-grata is that she's 'inconvenient' to the people trying to go to war against Russia

She's trying to expose the cabal

She's trying to expose the relationship between Browder, Magnitsky, and Hillary re: Gasprom, Rosatom, Uranium One

They USED her

They PICKED her because she was already on their watch list, and would be happy to get a sympathetic ear with Trump

They PICKER her because she already had a relationship with Fusion GPS, who is playing both sides

I don't think she realized what was going on.

>the MSM gets to tap into a 160MM slush fund to fight the anti-russian narrative that they created?

Doesn't the Executive Branch have the authority to pick how/where the money is actually spent?

Doesn't Trump have the ability to control that?

Congress only authorizes, they can't spend directly.

>Preet Bahara okayed her visa to enter the country under the orders of VJ so she could try to set up Trump…she wasn't supposed to be in the country

Understood.

Note that she wanted to come into the country for an entirely different reason, the premiere of the Magnitsky film and a Conressional hearing.

This was a convenient add-on.

We don't know if she realized how her visa finally got approved.
