Paul Manafort
Pleads Guilty to 2 Conspiracy Charges and agrees to cooperate with Mueller
Manafort's plea deal with Mueller dramatically ramps up the legal and political danger already facing Trump, who is being eyed by the special counsel for possible obstruction of justice.
The deal came three days before the scheduled start of jury selection in U.S. District Court in Washington for Manafort's second trial. It also came several weeks after Trump blasted the practice of "flipping" — prosecutors getting defendants to cooperate against other people by offering them a plea deal — and said the commonly used tactic "almost ought to be illegal."
Prosecutors said the Manafort's own deal, which will require him to forfeit an estimated $46 million in assets, includes a (((17-page))) cooperation agreement with Mueller.
Also Worth Noting:
Manafort, wearing a dark suit, white shirt and purple tie, admitted guilt to revised charges of just two counts of conspiracy, which will effectively consolidate and resolve the two criminal cases against him in Washington and in Virginia federal courts.
Why do they mention the detail of his clothing as he plead guilty? I've heard anons talk about the significance of the tie colors but don't know what it is.
