Manafort pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy against the US and one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice due to attempts to tamper with witnesses, according to a court filing Friday.
The question I want answered is why it's taking ages to charge Roger Stone when it's so obvious he's in trouble. Roger Stone says Mueller has not even requested a meeting.
Prepare for Trump to start attacking Manafort![]()
"I barely knew him. Was like half a son to me"Can't wait for him to throw his kids under the bus. I never liked Don Jr. He's weak. SAD.

CBS said:Donald Trump offered New Jersey Governor Chris Christie the job of vice president, sources confirm to CBS News. Days before the Republican National Convention, however, Trump reneged on the deal after others in his inner circle convinced him otherwise.
First reported by the New York Post, an indecisive Trump had initially decided on Christie after the New Jersey governor made his final case to Trump on July 12.
Christie, the first former presidential candidate to get behind Trump after a poor showing in the New Hampshire primary, had assumed a high profile role on the campaign prior to the Convention – reaching out to donors and potential high profile supporters.
Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager at the time, allegedly had another idea in mind.
Manafort had arranged for Trump to meet with his first choice for the job on July 13: Indiana Governor Mike Pence. Afterwards, the plans was for Trump and Pence to then fly back to New York together and a formal announcement would be made, a campaign source said of Manafort’s thinking.
What had previously been reported as a “lucky break” by the New York Times was actually a swift political maneuver devised by the now fired campaign manager. Set on changing Trump’s mind, he concocted a story that Trump’s plane had mechanical problems, forcing the soon-to-be Republican nominee to stay the night in Indianapolis for breakfast with the Pence family on Wednesday morning.
Swayed by Pence’s aggressive pitch, Trump agreed to ditch Christie and make Pence his VP the following day, according to a source.
However, another source with direct knowledge of the situation contends that it was Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and a key adviser, who made the final moves to seal Pence’s fate and oust Christie.
“It all goes back to his dad being prosecuted by Christie,” the source told CBS News.
As U.S. Attorney, Christie sent Kushner’s father to prison in 2009. Charles Kushner spent 14 months in prison for witness tampering, illegal campaign donations and tax evasion.
Kushner arranged for a plane to bring Pence to New York on the Thursday in question.
“Pence showing up caught Trump off guard and pretty much boxed in the decision,” the source adds.

It seems Mr. Pence is beholden to Manafort & Kushner for his job. Hmmm, the plot thickens.
Something’s happening.

Ok, now he’s completely lost the plot. This is going to kick him hard in the face.
"Reasons of transparency" my arse. He's picked a small number of pages to be declassified without the context that the classified pages will have.
And how the hell is all this not interfering in an ongoing investigation?
It won't.I don't know the ins and outs too well. How would this come back at him?
Another attempt to shift the narrative back to Strock/Page etc. He's desperate.
For a few days till this admin has another cock up.It'll work.
The only Republicans that actually support Trump at this stage are the Fox News watching, poorly educated, disenfranchised old white folks that long for better days that never f*cking existed for everyone.
Basically, every single smart Republican I've met is ashamed, disgusted - they have the same reactions we do. The only Republicans that actually support Trump at this stage are the Fox News watching, poorly educated, disenfranchised old white folks that long for better days that never f*cking existed for everyone. And they're getting older, sicker and less relevant.
From all I've seen of my generation, these are the last death throes of a bloated corpse*.
I don't know the ins and outs too well. How would this come back at him?
It won't.
Here it is in full. Dunno how long for...
If true, they are a bunch of crooks. Mind blowingly corrupt.
