Donald Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort's cooperation deal with Robert Mueller's special counsel investigation will likely lead to more charges, according to former U.S. attorney Preet Bharara.

"Given how late in the game Mueller was prepared to bargain, more people will almost certainly be charged based on Manafort info," Bharara tweeted on Friday. Bharara previously served as a U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York from 2009 to 2017. He was fired by Trump just three months after he entered the Oval Office.

Bharara also said that Mueller probably already has all of Manafort's information, stating that typically prosecutors "get the information before you offer the agreement."

@PreetBharara
Given how late in the game Mueller was prepared to bargain, more people will almost certainly be charged based on Manafort info.



Manafort, Trump's former top confidant, pleaded guilty to several federal crimes in a D.C. federal court on Friday. The charges include conspiring to defraud the United States and conspiring to obstruct justice due to witness tampering. The confessions of guilt come after Manafort had proclaimed his innocence for months.


In August, Manafort was found guilty by a grand jury on eight counts of bank and tax fraud charges. The 69-year-old faces a prison sentence of almost 20 years, though his sentencing has now been placed on hold.

Manafort is the first person to be brought to trial as a result of Mueller's special counsel investigation into Russian election meddling.

Trump at the time had expressed his sympathy for his former campaign chairman, tweeting that he felt "very badly for Paul Manafort and his wonderful family." After the guilty verdict was reached Trump told reporters that Manafort was a "brave man."

Manafort
Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort departs from U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. on February 28. Manafort's recent cooperation deal with Robert Mueller will likely lead to more charges, former U.S. attorney Preet Bharara said.


But now the White House is on the defensive. Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that Manafort's cooperation deal "had absolutely nothing to do with the President or his victorious 2016 Presidential campaign. It is totally unrelated."

Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani also made a similar statement. "Once again an investigation has concluded with a plea having nothing to do with President Trump or the Trump campaign. The reason: the President did nothing wrong," Giuliani said.

The president has pressured Mueller to end the investigation before the midterm elections this November.

But Bharara says that the probe is unlikely to end anytime soon, calling it a "“slow and steady juggernaut."

I would love to see Manafort pardoned before the election. That might get a few voters who lean toward Republican to think about what is going on inside Trump’s head. They might conclude that the pardon is more about saving Trump than about saving Manafort.

I also would love Trump to fire Robert Mueller, Rod Rosenstein, and Jeff Sessions before the election. That would get a few voters thinking it is not about saving money wasted on a witch hunt, but about Trump. I am pretty sure Trump is smart enough to wait until after the election. Or even smarter to not do it ever and continue to warm the seat in the Oval office. It is the greatest job he has had, and the easiest. No matter what mistakes he makes, he cannot go bankrupt. And he can always pardon himself.

Didn't miss it SGG, its in the countdown thread. Before Mueller would make this deal Manafort would have had to tell him what he had to offer. Could be a bomb shell.

A pardon is useless. If Trump did it the states where the crimes were committed would file charges. Trump can't touch that. He can only pardon them from Federal prosecution. Manaforts lawyers would fight that but the states would win out.

Hey SGG - no, I definitely didn't miss it! I'm just at that point where I feel like MOST of us, certainly the people I respect here and elsewhere, know what's happened. We know he's freaking guilty as sh*t, and as we're seeing, the people he's surrounded himself with are mostly criminals. So for me now, it's just waiting to see how it plays out. It doesn't matter what anyone here or on Fux, or CNN say anymore - I feel like most of us know where this needs to go, just "will it?" So I'm watching but I'm sitting back mostly waiting for the day they pull his fat arse and fake wife out of the WH so I can put up my new American flag I have stashed (never flown one on my house before). I imagine I will feel more patriotic on that day than at any other time. I will definitely post on that day!

I sometimes read from the bottom up, and when I got to this little gem I thought for a moment that someone was referring to Bill and Hillary, the biggest WH/State crime family so far.

But be that as it may... Mueller has "turned" a lot of people ... Flynn, Papadopoulus, Gates ... https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/2/20/17031772/mueller-ind

and so far, nothing much has resulted. I wouldn't be surprised if Manafort had an equally paltry amount of information about the so-called "Russian collusion" either, probably because there wasn't any.

just off the top of my search: mueller failures
Quote:

Mueller also is remembered for a headline-grabbing case that ended in failure.

In 1979, the government lodged then-novel racketeering charges against 33 members of the Hells Angels motorcycle club. The indictments alleged bombings and murders as well as the manufacture and sale of illegal drugs. The defendants and their supporters were so feared that bulletproof glass was installed in court to shield the judge.

The first trial, of 18 defendants, ended with only five convictions. All were overturned on appeal.

Mueller, who led the U.S. attorney’s special prosecutions unit, then took over the case. He dropped many of the charges, including those against Ralph “Sonny” Barger, leader of the club’s Oakland chapter, whose charismatic testimony had dominated the first trial.

Mueller led a team of four prosecutors in court when the second trial, with 11 defendants, began in October 1980. But after four months, the jury said it was deadlocked, and the judge declared a mistrial. Mueller decided not to ask for a retrial.

Richard B. Mazer, a defense lawyer at both trials, said the government was unable to prove the Hells Angels was a racketeering enterprise. Key prosecution witnesses, he said, seemed unreliable — especially those granted immunity to testify despite having committed violent crimes themselves.

Quote:

When Comey and Mueller Bungled the Anthrax Case
Comey and Mueller badly bungled the biggest case they ever handled. They botched the investigation of the 2001 anthrax letter attacks that took five lives and infected 17 other people, shut down the U.S. Capitol and Washington’s mail system, solidified the Bush administration’s antipathy for Iraq, and eventually, when the facts finally came out, made the FBI look feckless, incompetent, and easily manipulated by outside political pressure.

Quote:

Current media applause omits the fact that former FBI Director Mueller was the top official in charge of the Anthrax terror fiasco investigation into the 2001 murders, which targeted an innocent man (Steven Hatfill) whose lawsuit eventually forced the FBI to pay $5 million in compensation.
Quote:

Long before he became FBI Director, serious questions existed about Mueller’s role as Acting U.S. Attorney in Boston in effectively enabling decades of corruption and covering up of the FBI’s illicit deals with mobster Whitey Bulger and other “top echelon” informants who committed numerous murders and crimes. When the truth was finally uncovered through intrepid investigative reporting and persistent, honest judges, U.S. taxpayers footed a $100 million court award to the four men framed for murders ...
Quote:

Mueller’s FBI was also severely criticized by Department of Justice Inspector Generals finding the FBI overstepped the law improperly serving hundreds of thousands of “national security letters” to obtain private (and irrelevant) metadata on citizens, and for infiltrating nonviolent anti-war groups under the guise of investigating “terrorism.”

btw, do you not know how to use google?

Donald Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort's cooperation deal with Robert Mueller's special counsel investigation will likely lead to more charges, according to former U.S. attorney Preet Bharara.

"Given how late in the game Mueller was prepared to bargain, more people will almost certainly be charged based on Manafort info," Bharara tweeted on Friday. Bharara previously served as a U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York from 2009 to 2017. He was fired by Trump just three months after he entered the Oval Office.

Bharara also said that Mueller probably already has all of Manafort's information, stating that typically prosecutors "get the information before you offer the agreement."

@PreetBharara
Given how late in the game Mueller was prepared to bargain, more people will almost certainly be charged based on Manafort info.



Manafort, Trump's former top confidant, pleaded guilty to several federal crimes in a D.C. federal court on Friday. The charges include conspiring to defraud the United States and conspiring to obstruct justice due to witness tampering. The confessions of guilt come after Manafort had proclaimed his innocence for months.


In August, Manafort was found guilty by a grand jury on eight counts of bank and tax fraud charges. The 69-year-old faces a prison sentence of almost 20 years, though his sentencing has now been placed on hold.

Manafort is the first person to be brought to trial as a result of Mueller's special counsel investigation into Russian election meddling.

Trump at the time had expressed his sympathy for his former campaign chairman, tweeting that he felt "very badly for Paul Manafort and his wonderful family." After the guilty verdict was reached Trump told reporters that Manafort was a "brave man."

Manafort
Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort departs from U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. on February 28. Manafort's recent cooperation deal with Robert Mueller will likely lead to more charges, former U.S. attorney Preet Bharara said.


But now the White House is on the defensive. Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that Manafort's cooperation deal "had absolutely nothing to do with the President or his victorious 2016 Presidential campaign. It is totally unrelated."

Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani also made a similar statement. "Once again an investigation has concluded with a plea having nothing to do with President Trump or the Trump campaign. The reason: the President did nothing wrong," Giuliani said.

The president has pressured Mueller to end the investigation before the midterm elections this November.

But Bharara says that the probe is unlikely to end anytime soon, calling it a "“slow and steady juggernaut."

Mueller is playing 3-dimensional chess, while Rudy and company are playing checkers. He's three or four moves ahead, so he knows exactly what's going
on and he's getting all his ducks in a row.

To be honest, I didn't think Manafort would crack. But Mueller got his balls
in a vise grip and he's cracking them like walnuts. The Domino Theory is
about to hit the fan.

A pardon is useless. If Trump did it the states where the crimes were committed would file charges. Trump can't touch that. He can only pardon them from Federal prosecution. Manaforts lawyers would fight that but the states would win out.

just off the top of my search: mueller failures
Quote:

Mueller also is remembered for a headline-grabbing case that ended in failure.

In 1979, the government lodged then-novel racketeering charges against 33 members of the Hells Angels motorcycle club. The indictments alleged bombings and murders as well as the manufacture and sale of illegal drugs. The defendants and their supporters were so feared that bulletproof glass was installed in court to shield the judge.

The first trial, of 18 defendants, ended with only five convictions. All were overturned on appeal.

Mueller, who led the U.S. attorney’s special prosecutions unit, then took over the case. He dropped many of the charges, including those against Ralph “Sonny” Barger, leader of the club’s Oakland chapter, whose charismatic testimony had dominated the first trial.

Mueller led a team of four prosecutors in court when the second trial, with 11 defendants, began in October 1980. But after four months, the jury said it was deadlocked, and the judge declared a mistrial. Mueller decided not to ask for a retrial.

Richard B. Mazer, a defense lawyer at both trials, said the government was unable to prove the Hells Angels was a racketeering enterprise. Key prosecution witnesses, he said, seemed unreliable — especially those granted immunity to testify despite having committed violent crimes themselves.

Quote:

When Comey and Mueller Bungled the Anthrax Case
Comey and Mueller badly bungled the biggest case they ever handled. They botched the investigation of the 2001 anthrax letter attacks that took five lives and infected 17 other people, shut down the U.S. Capitol and Washington’s mail system, solidified the Bush administration’s antipathy for Iraq, and eventually, when the facts finally came out, made the FBI look feckless, incompetent, and easily manipulated by outside political pressure.

Quote:

Current media applause omits the fact that former FBI Director Mueller was the top official in charge of the Anthrax terror fiasco investigation into the 2001 murders, which targeted an innocent man (Steven Hatfill) whose lawsuit eventually forced the FBI to pay $5 million in compensation.
Quote:

Long before he became FBI Director, serious questions existed about Mueller’s role as Acting U.S. Attorney in Boston in effectively enabling decades of corruption and covering up of the FBI’s illicit deals with mobster Whitey Bulger and other “top echelon” informants who committed numerous murders and crimes. When the truth was finally uncovered through intrepid investigative reporting and persistent, honest judges, U.S. taxpayers footed a $100 million court award to the four men framed for murders ...
Quote:

Mueller’s FBI was also severely criticized by Department of Justice Inspector Generals finding the FBI overstepped the law improperly serving hundreds of thousands of “national security letters” to obtain private (and irrelevant) metadata on citizens, and for infiltrating nonviolent anti-war groups under the guise of investigating “terrorism.”

btw, do you not know how to use google?

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Robert-Mueller


Hey Kiki,

Turns out you were right about the Lockerbie Case:

Quote:

Pan Am Flight 103 bombing trial

The Pan Am Flight 103 bombing trial began on 3 May 2000, 11 years, 4 months and 13 days after the destruction of Pan Am Flight 103 on 21 December 1988. The 36-week trial took place at a specially convened Scottish Court in the Netherlands set up under Scots law and held at a disused United States Air Force base called Camp Zeist near Utrecht.



Although Mueller did lead the U.S. team of lawyers, the trial was held in
Scotland (because there was no extradition agreement between the United
States and Libya). So the Scottish took the lead in that aspect of the case
due to jurisdictional observances.

Just thought I'd point that out since you failed to mention that little
tidbit in your post. You can practice U.S. law in another country once you
register with that country, or you can obtain a license via a conversion process and various other requirements (which could take years) to practice
the local law in said country.

So no, he did not secure a conviction, the local licensed Scottish attorney did.

The tick tock means a career ending election is on the way. Maybe in Nov 2018, maybe Nov 2020. Once upon a time the tick tock meant impeachment for Trump, but realistically that trial won’t start until after there are 67 Democratic Senators who’d vote to remove Trump. The chances of electing 67 are 0. The chances of getting all 49 Democratic Senators and at least 18 Republican Senators who’d vote to remove Trump are also 0 at this time. Maybe it will always be 0.
