Yeah, no matter what he spent it on, even if he’d been a noted philanthropist(which has 100% happened) and beloved by thousands, it wouldn’t clear him from what he did to get the money.
Looks to me like there was already a case, but the PDF stuff makes it easier to trace Manafort's fraud forgeries. So I guess the answer would be maybe.
People who cross the Russians fall out of windows while installing hot tubs on the sixth floor, drink polonium laced tea, accidentally get nerve gassed in public, or just get straight up murdered.
At the risk of explaining a joke, the point I was trying to make was that you knew what you were talking about, and posted here on Wonkette before Judge Ellis spoke.
I didn't read your entire writeup because I have ADHD: disclosure. That said, I've been operating under the impression that Mueller knows what he's doing, and that Manafort didn't know it at the time, but that giant "M" he had carved in his property, actually stood for "Mueller".
It’s not actually all that easy — or at all smart — to rook outside people into money-laundering, fraud, and tax evasion scams. And I do not believe the government has to prove motive. But if so, “evading taxes” as motive is easily proven.
You are not wrong. The prosecutor must prove knowledge of the existence of the conspiracy and knowledge of the wrongfulness of the alleged acts. Motive is irrelevant.
I figure he’s also worried about the safety of his family. I’d reckon the Russians are not ones for a quick death...

While wearing The Cruel Shoes...
So taskmaster jurists are GOOD for the integrity of the legal process? It’s not like TV?
{I’m being facetious...}
Glaaah! I prefer my method: stay poor.
There is nothing I would want or could do that would cost that much money. Maybe some first-class travel, but even so.

I am sorry. People attacking the judge has made me unduly hostile. This is a good reminder that I need to step back for a bit from time to time.

The appeal can only be based on alleged errors made at trial. No new evidence can be brought; you don't get to retry the case, either.

You must be a poor person. Wealthy people don’t have savings, they have investments.

Is that why all that shit Manafort bought was ugly?
