Can indictments be regifted? Looks like additional charges may be in Paul Manafort's future, and we don't mean big credit-card purchases at after-Christmas sales. The Daily Beast's Betsy Woodruff reports that Special Counsel Robert Mueller may be putting Manafort's feet to the fire with new counts on top of the conspiracy, money-laundering, and false statement charges brought against Manafort at the end of October. Manafort and his loyal dogsbody Rick Gates pleaded not guilty, and now "Washington legal circles" are anticipating Mueller will file a "superceding indictment" which would replace the existing document, keeping the original charges and adding new ones.
You can probably thank the auditors for that system. We always had to find ways to keep the executives from screwing the company out of money. Too bad it fell all the way to you.
I keep hearing about these high falutin' slick city lawyers that cost five children an hour, but I sure ain't seeing 'em. Who the fuck is advising Manafort, or any of these dudes?
Now I might not be just a simple country lawyer, but I know the first thing you say to a client is "Shut yer yapper!"
So when Manafort started trash talking Mueller about free-lancing articles about back in the USSR, I thought, gee, what a shitty lawyer Manafort must be paying for.
Treason's Greetings. Too bad no matter which of these slimeballs gets indicted we'll be stuck with disgusting "conservative" justices on the federal benches for much (if not all) of the rest of our lives. Too bad that garbage can't be taken out (at least not by any means of which I'm aware).
As an aside, this does seem to indicate the prosecution system in the US needs reform - this method is used to "dirty up" a defendant without actually having to provide proof. Its like a whisper campaign. I don't understand how this effort to taint public opinion, like perp walking, is allowed.
That'll take care of Mueller. There's no way his investigation will be able to accomplish things under the conditions they'll set on him. If that happens, he might as well pack it in.
Pack it in big boxes and ship it off to NY AG Eric Schneiderman.
It's true, she was awesome.
It sounds like Mueller has Manafort's balls in the vise and is ready to turn the screw
Oh FFS

Manafort never needed a lawyer better than shitty until now.
He always got away with it.
And we know exactly what to do with that red hot poker.
To be fair, ‘patriot’ sounds better than ‘ignorant cracker’.
We don't want no Russian trolls in Disqus. Every Russian post is one less available slot for Turgid Love Muscle.
MAGA!

Putting our chips on Trump's unwillingness to throw anyone under the bus is a sucker bet.

Only long stick he's ever seen.
To be fair, when he is at work, he doesn't spend any of time on Wonkette like a lot of lower-level employees out there.
Enthusiasms.
