So Gates and Manafort are tax cheats. What on God’s green Earth does this have to do with Trump? Manafort worked for Trump for 59 days, and Trump was never warned by the FBI was under investigation before he was hired.

Manafort contested that his case fell outside of the SC scope letter. The trial judge decided it didn't. The scope letter was fairly broad. Being part of the Trump campaign doomed Manafort to SC charges.

The testimony of a thief.....

As a jurror, I hear “I stole money from my boss”, and I think why waste my time with the rest of his testimony?

Exactly my thoughts.

Gates talking about foreign ‘loans’ and offshore shizz gets ever closer and closer to John McCain and Rick Davis.

Manafort’s lawyer needs to full-court press Gates to link Manafort<—>Davis/McCain/Ukraine and the quid pro quo that’s on the public record, and when Gates lies to preserve McCain, impeach Gates’ testimony.

"This thing is a train wreck."

But no witches were harmed, they are still out there, somewhere, and will be found, eventually.

Manafort’s former best friend in kindergarten testified that he traded his banana for Manafort’s apple, and the apple was squishy and he stopped being his best friend after that, and told him, and Manafort called him a poopy pants and stuck out his tongue. Yawn.

Wait till the defense rips this guy a new one. Perry Mason will shine.

I thought Manafort problems were mostly related to the Ukraine, not Russia.
