This is still the United States that Manafort lives in; it is not the Banana Republic of the Ukraine. He claims innocence and thus has answered the charge. It is incumbent on the complainant to prove otherwise, beyond a reasonable doubt.
For those of you trying to tie D. Trump into it, keep in mind that it was OBAMER who made the comment when he thought the microphones were off that he would be more able to work with the Russians when he was re-elected. Trump feels that insofar as leadership is invoked, he feels that Putin is a stronger leader for Russia that OBAMER is for the United States.
Obviously Manafort has a name and it is NOT Campaign manager for Trump. This is an underhanded attempt to tie Trump in to the ALLEGED Ukraine - Manafort charges. This is a page out of the book of the World’s most prolific prefabricator, Hillary R Clinton.
Thank you for identifying yourself as a low intelligence lurker.
Well stated, indeed.
