A former son-in-law of President Donald Trump’s ex-campaign chairman pleaded guilty to federal criminal charges in a sealed proceeding in California in January and is cooperating with federal investigators, people familiar with the matter said.

The shake down by people with unlimited money and power - the feds. Our tax dollars at work.
I can’t even imagine how frightening this must be.
Like he has a choice?
A “ former son in law”
No agenda there, folks
Do you know what???
This is sickening unbridled evil
Weaponized “ law” is no law
I cannot remember “who” but I did read where a Mueller “target” was pleading because they had his “son” (SIL?) on a treason charge.
Any help?
Apparently they made the mistake of screwing a bunch of big-name Hollywood people who were investors in their schemes. Dustin Hoffman's name comes up in most of the articles I've found about the former son-in-law's legal troubles.
The best and most reliable information comes from ex- in-laws.
The FBI has been after this guy for years. I think in this case Mueller saw this fake investigation as an opportunity to settle some old scores.
He divorced Manafort’s daughter, who had turned against her father, as I recall.
Flynn
Ex son in law. Credible.
Read the guy's biographical profile. If you just read his background and didn't know who he was, you'd assume he was the person Donald Trump had in mind when he described "The Swamp" in Washington, D.C.
Manafort made a fortune selling influence in D.C. to foreign interests. I've long ago conceded that there's a strong possibility he was as crooked as the criminal charges against him make him out to be.
Mueller threatened Flynn’s son. That pressured Flynn into agreeing to plead guilty to lying and cooperate with Mueller.
I'm sick and tired of the asswhole and he needs to be fired...let the politicians bitch up a storm...see if AMERICAN TAX PAYERS GIVE A RAT'S ASS...WE DON'T...
GET THIS DOG AND PONY SHOW OVER WITH,,,SICK OF IT ALL ALONG WITH STEAMY STORM..AND HER LYING PHONY LAWYER...LOCK THEM ALL UP...
I hope Manafort walks. This Mueller crap has nothing to do with collusion.
What sickens me the most is that Obama and Hillary are still in power, just not the way they used to be.
I don't claim any pseudo-psychic insight but just reading his name for the first time I had a gut feeling it was a bad choice by the Trump team.
I was a bit ticked off when the Trump team dumped Corey Lewandowski after the Michelle Fields set-up.
At the time I was being told Manafort had to take over because Lewandowski was out of his league at that point.
But Lewandowski got Trump in with his gut feelings about the electorate.
Manafort, I feared, would just be another 'establishment hack' who would listen to the polls instead of his instincts.
I don't know Manafort personally but from the get go I saw him as old school establishment and dangerous to Trump.
Frankly, I believe Trump won not because of Manafort but in spite of Manafort.
If this evil lawlessness isn’t addressed by those with authority and responsibility it must then be addressed by we the people.
Suposedly Flynn pled guilty to take heat off his son.
