Manafort bank fraud trial does have Trump campaign connection, Mueller's team says
CNN ^

Posted on 07/06/2018 4:43:00 PM PDT by janetjanet998

(CNN)Prosecutors for special counsel Robert Mueller said in a court filing Friday that they intend to present evidence at the trial of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort that a banking executive allegedly helped Manafort obtain loans of more than $6 million while the banker sought a role in the Trump campaign.

Manafort faces trial on bank fraud charges in the Eastern District of Virginia beginning July 25. Until now, there had been no indication that his role in the Trump campaign would become part of the trial, and he had asked the judge to keep details about his ties to President Donald Trump out of the trial. Prosecutors say any alleged collusion with the Russian government won't come up at the trial. "The government intends to present evidence that although various Lender D employees identified serious issues with the defendant's loan application, the senior executive at Lender D interceded in the process and approved the loan," according to the filing.

Did the banker get a role in the Trump campaign? No.

“The unnamed man “expressed an interest in serving in the administration of President Trump, but did not secure such a position.”

So what does this REALLY have to do with Trump? Zero, zip, nada.

Yet, what will the sheeple take away with the CNN headline? They’ll say: “See Mabel, I told you that guy Manafort was going to lead to getting Trump.” And as CNN polling is done in the falling weeks, the CNN execs will be hoping to say: “See it worked; the sheeple are again thinking Mueller’s got Trump”.

“Manafort bank fraud trial does have Trump campaign connection, Mueller’s team says”

Silly me, but why are they entering into evidence the unswore testimony of an unnamed banker?

Last time I checked testimony is supposed to be presented my the person making the statements? Where are Mannefort's attorneys?

The bank executive “expressed interest in working on the Trump campaign, told (Manafort) about his interest, and eventually secured a position advising the Trump campaign,” the filing said. The unnamed man “expressed an interest in serving in the administration of President Trump, but did not secure such a position.”


Probably another FBI/CIA/MI6 plant trying to get access to Trump campaign.

Banker: "I'll approve your loan if you can try to get me on Trump's campaign"

Mannefort: "I'll see what I can do"

Banker: "Loan approved."

Mannefort: "Here, hand out these flyers"

Mueller: AHA!!!!! A connection to Trump

Me: "Ok, what crime has been committed?"
