[Vanity] FBI Cleared Manafort?
Memory | Meeee!

Posted on 08/01/2018 7:12:27 PM PDT by TBP

I seem to remember seeing articles saying that the FBI investigated the charges against Manafort in 2005 and dropped the case. Can anyone help me find them?

Found the agents testimony on the home entry:

"Matthew Mikuska, the FBI agent who raided Manafort's home last year, testified that he and other agents gathered outside Manafort's door shortly after 6 a.m., then knocked on three separate occasions and announced that the FBI was there to execute a search warrant.

When nobody answered the door, the agents used a key they already had and entered the condo, Mikuska said. When they walked in, they saw Manafort standing nearby. The agent testified he was not aware how the FBI agents had the key."

The second after Manafort is found Guilty by a Black Jury, The President should pardon him.

I'm going to make an assumption that if Judge Nap has said this, that Hannity has heard it.

Not a lawyer, but even if the FBI had "exonerated" Manafort in the past, that is not the same as a trial, so no double jeopardy would apply. If the things they seized from Manafort were authorized by a search warrant, then the judge who issued the warrant must be put on the stand and questioned by the defense, and he would most likely still be upheld.

I too searched for articles on this, but I couldn't find one. This is something I received in an email a while back.

Just found this link on The Liberty Daily...it's from today:

Judge Nap says Manafort’s defense will be that he was EXONERATED 8 years ago…

Mueller is going to look like a fool pretty soon. “Exonerated by Rod Rosenstein eight years ago of the same charges..” WOW

Wasn’t Rosenstein involve in deciding NOT to take Manafort’s case to trial?

Rosenstein may even be called to the witness stand by Manafort’s lawyers why he cleared their client. LoL.

I don’t know. We will have to see if it comes out during the trial.
