Lawyers for former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort failed to reach a plea deal with federal prosecutors ahead of his second trial stemming from the special counsel's Russia investigation, according to a report.

Negotiations reached an impasse over issues raised by special counsel Robert Mueller, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday, meaning Manafort's trial in Washington is likely to start on the scheduled date of Sept. 17.

The two sides met while a jury impaneled by a federal district court in Virginia was considering whether to convict Manafort of 18 tax and bank fraud charges brought by Mueller's team in that district.

Going back to 2005. I've had many dealings with IRS.  Four times, personally, found THEM WRONG.  They lose documents. On purpose?  I had my saved returns, made copies where it showed, I paid my tax.  All they said was. "We will make our records agree with yours.'  I would have paid thousands, again, If I did not keep all my records.  BOGUS.  Witch hunt.  No one could pass a Mueller "investigation".  Wasting our tax dollars. So far, 25 million.

You might have a point if a lot of the evidence against him wasn’t taken from his own records.
