Mueller threatening new charges against Paul Manafort in bid to deplete ‘resources,’ attorney says
« on: February 20, 2018, 02:38:12 pm »
By Rowan Scarborough - The Washington Times - Monday, February 19, 2018

Special counsel Robert Mueller is threatening to file more criminal charges in new jurisdictions against Paul Manafort, his attorney said in a court filing that suggests prosecutors are deliberately trying to deplete his client’s “resources.”

The Manafort investigation is headed by career prosecutor Andrew Weissmann, who is known for rough investigative tactics to squeeze targets and gain guilty pleas. Mr. Weissmann said in a court filing that Mr. Manafort has expressed doubts that he can “maintain the payments on all his mortgages.” His Trump Tower condominium is at risk of foreclosure, he said.

Mr. Manafort’s attorney, Kevin M. Downing, filed his argument Feb. 16 in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to support his lawsuit against the Justice Department. He is asking District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson to end the special counsel’s investigation of Mr. Manafort.

This is worse than what Manafort is charged with.

Too bad Manafort can't file a RICO suit against Mueller.

Downing had better be careful. He may find himself under investigation, as well. It is a tactic that Mueller and Wiseman have used in the past and are using now.


Mueller charges lawyer with lying about interaction with Rick Gates

Special counsel Robert Mueller has filed a charge against a lawyer for lying to investigators about his interaction with former Trump campaign aide Rick Gates in September 2016.

Alex Van Der Zwaan is expected to plead guilty Tuesday afternoon. The filing is further evidence of Mueller's investigation of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Gates and their work for Russian-allied clients.

Mueller's dog and pony circus continues. And the MSM and all the demented Liberals cheer.

Andrew Weissmann, who is known for rough investigative tactics

That's a nice way to say he has been involved in criminality to make cases.

And once they get Manafort on anything, the Donks and their allies in the MSM will have everything they need to paint this as Trump campaign wrongdoings.

This is a serious problem in our judicial system, beyond this Trump Russia nonsense. Prosecutors have the almost limitless resources of the state. If they want to destroy you, they can. There needs to be some sort of check on that power.

Yeah!  To say the least!

I was one of the first in this forum to say it, and I'll say it again:

The president should fire Mueller, disband the special prosecutor's office, and then take the heat.

Be done with it!
