THE BERNIE CONNECTION? Manafort Probe Finds Links to SANDERS CAMPAIGN STRATEGIST

posted by Hannity Staff - 7.19.18

Robert Mueller’s year-long investigation into the Trump campaign’s alleged ties to Russia took a stunning twist this week, with new data showing multiple contacts between Paul Manafort and Bernie Sanders top campaign strategist.

According to the New York Post, the special counsel published a list of material against the former Trump campaign staffer this week; highlighting his connection with Sander’s aide Tad Devine who appeared in the documents at least 16 times.

“Their email exchanges continued until the spring of 2014, and Devine went to work for Sanders later that year,” writes the Post. “Devine — who worked for Sanders in the 1990s and also worked as an aide to Al Gore, John Kerry and Michael Dukakis on their campaigns — also communicated with Rick Gates, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy and making false statements in the Mueller probe, according to the filing.”

The President slammed Mueller’s never-ending investigation while speaking alongside Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Helsinki Monday; calling the probe an absolute “disaster” for the country.

MANAFORT STRIKES BACK: Former Trump Aide SUES DOJ, Mueller, Rosenstein

posted by Hannity Staff - 1.03.18

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort is fighting back against the Department of Justice and the special counsel’s office; suing the DOJ, Robert Mueller, and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein over allegations they overstepped their boundaries while investigating whether Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election.

The paperwork claims that the special counsel’s office intentionally targeted Manafort, eventually indicting him on charges that are completely unrelated to allegations the Trump campaign “colluded” with Russia to steal the election from Hillary Clinton.

“The investigation of Mr. Manafort is completely unmoored from the Special Counsel’s original jurisdiction to investigate ‘any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump,’” the complaint states.

“It has instead focused on unrelated, decade-old business dealings—specifically, Ukraine political campaign consulting activities of Mr. Manafort.”

“The actions of DOJ and Mr. Rosenstein in issuing the Appointment Order, and Mr. Mueller’s actions pursuant to the authority the Order granted him, were arbitrary, capricious, and not in accordance with the law,” adds the court filings.

The former campaign chairman was indicted in late October on a dozen counts related to illegal financial transfers and business dealings, and have yielded zero connections to the President or those closest to him.

MUELLER STRIKES: Special Counsel INDICTS PAUL MANAFORT… Again

posted by Hannity Staff - 2.22.18

Special counsel Robert Mueller indicted former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort for a second time Thursday, charging the one-time presidential insider with money laundering and failing to register as a foreign agent for his work relating to the Ukrainian government.

The new indictment was filed in Northern Virginia and accuses Manafort and associate Rick Gates of acting as “unregistered agents of a foreign government and foreign political parties. Specifically, they represented the Government of Ukraine, the President of Ukraine.”

Court filings go on to say Manafort and Gates “generated tens of millions of dollars” through the Ukrainian government but failed to disclose their work to federal authorities.

“Manafort used his hidden overseas wealth to enjoy a lavish lifestyle in the United States, without paying taxes on that income. Manafort, without reporting the income to his tax preparer or the United States, spent millions of dollars on luxury goods and services for himself and his extended family through payments wired from offshore nominee accounts to United States vendors,” adds the indictment.
