The FBI's investigation of Donald Trump's former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, includes a keen focus on a series of suspicious wire transfers in which offshore companies linked to Manafort moved more than $3 million all over the globe between 2012 and 2013. Much of the money came into the United States. These transactions — which have not been previously reported — drew the attention of federal law enforcement officials as far back as 2012, when they began to examine wire transfers to determine if Manafort hid money from tax authorities or helped the Ukrainian regime close to Russian President Vladimir Putin launder some of the millions it plundered through corrupt dealings.

4 years before Trump's campaign.
Correct OF course, Meuller's job is to investigate issues with the 2016 election...of which Manafort was a key player...
Hmmm. Here I thought Mueller's job was to investigate any connection between Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia, not a 2012 connection between Manafort and the Ukraine.
Although I have to source to cite at the moment... (I just heard a news broadcast from the BBC) Meuller's indictments specifically reference transactions and activities well into 2016... FYI
Perhaps. But Manafort was lobbying to get the Ukraine into the EU. Nothing to do with the Trump campaign or Russia.
I understand the argument. Here is what the indictments are all about - Manafort has been on the Kremlin's payroll for years - he chose to hide the money he was paid from the IRS and more recently the FEC. He also chose to conceal the relationships he has had and the work he has performed to warrant such handsome paydays. Is it possible that he was paid-off for his "work" in years well before the election cycle? sure! But, let's be honest... this un-American acting foreign agent was working for the interests of those paying him - and now he's been caught. And his work included running the campaign of 45. This is not about his actions in 2013 it is about what he was paid to do in 2016. IMHO
Yes, "LET'S BE HONEST": IF Mannafort was, an "un-American acting foreign agent was working for the interests of those paying him," as has been said, a President NOT named "TRUMP" was President. Q: In which case, do do you believe 0bammy, the DS, and Hillary knew all about it?" OR were completely in the dark?? Remember -- you want to "BE HONEST," right?
How should I know? What a stupid question. If it is proven that Manafort and Co. worked against the interests of the people of the United States, prosecute him. If it is proven that Ms. Clinton, President Obama, or anyone else was knowingly involved in any way, prosecute them too. Don't try to involve me in your stupid partisan pissing match - I don't care. What I do care about is that there is a very real chance that our democratic process of electing representatives might have been knowingly f-ed up by foreign interests - that is unacceptable, and I'd hope even you would get that.
How should I know? Having a problem connecting the two dots, eh? Mannafort was allegedly conducting a LOT of cloak & dagger business right under the nose of 0bama and Hillary as they were President and SoS respectively, and obviously needing SOME kind of clearance to deal with Russia (remember THEM? 0bama and Hillary ok'd the Uranium Deal, didn't they?) If it is proven that Ms. Clinton, President Obama, or anyone else was knowingly involved in any way, prosecute them too. Don't try to involve me in your stupid partisan pissing match - I don't care. Oh, but as a Prog, you DO care. That's why you're so gung-ho on Mannafort's indictment while ignoring the obvious high crimes committed by both your treasonous ex-President and Presidential criminal-wannabe. What I do care about is that there is a very real chance that our democratic process of electing representatives might have been knowingly f-ed up by foreign interests - that is unacceptable, and I'd hope even you would get that. How noble of you to care. NOW THAT TRUMP IS PRESIDENT. How about your concern from 2008-2016 "very real" PROBABILITY that "our democratic process of electing representatives" has ALREADY been tampered with by subversive DOMESTIC interests? Like the DNC and 0bama's and Hitlery's minions? Funny how you're conveniently forgotten all the clear cases of Election Fraud perpetrated by DNC and Democratic Precincts (Harry Reid's Nevada (D) computers were calibrated by one of his sons, Clark County commission chairman.) I could go on and on and enlighten you. But we both know your supposed neutral political interest and ethics are select. Forget about ACORN? SEIU? THIS (New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case)?: The DNC-CNN collusion during Hillary's-Trump debate, 0bama's promise to the Russian President that once he was elected, he' be able to "make deals"? How about key testimony that computerized voting machines can easily be tampered with?

Oh please.... You're such a drama queen. This discussion is about Mueller's investigation and the ramifications of it. If there is any actual proof of any of your whack-job conspiracies please cite the associated criminal case....otherwise no intelligent person cares. But please allow me to digress for one moment, to state something I believe 100% - you can disagree or not, I really don't care.... If it is truly possible to "hack" the ballot box.... it will happen in every single election every single time. I'm finished on that topic.
So... I couldn't find any indictments, convictions or pleas as it applies to "all the clear cases of election fraud in Nevada" - couldyou cite your sources?
Please cite your source for these "facts"
