Federal prosecutors accused former Trump presidential campaign chairman Paul Manafort of witness tampering late Monday in his tax and lobbying case and asked a federal judge to consider revoking or revising his release pending trial. In a late Monday filing in Washington, prosecutors accused Manafort and a longtime associate they previously linked to Russian intelligence of repeatedly contacting two members of a public-relations firm since February to secure false testimony about their collective work involving a group of former senior European politicians. The group, informally called the “Hapsburg group,” was secretly retained in 2012 by Manafort to take positions favorable to Ukraine, for whom Manafort was working, prosecutors charged. In court documents, including an affidavit by FBI agent Brock W. Domin, prosecutors with Special Counsel Robery S. Mueller III allege Manafort and his associate-- referred to only as Person A - tried to contact the two witnesses by phone and through an encrypted messaging program. Manafort, 69, has been on home confinement pending trial. Domin said that one of the public relations firm executives, identified as Person D1, told the government he “understood Manafort’s outreach to be an effort to ‘suborn perjury,’” and cause someone knowingly to tell a falsehood in the case by saying the group worked mainly in Europe and to minimize its U.S. work. Manafort has pleaded not guilty to charges including conspiracy, money laundering and bank and tax fraud charges in connection with his work for a pro-Russian Ukrainian politician and political party. In a superseding indictment In 2012 and 2013, according to the indictment, Manafort used offshore accounts to wire more than 2 million euros to pay the former politicians, who were described as independent actors instead of paid lobbyists. Prosecutors also filed notice of the allegation in Manafort’s pending tax and bank fraud case in federal court in Alexandria, where Manafort is under under similar conditions of conditional home cinfinement.

According to WaPo. LMAO
Also being reported by: CNN, NYT, CBS, The Hill, Bloomburg, National Review, BBC..... What is your point?
IOW, the usual "resistance" Fake News outlets? *yawn* What is your point? THE point(s)? You, like they, are still comically grasping at thin straws and imploding. Y'all can keep on feeding your insanity and paranoia while holding your collective breath and stomping your feetsies till 2020 -- President Trump is going NO WHERE. (While YOUR severely mentally challenged Dem Party, P*ssy Hat lunatics, conspirators and collaborators are in deep doo-doo.)
You forgot to add trolling in there cause I can't believe they're stupid enough to believe what they're posting, I might be wrong which would mean a bag of used pucks has an IQ advantage over them.
Heh-heh... Sure, to the sane (aka *us*), Jameson's post appear to be "trolling" because, who could be THAT dopey and alienated from truth and reality? And then we remind ourselves that Progs-Libs voted for Hitlery while millions believed that 0bama *wuz* a "messiah". Their "Reality-IQ" is absolutely below room-temp. Here's the weird thing from OUR perspective: The left-Lib mind-set really *does* believe in their insanity and delusion. So yes, someone like Jameson may be relatively "normal" in routine matters of life, but ideologically their political reality is totally warped. UP = DOWN to these people. HATE dominates their emotions. IS it a mental illness? Sure looks that way.

I've always wondered why they lie so much, is it because they don't know any better or is it because they do know how foolish their ideology is and have to lie to cover up some of the worst bits?
