Paul Manafort, formerly President Donald Trump's campaign chairman, pleaded guilty on Friday to two counts and agreed to cooperate with federal prosecutors. Prosecutor Andrew Weissman called Manafort's plea deal a cooperation agreement during an 11 a.m. hearing at the federal courthouse in Washington.
A charging document filed Friday in the District of Columbia accuses Manafort, 69, of participating in a conspiracy against the United States involving money laundering, tax fraud, failing to file Foreign Bank Account Reports, violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act, and lying and misrepresenting to the Department of Justice.
The second charge, conspiracy to obstruct justice, is tied to his efforts to guide witness testimony after he was indicted last year.

Poster Comment:
WHY was Manafort installed as Dip-Shit II's campaign manager ??
Because he was an experienced anti-american thug:
"...Manafort, 69, of participating in a conspiracy against the United States involving money laundering, tax fraud, failing to file Foreign Bank Account Reports, violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act, and lying and misrepresenting to the Department of Justice..."
Now he will testify, under oath, about how he committed these crimes for his boss, King Ass-Clown.

"...Per NBC, DSD45 has privately told friends he could be in serious legal jeopardy if Paul Manafort flips on himimplying Manafort knows of crimes committed by Trump..."
