Manafort Destiny? Trump continued

Where will the charges against Manafort lead? Whose shredders are overheating today? And most importantly, when will the Tweetstorm-from-the-loo start?

Someone apparently carved Mueller’s face into a pumpkin and left it in front of Manafort's house. hill.cm/byN7TL5

To present the case...
Let's not be too hasty.

I assume the length doesn't include the case for the defence.

cozietoesie · 03/11/2017 16:32

Money is complicated. (Or it can be.)

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 03/11/2017 16:49

Doesn't it seem short? I have no idea about the legal system, much less the US legal system, but they've got 12 charges to get through

badbadhusky · 03/11/2017 16:51

Slam dunk case?

cozietoesie · 03/11/2017 16:58

It will depend on their evidence, I guess.

Lweji · 03/11/2017 17:05

15 days will be three weeks, right? 15 working days, or court days.
It sounds quite long, actually, just for the prosecution. It's more than one per per count.

For reference, my day in court for DV was just one day.

My jury duty with an attempted murder case was a couple of days in the actual court.

Robert Mueller appears to be targeting Mike Pence after all

Ah ok, maybe not so short then.

Flowers I hope your court experience went as well as it could

The Judge specifically said that your statements factored into the lenient sentence. When will you learn?

New: Manafort will file motion to suppress evidence "improperly obtained by search warrant, subpoena, or otherwise"

cozietoesie · 03/11/2017 17:43

That’s to be expected.

AcrossthePond55 · 03/11/2017 17:52

There are going to be a lot of motions filed by Manafort et al. This is 'throw everything against the wall time'.

Sometimes, if you can wade through all the legalese, these motions can be very revealing.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 03/11/2017 17:53

Yes, sounds like it.

Who is 'Pocahontas '? Shock
Trump's latest tweet. Who is he referring to?

Pocahontas just stated that the Democrats, lead by the legendary Crooked Hillary Clinton, rigged the Primaries! Lets go FBI & Justice Dept.

WishfulThanking · 03/11/2017 18:14

In the comments they're saying it's racist.

I thought he'd stopped calling her that. Is he just yelling out any old crap now to take the spotlight off himself?

Lweji · 03/11/2017 18:29

It's Elizabeth Warren. She claims to have native American ancestry.

Is the tweet back or did it only disappear from my account?

TheNorthWestPawsage · 03/11/2017 18:29

It's his name for Elizabeth Warren. She had previously claimed some Native American heritage - which has been discredited or hard to prove, I believe.

The ap article above is long but this is a key takeaway

@brianklaas
Russians modified DNC e-mails to make them seem worse than they were. Wikileaks propagated. Trump mentioned Wikileaks 164 times final month.
