He can spend what he wants on suits. That's not the issue. The fact that he wired money in from unreported offshore accounts tends to show awareness on his part that the accounts were for the purpose of hiding income. Goes to a guilty state of mind.

If nothing else the vain SOB should be convicted of pissing away that much money on freaking clothes.

Hell Trump would have gotten 4 or 5 models/porn stars for that kind of coin spent over those years. Manaforts priorities are obviously screwed up.

Hell, he's a lousy campaign operative, also. Do you know how many Russian bots and social media ads he could buy with $400k?

It will when Manafort is convicted and can either roll over and give up Trump or spend the rest of his life in prison. Trump knows this choice is going to be on the table. And it scares him to his core.

Roll over with regards to what crime? What is he guilty of?

I'm speculating based on the public evidence but at this point would say definitely obstruction of justice, attempted obstruction of justice, conspiracy to obstruct justice, conspiracy to defraud the United States by cyber misconduct, conspiracy to violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and conspiracy to violate the Wiretap Act.

I suspect, but do not yet know, that he may also have committed bribery type offenses, related to Russian money in exchange for altering US policy.

Rick Wilson is a Republican strategist and writer who just started his book tour for "Everything Trump Touches Dies.".
He specially autographed one copy to very special buyer who has a lot of extra reading time available.

Soon...….sounds like really soon. You've got him now on multiple offenses. I don't see how he doesn't get the chair.

The prosecution said in court it is moving ahead of schedule and intends to rest its case sometime next week.

Rick Gates, Manafort's former business partner who pleaded guilty to making false statements after being indicted by Mueller, was expected to be a star government witness. U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis asked the prosecution whether they planned to have Gates testify.

"He may testify in this case, he may not," said prosecutor Uzo Asonye, a day after the defense made clear in opening statements to jurors that its strategy centered on discrediting Gates as an untruthful embezzler.

Points a pretty weak case by the prosecution if he doesn’t testify.

How so? The case is mostly documented financial transactions.

It says they don’t think their star witness who they gave a deal to testimony can stand up to cross examination.

When your star witness has already been caught lying under oath and is trying to get a deal...not really a solid foundation for a winning case. Its like marrying a girl who was cheating on her husband with you...do you really think she is going to be honest?
