Let's be honest here - Manafort knows a ton about DC dealings with Russia and any number of FARA violations. Given Trump was not a DC insider the likelihood is that Manafort is providing info on stuff that has nothing to do with Trump but the headline looks good.

The latest dumb, useless indictment of an individual or entity that will never see the inside of a US court room. 🙄😴😴😴

I agree. It does seem rather stupid and useless. It's kind of like Phil Bredesen saying he would vote for Kavanaugh if he were a senator.

Nothing will ever happen to the Russian indicted, and Bredesen will never cast a confirmation vote for Kavanaugh.

If the Trump Camp is not "guilty" of a "crime", It should at least to serve as a benchmark as to what kind of outside influence (money) that has invaded our democracy, politics, institutions, and internet.

“According to allegations in the criminal complaint, Elena Alekseevna Khusyaynova, 44, of St. Petersburg, Russia, served as the chief accountant of “Project Lakhta,” a Russian umbrella effort funded by Russian oligarch Yevgeniy Viktorovich Prigozhin and two companies he controls, Concord Management and Consulting LLC, and Concord Catering. Project Lakhta includes multiple components, some involving domestic audiences within the Russian Federation and others targeting foreign audiences in the United States, members of the European Union, and Ukraine, among others.”

“Khusyaynova allegedly managed the financing of Project Lakhta operations, including foreign influence activities directed at the United States. The financial documents she controlled include detailed expenses for activities in the United States, such as expenditures for activists, advertisements on social media platforms, registration of domain names, the purchase of proxy servers, and “promoting news postings on social networks.” Between January 2016 and June 2018, Project Lakhta’s proposed operating budget totaled more than $35 million, although only a portion of these funds were directed at the United States. Between January and June 2018 alone, Project Lakhta’s proposed operating budget totaled more than $10 million.”

So dude breaks the law and then gets out of serious time by selling out the criminals that he sold IDs to. If we would stop letting everyone off with a slap on the wrist, then maybe people would think twice before doing things like this.

Thats been awhile. He might have got off easy. He would probably be in protective custody if we had any of the Russians captured. Unless Interpol catches them, They gone.
