Communist New York Preps Charges For Paul Manafort in Case President Trump Pardons Him


Paul Manafort

According to a new report by Bloomberg, New York prosecutors have put together a criminal case against Trump’s former campaign chair Paul Manafort that they could quickly file if Trump were to issue him a presidential pardon.

It is clear that Robert Mueller and now the criminal and corrupt prosecutors out of New York want Paul Manafort to die in prison.

Last Friday, Robert Mueller issued a sentencing memo recommending Paul Manafort, who will turn 70 in April, serve between 19.5 to 24.5 years in prison.

But this isn’t enough – if Paul Manafort were to be issued a presidential pardon, the Communist thugs in New York are ready with plan B.

Bloomberg reported:

New York County District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. is ready to file an array of tax and other charges against Manafort, according to two people familiar with the matter, something seen as an insurance policy should the president exercise his power to free the former aide. Skirting laws that protect defendants from being charged twice for the same offense has been one of Vance’s challenges.

Prosecutors in Vance’s office began investigating Manafort in 2017, months before Mueller charged him with conspiracy, failure to file reports of foreign bank accounts and failure to register as an agent of a foreign country, activities stemming from his earlier work for Ukraine. Mueller’s team followed up with more charges of bank fraud, filing false tax returns and failure to file reports of foreign bank accounts in early 2018.

At the state level, Vance is preparing an array of criminal charges. While their full extent isn’t clear, they would include evasion of New York taxes and violations of state laws requiring companies to keep accurate books and records, according to one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the investigation is confidential.

Much of the evidence against Manafort has emerged through Mueller’s prosecutions. But Vance’s office can’t cut and paste Mueller’s charges into a state indictment. It must avoid New York’s double jeopardy law, which provides protections for defendants even stronger than those guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution’s Fifth Amendment.

In other words, Paul Manafort should die in prison for the crime of associating with Donald Trump — the crimes Manafort is being charged with were dug up by the criminal and corrupt Andrew Weissmann as revenge.

Last summer a jury in the eastern district of Virginia convicted Paul Manafort on 8 counts of bank and tax fraud. Manafort also pleaded to two felonies and entered a plea deal with the government and promised to cooperate.

The corrupt and criminal Obama-appointed Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled last week that Paul Manafort intentionally lied to Mueller and the FBI and voided his plea deal.

Paul Manafort also faces an additional maximum of 10 years in prison on the two felonies counts, reported CBS News.

What is happening to Paul Manafort should frighten every American. He was thrown into solitary confinement for the same ‘crimes’ Tony Podesta committed (failing to file a FARA form) yet Tony Podesta was allowed to retroactively file a FARA form for his work in Ukraine then he was given immunity.

How is the US any different from a banana republic with a two-tiered justice system?
