Manafort held passports and accounts under a fake name
2017-11-02
[NYPOST] Paul Manafort, the former campaign manager for President Trump, owns several US passports, used a phone and email account registered under a fake name and provided varying estimates of his wealth, federal investigators said in court documents to show he is a flight risk.

Manafort and his longtime business associate Rick Gates surrendered Monday after they were hit with a 12-count indictment that includes charges of conspiracy against the United States, tax fraud and money laundering stemming from their work for a Ukrainian politician who had close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The court filings from special counsel Robert Mueller’s team of investigators probing Moscow meddling in the 2016 election reveal that Manafort, 68, had three passports and had submitted applications for 10 more over the last few years.

#8  This is a giant waste of time and treasure. It's a sideshow.
Muller is a clown and is more corrupt than those Whom he investigates by 100 times.

We need a special counsel to investigate the special counsel.

All this crap happened before Trump even decided to run.

DC is disgusting.

#7  Mueller... hmm where have I heard that name. Scrubbing the FBI and DHS of any actions offensive to Islam under Obama, thats it!

Tell me again why this corrupt man Mueller has any presumption of integrity?

#6  Funny how with the left you barely ever hear the details in the charges, but you hear the "disproving" info in the news. Quite the opposite with someone in the hate-scope of the left.

How did our supposedly free press come to this?

#5  Their defense attorneys filed an answer today which went a long way in discrediting almost all of the charges.
