Lawyers for Trump’s disgraced former campaign chairman, who was convicted of tax and bank fraud last year, submitted a filing in Washington, D.C., federal court responding to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s assertion that Manafort had lied to Mueller’s office and so violated his plea agreement. Manafort’s lawyers pushed back on that claim by saying that he had extensively cooperated with Mueller, meeting with the government lawyers and investigators a dozen times and twice testifying before a grand jury.
But Manafort’s team screwed up.
They tried to redact four different passages in their filing, but failed to do so properly, leaving the redacted text in plain sight. For instance, Manafort’s lawyers responded to Mueller’s allegation that Manafort lied to the government about his interactions with a man named Konstantin Kilimnik, who was Manafort’s right-hand man during his time as a powerful political consultant in Ukraine. What’s more noteworthy is that Kilimnik has alleged connections to Russian intelligence.----MORE----

manafort had a conversation with a person with a Russian name?
treason send him to prison.
please tell me that the key fact indicating the entire "collusion" bollsheet investigation was that Manafort employed a Russian_?
If Manafort was working at that level wouldn't a person with ties in every direction be exactly the right person to have in that capacity?
was he supposed to know no one of influence or intelligence_?
This habit of hysteric mud slinging and journalistic extremes in ridiculous. Manafoet has dark hair. Does that mean that all dark haired Russian intelligence agents report to him?
I bet he bought a boiled fish once in.his life too. Dies that mean the fish market mafia

Alleged is a great word, isn't it?
Allows for all that doubt without any actual fault...
Does the article go on to name the allegations and sources for said allegations?

Manafort's own supposed defense attorney in a court briefing accidentally exposed the allegations and sources for said allegations (himself), which makes for a strong case of collusion. Good points, Bob.

case of collusion? no law against collusion so where's the fire?
Collusion is actually when two entities who control a monopoly exploit control of said monopoly against third party buyers bidders or corporations.
not even close to a legal reality.
a and Manafort controlled no monopoly with any russians.
and since this was all pre-trump it affects any made up nonsense involving Trump not at all.
Where is the billionaire circulating the petition to wasting taxpayer money and end the Mueller's witch hunt once and for all.
