That’s good!
Oh, Paul… just what are you up to now?
“JUST IN: U.S. Special Counsel Mueller says ex-Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort has attempted to tamper with potential witness - court filing”
This may explain Dotards latest freak-out.
Bye, bye, Paul. (Reuters)
Figured this was coming sooner or later.
(Emphasis mine.)
ETA: Ninja’d by JohnT. (Curse you!) 
This pretty much sums it up:
“So Manafort sent encrypted messages to former employees to encourage them to make “materially false” claims about his lobbying for pro-Russian Ukrainian politicians. While under house arrest!”
Manafort will look good in an orange jumpsuit…
Would asahi and Happy Lendervedder and whoever else is hijacking this thread please take your cage match to its own thread?
Pretty much everything they’re doing now smacks of desperation to me.
How could Manafort be so dumb after they already caught him violating the judge’s gag order? I thought the judge would revoke his bail then. She will surely do it now, I think.
Well, he’s only a little late for the wishes of the Parkland kids.
Here (PDF) is Mueller’s court filing. Looks like they caught him contacting the European diplomats he hired to lobby on behalf of Ukraine - the “Hapsburg Group”. Wanting them to say that none of the lobbying was in the US.
Sorry, wrong PDF - above link is to the FBI agent’s filing in support.

This is why Trump was trying to distance himself from Manafort for the last couple of days.
That can’t be true. Trump would never knowingly receive information that wasn’t publicly released yet. We know how much he hates leaks.
Papadopoulis’ fiancé was just on Tucker Carlson asking for a pardon for him.
This article (warning: newsmax) identifies her as his wife. My but how she goes on and on and on about how very, very innocent he is.
I strongly disagree. We should lock him up and throw away the key as punishment for all the evil he has done.
Papadopoulos, on the other hand, I don’t mind cutting a deal for.
When you say you wouldn’t mind cutting a deal for Papadopoulos do you mean a plea deal or a pardon? He already got the former. The latter is just a giant signal to all other witnesses to not cooperate with the investigation.
Mostly I was just making a joke about locking up Tucker Carlson.
To paraphrase Manafort’s line about Hillary: LOCK HIM UP!
Or let him build (at his own expense) a Faraday cage around his house.
Was that Manafort’s line? I remember Trump and Flynn Sr chanting that one.
You might be right. All these crooks look alike to me. He did defend the use of the phrase at the convention, but he may not have been known for chanting it himself. So to Paul M I offer the very minimum of apologies.
