Paul Manafort charged by the FBI

The Trump white house may have been wittingly exempted from these fresh Washington political Brouhaha as it involves one of her biggest campaign surrogates Paul Manafort during the 2016 presidential election. Manafort who played a key role during the campaign was made the chairman of the campaign train vis a vis coordinating the delegate process and making sure everything runs out smoothly. Manafort, however, got the bootlick a few months after serving his stay with the Trump team (May-Aug) 2016.

In the usual Trump fashion, Manafort firing was as a result of his low energy with both sliding poll counts and approval rating giving credence to Mr Trump storyline. However, what the white house may have missed explaining was the mainframe behind the true sack of Paul Manafort from the Trump fold.
The former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has been charged with money laundering.
According to Mr Trump in a reaction, he noted thus " This morning, Paul Manafort offered, and I accepted his resignation" I am very appreciative for his great work in helping us get to where we are today".

In a contrary reaction, one of Trump's son noted thus in an interview with Fox news; "My father didn't want the detraction looming over his campaign" Eric Trump noted. 

Paul Manafort who has long been on the radar of investigation got the knuckle Monday 30th, Oct 2017, when the FBI busted the former campaign chairman of the Trump organisation. According to reports, Manafort offered self to the FBI field office in Washington at the early hours of Monday.

Special counsel Robert S. Muller who has been the chief investigative officer in charge of the Trump-Russian collusion took the case to an expansive view when he opened Manafort cans of worms unexpected of on-lookers. Muller whose primary job is to investigate the role Russia played towards influencing the previous election by colluding with top Trump campaign team members, flipped the script Manafort pointing a different dossier of arrangements.

The charges against Manafort alongside longtime business associates Rick Gates represent a symbolic expansion in the special counsel investigation seeking to uncover the dark shadow that marauded the Trump campaign.

According to the charges, Mr Manafort is accused of a highfalutin corruption scandal which he perpetuated with some overseas firm, most especially the Ukranian government. Manafort is said to have laundered huge sums of money unknown to federal authorities to the tune of over $18 million.

Paul Manafort alongside complicit colleagues and partner laundered money totalling into an amount of $75million without paying a single tax on such business initiation.

Amongst these charges includes a massive tax invasion, lying to authorities about his business deals holistically, and providing false documents not reflecting the true picture of his personality. At the time of his business initiation, Paul Manafort had series of undisclosed transfers from various foreign firms(Pseudo names) which he runs overseas, to receiving laundered money from strange personality. Top among Manafort big money spenders was a former Ukranian more frontline, Viktor F. Yanukovych, a Pro Russian party ally who happened to be the Ukranian leader at that time.

Manafort hid part of his laundered money in countries like Cyprus, Grenadines, amongst other foreign banks and financial institutions where he perpetuated his illicit act of complicity.

Alongside Rick Gates, the duo was arraigned before a federal court and all plead admittance to the crime as pointed out by the FBI headed by Special counsel Mueller whose job has been rigorous in uncovering those behind the collusion and complicity towards the Russian probe.

Manafort and Gates are currently under house arrest and from all indication could go in for a length of jail term akin to that of a life sentence.

Just when the Trump team was beginning to distance self from the Manafort storyline, the FBI announced a third party complicit enough to attaching relevance to the Trump white house.

A former adviser George Papadopoulos was found guilty of complicity and lying to federal authority about his engagement with Russian officials. According to the FBI, Papadopoulos met a London-based Professor of diplomacy whose ties with the Kremlin couldn't be anything but cordial. According to reports, the duo had conversations bothering on revealing secret documents about Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Professor Joseph Mifsud engagements with Papadoupolos confirms earlier supposition and discovery by the FBI revealing a secret meeting between one of Trump's son (Jr) alongside current top official Jared Kushner with top class Russian associates at the Trump tower at the heat of the presidential campaign.
