Paul Manafort Teamed Up With Obama’s Lawyer to Help Putin Ally

The "ties to Russia" investigations are uncovering more possibilities that this fella Paul Manafort may be playing both sides of the controversies.

Seems he had some lawyers with ties to the last Administration working on some "Russian" related secret stuff in Ukraine!!

Stories of influence peddling and major sums of money under the table.

! "Guilty by acceptance and association" !


Paul Manafort Teamed Up With Obama’s Lawyer to Help Putin Ally

As the examination of pro-Kremlin influence-peddling continues, Democrats are coming under scrutiny, too.

It wasn’t just Republicans.
When Paul Manafort needed a powerful D.C. law firm to bless an alarming act by his clients in Kiev’s pro-Kremlin regime in Kiev, Donald Trump’s future campaign chairman turned to attorneys with significant ties to Barack Obama’s administration.

In exchange, a team led by Obama’s former White House counsel Greg Craig at the firm of Skadden Arps produced a report that whitewashed the pro-Putin government of Viktor Yanukovych for jailing Yanukovych’s anti-Kremlin predecessor. Manafort consulted for Yanukovych’s Party of Regions. And they did it all for roughly $13,000—a conspicuously small amount for top lawyers at a prestigious law firm. (Prosecutors in Ukraine have reportedly alleged a million dollars more in secret payments.)

It's not a surprise that he was working any and all sides to this .There seems to be lots of bands of criminals trying to take over from other criminals using other bands of criminals to do so . Choosing between any of them to represent of get in bed with would be like unprotected sex at a brothel in Singapore ...good luck with that eh !

wouldn't it be a kick in the teeth to see that Trump was about the only one NOT working with the Russians.
I'd say that's an impeachable offence.

Impeachable or "Impeccable".

I dunno. Have we found an actual law that may have been broken? We already know that the Democrats were working with most of the same people.

And?

Teamed up with a lawyer that worked for or had ties to Obama.
So what?
Does that somehow implicate Obama?

Washington lawyers have lots and lots of clients

To attach any significance on any of those clients to each other is just silly.

That would require a miracle since we already have evidence he was.

Why isn't anyone talking about trump tower Moscow?
The deal he was working on while campaigning . Hmmmm?
Or how now even Maniforts lawyers are being subpoenaed? His lawyers!
