Trump replaced him from his campaign so it's another so what no big deal moment. Manafort is a swamp mole that has ties to the Democrats, probably came well recommended by the GOP establishment, and then got fired when Trump realized he was being set up. After he got rid of him he went on to defeat Hillary. Manafort was all pre election, he was fired in the summer the election was in November. As POTUS manafort has no impact on Trump.
Manafort quit when the news came out that his name had popped up in the "Black Ledger." He was with the campaign from March. By May, he was running the campaign. He resigned in August. He ran the campaign longer than Bannon and he was with it like twice as long.
Manafort left the campaign but his partner Rick Gates stuck around. Through the campaign, through the transition, through inauguration, through spring...
Pro-Russian Lobbyist Is Lurking Around the White House
Rick Gates, the longtime lobbying partner of ousted Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, is still making multiple visits to the White House—even though the Trump administration has sought to distance itself from Manafort.
Manafort may be under investigation for alleged Russia ties, and thus persona non grata at the Trump White House. However, his top deputy Gates—who also worked on behalf of Russian interests—has managed to wedge himself back into Trump-world. having landed a sweet new gig with one of President Donald Trump’s best and wealthiest friends.
After leaving the Trump-boosting nonprofit America First Policies in March—as former FBI Director James Comey officially announced an investigation into alleged ties between the Trump campaign team and Russian officials—Gates is now working directly for Tom Barrack, according to eight sources in and around the Trump White House.
This ought to be interesting for those Trump supporters who are hoping that Manafort and Tony Podesta were in cahoots somehow with Clinton as Tucker Carlson is pushing.
Rick Gates is Paul Manafort's long time partner. There's no ambiguity in their relationship. There's no questions of time lines. Also, Tom Barrack is known to be one of Trump's closest friends. What do the call him? "The Trump whisperer" or something like that? He's been employing Manafort's partner and bringing him to the White House for meetings with the President.
Anyone who believes what Carlson is pushing should be a bit concerned with that.
“This is so close to the Oval Office now, if not in the Oval Office, that all of this [dossier news] to me is just background noise to what Mueller is going to deliver,” Kayyem, a former Homeland Security official during the Obama administration, told WGBH Boston. “This is more than an obstruction charge. There is something big underlying the obstruction.”
Many experts believe that Mueller is primarily pursuing a charge of obstruction of justice against Trump, connected to his firing of FBI Director James Comey over what Trump admitted in a televised interview was “the Russia thing.”

They release this info on Friday, to make us stew all weekend. The first charges are probably against leakers of information from the security organizations. The description of what the people are being charged with is seemingly non-existant, so I am getting the idea that MSM is actually withholding something so they can twist people into a frenzy so they will complain when heads don't fly in the Whitehouse.

Well, I'll counter that statement of, "MSM is actually withholding something so they can twist people into a frenzy...", with the media hype, sad it's coming to terms of this nature, in the sense the leaks would have made its way out. There are people literally foaming at the mouth for this information.

No, this isn't about Clinton and uranium. No, this isn't somehow about Obama.
Damn. Some people here aren't just drinking kool aid, ya'll be making it....in your freaking bath tubs.
I'm taking bets and putting up odds on how long it'll be before conservatives start playing the victim card and saying they were duped and voting for a corrupt administration wasn't really their fault.
I got one .999 oz of silver within the next 12 months bet with a buddy. "Cuz, it's a precious metal, and real money!!!" (only way he'd bet with me).

A sitting POTUS can not be indicted or charged by any grand jury, ever.

I am sure that if MSM leaked this, the intelligent agencies would catch the person leaking it. They are possibly trying to set up a sting operation to find leakers. Technically till this is released officialy it would be classified information. That could lead to the arrest of the leaker.
I could actually think of an assortment of things that can be going on here, I know the leakers are a threat to our government, this would be a very good setup to identify them.

Wow you sound like an extremist.
Hillary and Obama must not be looked into. Anyone suggesting that must be opposed at every turn.
I hope you get help.
