Mueller asked the EDVA judge to give **#immunity to 5 potential witnesses** who will testify at Manafort’s bank-#fraud trial starting July 25, but ONLY if they get immunity‼️ 1/

#MuellerTime

Mueller didn’t identify the FIVE witnesses who ROLLED on Manafort👉🏼have NOT been charged and would plead the Fifth & remain silent unless granted #immunity (they got a VERY good deal). Their names will be made public only if they are called to testify.🤔 2/

#MuellerTime
These 5 witnesses who got a deal have ties to the BANK-FRAUD and other charges against Manafort. So who are they⁉️

It's NOT Rick Gates (he was CHARGED & pleaded GUILTY). These five witnesses have NOT been charged.🤔 3/

#MuellerTime
As @SpicyFiles noted, 2 witnesses likely are:

~Jeffrey Yohai (Manafort's ex-son-in-law) who is known to have gotten a deal in a #MoneyLaundering & #BankFraud case involving Manafort

~Steven Calk, who provided the alleged FRAUDULENT mortgages

4/
Other witnesses who got #immunity deals may include:

Tony Podesta & Vin Weber (Mercury) whose lobbying firms were unnamed in Manafort's #indictment👉🏼worked for a shady nonprofit (#Ukraine) & were paid via Manafort’s OFFSHORE account w/o filing #FARA. 5/
These #immunity deals for FIVE witnesses are VERY bad news for Manafort.

Paulie Walnuts had better ROLL on @realDonaldTrump, or else he will NEVER walk free.😎

/end

#MuellerTime
#TrumpRussia

🔥In summary, here are potential (not confirmed) witnesses who got IMMUNITY deals in the EDVA trial against Manafort, due to start July 25:

Jeffrey Yohai
Steven Calk
Tony Podesta
Vin Weber

Recall that Mercury's Vin Weber is a @GOP former congressman who joined Manafort for his meeting w/@DanaRohrabacher (R-Moscow🇷🇺) about #Ukraine.

Gates pleaded GUILTY for LYING about this meeting‼️😎

I’ve run for Congress and worked on several of my husband’s campaigns. INTERNAL poll data are closely guarded.

Yet Trump’s highly experienced campaign chair (Manafort) willfully gave this VERY sensitive info to a #Russian🇷🇺spy (Kilimnik) with #GRU👉🏼hacked the #DNC.

@thespybrief
If the #Russians🇷🇺 stole @HillaryClinton’s voter file AND had @realDonaldTrump’s internal polling data, they would know which voters to target with specific messages.
Add in the stolen #Facebook and other data, plus Trump’s voter file, and #Russia🇷🇺and others (PsyGroup, Cambridge Analytica, etc) literally would have EVERYTHING needed to microtarget voters very specifically and highly effectively.🤨

💣BOOM💣

The Feds have emails exchanged btwn #Russian🇷🇺lawyer/spy Natalya Veselnitskaya & the #Russian🇷🇺Prosecutor General’s (“Crown Prosecutor”) office.😎

Rob Goldstone offered HRC dirt from the SAME #Russian🇷🇺Prosecutor via Veselnitskaya.

@thespybrief
documentcloud.org/documents/5677…
This SAME #Russian🇷🇺lawyer was charged today with #ObstructionOfJustice by US prosecutors in its #MoneyLaundering case against #Prevezon

Veselnitskaya also helped recruit a Swiss DOUBLE AGENT overseeing Swiss #MoneyLaundering cases of #Russian🇷🇺mobsters.

Just *days* after Trump fired @PreetBharara (led SDNY who was prosecuting #Prevezon), Trump’s DOJ abruptly settled their ROCK-SOLID $230 million #MoneyLaundering case and gave #Prevezon a sweetheart ~$6 million settlement.🙄

In emails to “former” #Russian🇷🇺spy Konstantin Kilimnik, Paul Manafort offered Oleg Deripaska “private briefings” on Trump’s campaign to “get whole.” Manafort’s Moscow contact “our friend V” now revealed as ANOTHER “former” #Russian🇷🇺spy Victor Boyarkin.🙄
mag.time.com/Eq15rGo
“Former” #Russian🇷🇺spy Boyarkin says his acquaintance with Manafort goes back to 2006, when Deripaska asked them to help Montenegro achieve independence in the Balkans.🤨

cc @thespybrief

During the 2016 campaign, Boyarkin says it fell to him to collect the $19 million debt that Manafort owed Deripaska. “I came down on him hard.”🤔

Manafort was broke, so instead of money, he offered “private briefings” to Deripaska via Boyarkin to “get whole.”🙄

THREAD: A long litany of assumptions by well-meaning speculators who conduct helpful grassroots research, but are making some of the identical mistake as those who misread the Clinton email investigation made, errors born of a lack of professional experience in criminal defense.
Mistake #1: assuming the existence of FBI or DOJ activity equals a criminal investigation w/ intent to indict. This is *especially* true in political inquiries often meant to *prevent* a real criminal investigation, not conduct one. See Clinton email inquiry as classic example.
Mistake #2: assuming an indictment into a potential participant in the hoped-for investigation means there is a broad-scale investigation of everything that company did. That is actually rare. Indeed, existence of a public indictment usually means NO secret separate case to come.

The Manafort filing has been released. It is largely redacted, which is interesting. Read the article..My takeaway from both filings today is that Mueller is closing in, but that he's far from finished. #FridayFeeling

Manafort Trial Day 8: We don't know much about who is up next on the stand. The govt said they anticipated 8 more witnesses, and expected to still be done with their case in chief by the end of the week. Stay tuned. On what went down yesterday: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Prosecutors just filed a motion for a "curative instruction" — yesterday, in front of the jury, the judge had gotten upset that a govt witness sat in on the trial, which the judge said he usually did not permit. But the govt said the judge prev. okay'd it scribd.com/document/38581…
There have been a number of tense exchanges between the judge and prosecutors — some in front of the jury, some not — but this is the first time the govt has asked for an instruction like this. They argue the court incorrectly suggested to the jury the govt "acted improperly"

Judge TS Ellis denies Manafort request to be released from jail for trial. ⚖️
Manafort jury selected and list of ‘Exhibits’ released by the prosecutors from Special Counsel Mueller office.
"A man in this courtroom believed the law did not apply to him, not tax law, not banking law," Asonye said as he sketched out the evidence gathered by special counsel Robert Mueller's team in Manafort's bank fraud and tax evasion trial.

#Manafort trial postponed.

Was scheduled to begin this Wednesday, the 25th. Now it will begin on Tuesday the 31st.

No reason cited for the delay.

reuters.com/article/us-usa…
See below and also my mentions in response to the linked tweet for possible explanations for the delay.

#BREAKING

James Brennan, Donna Duggan, Conor O”Brien, Cindy Laporta, and Dennis Raico are the FIVE WITNESSES for whom Mueller sought immunity.

The judge has granted immunity.

Has the judge has also compelled them to testify, since they were refusing?

🚨 MUELLER ASKS MANAFORT JUDGE TO GIVE IMMUNITY TO FIVE WITNESSES (@business)
.@business: Special Counsel Robert Mueller asked a judge to give immunity to five people who may testify at next week’s bank-fraud trial of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort
.@business: Mueller did not identify the five witnesses on a court filing Tuesday. He said the five are likely to invoke their right against self-incrimination if they don’t receive immunity. Their names will only be made public if they are called to testify, he said.
