NEW: The Judge has explained what Paul Manafort's cooperation will entail: Manafort will meet with special counsel prosecutors without his lawyers for interviews & briefings, turn over documents, and testify at other proceedings.
@Delavegalaw @Mimirocah1 @Kris_Sacrebleu #Maddow
Manafort attended the Jun 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Don Jr, Jared Kushner, and the Kremlin informant promising dirt on Hillary Clinton – and would know if Trump had advance knowledge of the meeting & whether he met with the Russians that day.
#Maddow
See Paul Manafort's plea agreement with US Special Counsel Robert Mueller prosecutors [which includes cooperation] here: scribd.com/document/38861…
@Delavegalaw @Mimirocah1 @maddow
Manafort charging document: Manafort privately coordinated with an unnamed senior Israeli official to spread fake news, which Breitbart published with the headline: "Jewish Leaders Blame Hillary Clinton For 'Legitimizing' Ukraine's Neo-Nazi Party."
#Maddow
ICYMI by @lukeharding1968 in Apr: Starting in 2011, Manafort [with help from Person D1 & D2] ran a “black ops” media campaign for Yanukovych featuring planted stories in the press & 'anonymous' smears in Breitbart against Hillary Clinton.
#Maddow
Manafort pleaded guilty to, among other things, directing a foreign-funded smear campaign against Hillary Clinton for "not being sufficiently pro-Russia," dating back to 2011. Any wonder that Trump hired Manafort to run his campaign?

Leonid Teyf, a wealthy Russian national living in NC accused of money laundering and plotting a murder-for-hire, has ties to Russian oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin ["Putin's chef"], who was indicted by Mueller election tampering.

NEW ––> Trump admin makes FALSE case for crisis at border, laying foundation for Trump to declare a PHONY national emergency to build his useless wall. [FIFY, @PhilipRucker]

If there's such a crisis, why didn't Trump use all of the money he was allotted for the wall last year?

To avoid questions, Mark Harris, GOP candidate at the center of NC's disputed 9th District race which is in limbo over voter fraud allegations [against Harris' campaign], ran out an emergency exit, set off the fire alarm, and then sped away in a waiting car. WTAF 😂
omg
My bad. Mark Harris, who's under investigation for unprecedented election fraud perpetrated by his campaign, didn't speed away in a waiting car tonight – that happened when he was fleeing from reporters last month too. omfg 😂

Remember how prosecutors accused Paul Manafort of breaching his plea deal? His lawyers are due to file a response today about that — recall that at a Dec. 11 hearing, Manafort's lawyers said they needed more time to decide if they agreed or not with the govt's claims re: lying
There's no time deadline on this filing due today from Manafort's lawyer, so it could come at any time before midnight, which is always fun
For a refresher on what prosecutors accused Manafort of lying about after he signed his plea deal and was supposed to be cooperating with the government (including allegations that he lied about contacts with Trump admin officials): buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

12:11pm #Manafort told the judge: "I plead guilty."

Paul Manafort enters cooperation agreement with Justice Department cnn.com/2018/09/14/pol…
The #Manafort plea agreement includes
▪interviews with #Mueller
▪briefings with the office of Special Counsel
▪turning over documents related to Trump
▪testifying in other proceedings

That last will most directly impact Donald Trump Jr.

Now would be the time for a pardon.
Trump really has no concern for anyone. His oldest child is now threatened and nothing.

Trump always knew #Manafort could put Don Jr. in prison next to him and he dangled the hint of a pardon, but that's all.

Manafort's plea doesn't hurt Trump, but it sure hurts Jr.
Huh.

New tonight: The Justice Dept. has asked a judge to toss out Paul Manafort's lawsuit challenging special counsel Mueller's appointment. How do they start? By arguing that Mueller "is properly operating within the scope of his authority" assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4365…
DOJ begins by defending how Mueller has handled the investigation so far, but the government is arguing the judge shouldn't even get there -- that Manafort shouldn't be allowed to use a civil suit to challenge a criminal prosecution assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4365…
DOJ: "[Paul] Manafort has an adequate forum in which to raise his arguments — the underlying criminal action." assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4365…
