BREAKING: Trump transition official Paul Erickson indicted for wire fraud and money laundering thedailybeast.com/paul-erickson-…
Feds were allegedly considering indicting Erickson on "espionage-light" charges relating to Russia... He appears to have escaped those charges, at least for now.
Indictment makes clear that Erickson laundered some money to pay for Butina's college, which completely destroys the narrative that he had pushed about the mysterious "Bridges LLC" which was to pay for Butina's college...
Erickson took out $14,000 in laundered money when Butina and the NRA were in Moscow:

As House Intelligence Democrats begin their investigation into Trump laundering Russian money, it’s important to remember that the same Cypriot lawyer managed the assets of both the Panama law firm that advised Trump in ‘09 & Moscow developer in ‘15 & ‘16 link.medium.com/fskbmPlsiU
The Cypriot lawyer is notorious for his high profile Russian clients, so what was he doing managing the $ of an entity involved in Trump Panama?
If the answer is “laundering Russian money” then House Dems would be wise to question Vassiliades and his employees.

William Barr's son-in-law is joining the White House Counsel. That seems... Inappropriate? cnn.com/2019/02/13/pol…
So the ONE person who is going to receive Mueller's report now will have a family member with Trump's ear.
What would say about that if it happened in another country?

NEW: Judge rules that Manafort lied to Mueller on three of the five instances - including the most important one - interactions with Konstantin Kilimnik.
This means that Manafort has breached his plea agreement and is subject to the full penalty of the law.
Judge rulings:

Manafort lied about:
-his interactions with Kilimnik in 2016 and 2017
-the "other DOJ investigation"
-the $125k Super PAC payment
Mueller failed to prove:
-Manafort lied about Kilmnik's role in obstruction.
-Manafort lied about his contacts with Trump admin

#kleptocracy is a name we need to use more. Let's call the Trump admin what it is. Trump has proven NAMING someone or something has a lot of power. Witness Sen. Elizabeth Warren stumbling early in her race because Trump named her *Pocahontas.*

@TrickFreee @WillBenton1
Witness the power of the names, "Fake News." "Crooked Hillary," etc. You can't deny the power of *naming* our foe or the actions of our foe. #Kleptocracy isn't used enough-it isn't even a recognized hash tag when you type it into a tweet. Let's get it trending. #IndictTrump
#Kleptocracy Paul Erickson, a Republican political operative & boyfriend of accused Russian spy Maria Butina, was indicted in the federal court in SD on 11 counts of wire fraud and money laundering. #Erickson cbsn.ws/2Sgaf7p

@GOP operative Paul Erickson—boyfriend of convicted #Russian🇷🇺spy Maria Butina — INDICTED on 11 federal counts, including wire #fraud and money laundering.

Butina cooperated in the investigation AGAINST Erickson, who PAID her college tuition.🤣

Erickson helped arrange a secret backchannel between #Russia🇷🇺and **key @GOP leaders**, including @realDonaldTrump’s campaign.🔥

How many people in the #GOP are FREAKING OUT, now that Erickson is in the barrel⁉️

🔥WHOA🔥

@SpicyFiles has been ALL OVER the Erickson-#Russian🇷🇺honeypot saga.

According to court documents, Erickson’s case involves MULTIPLE defendants, most likely #NRA officials, who traveled to #Russia🇷🇺on a #treason junket.

#BREAKING >> Paul ERICKSON, Russian Agent Maria Butina’s Boyfriend & Republican/NRA Operative, INDICTED for Fraud & Money Laundering, by a federal grand jury in South Dakota today. New report from @woodruffbets @ErinBanco thedailybeast.com/paul-erickson-… #TrumpRussia
Paul #Erickson, already mixed up in Russia probe, is charged with 11 counts of wire fraud and money laundering. Butina's boyfriend faces a maximum penalty of up to 20 years in federal prison for each count in the indictment. rapidcityjournal.com/news/local/eri…
#Erickson indictment shows several payments to "M.B." presumably Maria Butina. One for $8000 on June 24, 2015—just a few weeks before the FreedomFest conference in Nevada at which Butina turned up & got Trump to say if he were president, sanctions on Russia would be gone. #Maddow
