#BREAKING Disastrous ruling for #Manafort: Judge Berman finds Manafort "intentionally" made material false statements to Mueller, FBI and the Grand Jury, ruling he is in breach of plea agreement. So Mueller no longer bound by it either. assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5737… h/t @MikeScarcella
Judge: Trump's campaign chair Manafort "intentionally made multiple false statements to the FBI, the OSC, and the grand jury concerning matters that were material to the investigation: his interactions and communications with Kilimnik."
Manafort lied to cover-up no collusion😉

Trump doesn't delegate. He's a hands-on control freak—an autocrat in short. He chose Manafort not b/c GOP knew him but b/c Manafort knew Russians. Trump's long been surrounded by Russians & Ru money. Still wanted on Moscow tower in 2016! He knew & wanted contact w/Russia. #Maddow
Trump cultivates a "dumb guy" persona. But he's not as dumb as he looks. Sure, he's ignorant. But he's also cunning & uses ignorance to cover a lot of bad conduct. He's a con. Cons think they're smarter than everyone, can pull off anything. He has—til Mueller

🔥@Mimirocah1: Manafort’s core lies were about Kilimnik: 1) discussing Ukraine “peace plan” ie Russia sanctions relief, 2) transferring data to him. That sets off alarms. It’s almost beyond a doubt that Manafort conspired with the Russians. Still a question, protecting whom & why
BTW In hindsight, that huge "Peacemaker Putin" banner during the 2016 election campaign was overt agitprop to accompany all the covert pro-Russia Ukraine "peace" plans Trump's men were hatching with Russians to lift sanctions if/when Trump became president
