Liberals haven't figured out the crimes involving the Hapsburg Group yet. Manafort ended up in jail because he & Manafort tried to tamper with witnesses to conceal the Hapsburg Group lobbying in the US. Who did they lobby? Obama & Biden!
Remember this illegally lobbying & laundering the money was to use Tony Podesta & Vin Weber to influence Congress & various sections of the Obama Administration!
This is using a group of European officials & former officials to influence the EU & the US. Manafort asked these witness to say they only lobbied in Europe not the US. Mueller included an incident of lobbying Obama & Biden in the Oval Office to prove it happened in the US
Ouch, it looks like Mueller's team is reminding Manafort that because he violated the plea agreement by lying, that his admissions in the guilty plea can be used against him to retry him on the mistrial tax evasion counts in the EDVA case.
Manafort & his lobbyists violated FISA to avoid reporting which govt. officials they were lobbying & their deceptive efforts to do it. This included members of Congress & senior officials in the Obama Admin.
IIRC, this was whee Manafort smeared Hillary to try & manipulate Obama.
Well that redacted line has to include the Podesta Group & Mercury, LLC because they focused repeatedly in the indictments. But it looks like there may be a few other lobbyists we haven't seen before under that black ink.
Just a reminder to the judge that Manafort knows he's a Swamp Rat. Since DOJ busted him in 1985-85 for being a lobbyist in a position to lobby himself as a govt. official. Director of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation!
Not only violating FARA but getting the lobbyists to go along with the scheme. I'm sure it wasn't difficult or unusual to get a lobbyists to fail to reports lobbying activities!
Here is the illegal lobbying through Podesta & Mercury LLC. & the money laundering to conceal that they were working for Ukraine!
Illegally lobbying dozens of members of Congress, their Staff, the Obama Admin, & the Clinton/Kerry State Dept. Backroom Congressional deals & using confidential information on members of Congress to lobby them?
This outlines where Gates' emails proved that both Podesta & Weber knew they were working for Ukraine not some random 'center'. Making their retroactive FARA registrations false, exposing them to more criminal exposure.
This is new, to me at least. Someone else got paid $1M dollars but they are redacted from this document.
There is information about the Skaaden report & lobbying efforts, but I think this is new. That Skaaden's lead partner told Manafort in writing that the report was complete BS.
That partner is probably Greg Craig, former Clinton lawyer & Obama's first White House Counsel. His firm Skaaden has admitted to all of the crimes involved & agreed to cooperate against Craig & anyone else involved.
Mueller redacts the countries & names of the Hapsburg Group players but they include former Austrian Chancellor Alfred Gusenbauer, former Polish President Aleksander Kwaśniewski, and former Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi.
The group was run or fronted by former Wall Street Journal reporter Alan Friedman, wonder if he has any relationship with Fusion GPS friends who worked at WSJ too!
The 4th Hapsburg official not named is a senior Turkish official whose name I can't recall at the moment. He accompanied President Erdogan to the Oval Office to lobby Obama & Biden about Ukraine.
Former Polish President Aleksander Kwaśniewski was a Representative of the European Parliment dealing with Ukraine & was passing intelligence information on EU positions to Manafort who was giving it to Ukraine.
Concealed the the EU's representative opposed to the Durbin Resolution in the Senate was being paid by Manafort for Ukraine to help Putin's pal in Ukraine.
This was released this fall, but it is a key thing the media is overlooking. Manafort did have an impact upon the President, they just forget that Obama was the President in 2013!
Someone who helped Manafort lobby is redacted here....

Manafort personally meeting with a Member of Congress whose committee was dealing with Ukraine. There's some Swamp for you!
Yeah, this is gonna hurt....
For more details on the Hapsburg Group, this article was based of an 'accidentally' unredacted version Mueller's team filed. It may indicate someone trying to send warnings out, but it could just be a screw up. buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
An article on the White House meeting arranged by Manafort to convince Obama that the way to stop Putin was to make sure Putin's pain in Ukraine won the election. politico.com/story/2018/09/…
The 4th member of the Hapsburg Group that worked for Manafort is one of these Turkish officials who was with Erdogan for the meeting!
