Manafort sentencing memo, here: documentcloud.org/documents/5747…
Those Manafort duped, per the sentencing memo, included “Members of Congress, and members of the executive branch of the United States government."
“For over a decade, Manafort repeatedly and brazenly violated the law. His crimes continued up through the time he was first indicted in Oct. 2017 and remarkably went unabated even after indictment.”
After a first read, there doesn’t appear to be much new ground broken in the Manafort sentencing memo. But: It’s a reminder that one of President Trump’s key advisors during the earliest days of his 2016 bid was on Eastern European clients‘ payroll & serviced Russian interests
And the memo reminds that Manafort committed crimes in broad, lengthy strokes; some "were committed while under a spotlight due to his work as the campaign chairman and, later, while he was on bail from this Court."
