Need a podcast that's just Paul Manafort and Wayne LaPierre talking about how to spend gigantic sums on clothing.
(Also, contra this article, LaPierre could spend that money without having "needed a fleet of assistants to get out the door" if he spent it on bespoke suits.)
Yeah there it is. LaPierre reportedly spent the money at a Zegna boutique. Zegna suits reach $5450 each *off the rack*, gotta assume much more for bespoke.

In the final installment in our series on Fox News' Seth Rich story, I detail where the network's conspiracy theorists are now. No one has been publicly disciplined, and several of those responsible were subsequently promoted: mediamatters.org/blog/2019/05/1…
MALIA ZIMMERMAN wrote the FoxNews.com story on Seth Rich the network eventually retracted. She still apparently works at Fox, though she hasn't published anything there since August 2017.
GREG WILSON reportedly edited Zimmerman's story, rushing to publish it because the network was being scooped. He was later promoted to managing editor of FoxNews.com

This post from December 6 is holding up extremely well: "Fox is going to love Trump attorney general pick William Barr." mediamatters.org/blog/2018/12/0…
"Fox News' leading propagandists have been begging for President Donald Trump to install an attorney general who will turn their conspiracy theories into federal investigations. With William P. Barr... they may finally get their wish."
"Trump and his Fox supporters want an AG who shares their authoritarian view of the law as a constraint on the president’s enemies but not his allies. It seems unlikely that the president’s eventual pick won’t fit that bill -- and Barr's recent comments suggest he would."

The timeline details everything we know about how FoxNews.com came to publish and retract its original story, how it fell apart, and who pushed it on Fox's airwaves then and since. All the ghoulish details are here.

One bright note from this report: please enjoy @ChuckLane1, on Fox's Special Report days after the network retracted its Seth Rich story, relentlessly dunking on conservatives who push Rich conspiracies while the rest of the panel sits there awkwardly and James Rosen squirms.
@ChuckLane1 This happened twice over the course of the same panel discussion. Just brutal.

Swedbank Laundering Case Explodes With Alleged Manafort Link

Swedish bank allegedly gave misleading information to U.S.

Bank’s headquarters in Stockholm were raided on Wednesday bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Paul Manafort was among those to have received suspicious payments made through the Stockholm-based lender, the SVT network reported on Wednesday, amid intensifying scrutiny of Russian cash that passed through the bank’s Estonian unit.
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
📌The bank’s headquarters were raided by Sweden’s Economic Crime Authority, as part of a probe into whether it breached insider info rules by giving its biggest shareholders advance notice of an SVT report on money laundering that was broadcast on Feb. 20.

And we're underway. #Manafort
Judge ABJ: there are no factual disputes to resolve but several legal issues to determine - whether to apply an adjustment for acceptance of responsibility and an enhancement for a leadership role in the offense.
Judge ABJ says she received lots of letters from Manafort's friends and family. "I want you to know that I appreciate all the letters and I've read them all."

“Manafort may have gotten off easy with four years, but Ellis threw the book at Jefferson.  In 2009 Ellis sentenced Jefferson to 13 years, the longest sentence of any Congressman to that date.” forbes.com/sites/charlest…

Manafort, seated in a wheelchair and clad in a green prison jumpsuit during the hearing, spoke of the hardship he has faced as a prime figure in the high-profile Mueller investigation. “He has lived an otherwise blameless life.”

The Trump administration’s efforts to fast track transfer of nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia enjoyed the assistance of a lobbying firm Prime Policy Group (PPG), that represented Ukraine’s then pro-Russian government. #Manafort #Stone #Black

Paul Manafort was a "sex addict" who made his wife have sex with other men while he watched. His daughters were not please, his wife hated it.
