Rachel Maddow Warns Trump That Second Paul Manafort Trial Could Do Cohen-Level Damage
Maddow said:
In the next trial for Manafort, he is going on trial for being an unregistered agent of a foreign power while he was running Donald Trump’s campaign to become president.
His co-defendant
for some of the charges that he’s about to face in his next trial is his Russian-speaking, Soviet-born, longtime business partner who the FBI says is linked to Russian intelligence and
who is believed by prosecutors to have fled to Moscow ahead of him being charged alongside Paul Manafort with some of the felony charges that have led to this next trial that Manafort is about face.
Old bank fraud and tax fraud charges back in the day? Okay.
But being a secret foreign agent running a presidential campaign and
committing felonies in cahootz with your Russian-speaking,
Russian military intelligence-linked business partner as recently as this year?
That’s going to be a different kind of case.
And we don’t know if the president has anything to worry about in terms of what may come out in that second trial of Paul Manafort, or
if the president has anything to worry about
if Manafort, in fact, decides to change his mind and start cooperating with prosecutors in order to lessen his prison time and the pending charges against him.
We do not know if the president has anything to worry about.
But the Manafort case is the one case that is actually being tried by the special counsel’s office,
that the special counsel’s office has held onto to prosecute itself with its own personnel
the next Manafort trial could do even more legal damage to Trump as it relates directly to his former campaign manager’s work as a foreign agent during the 2016 election.
It could provide similarly damning links to Trump as the Cohen case revealed.
Donald Trump may be showering Paul Manafort with praise after the first trial,
but he may be getting the Cohen treatment when all is said and done.
