    Observations from Day Two of the Manafort Trial .....

    The second day of U.S. Government vs. Paul Manafort commenced Wednesday at the United States District Court of the East District of Virginia in Alexandria. Judge T.S. Ellis III presided over the trial. Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, is being tried on charges of falsified tax returns and for not revealing his foreign bank accounts. It is alleged that his omitted income comes from his work in Ukrainian elections.


    Before resuming the court’s proceedings for the day, Ellis addressed language that had been used by both legal teams. Lawyers on both sides had used the word “oligarch,” which is defined as an autocratic in control of the government. It is also defined as one who consorts with criminals, of which there is no evidence. “Language has a dynamic aspect; it changes, and I don’t control those changes,” said Ellis.


    The prosecution strategically lined up their witnesses for the day to create a streamline showing evidence of foreign bank accounts established and maintained by Manafort and would later connect these accounts to his personal expenses.


    The rest of the witnesses for the day were vendors similar to Mr. Katzman who had done business with Mr. Manafort and were paid with international wire transfers, as evidence by subpoenaed documents which were seized by the FBI during the search of Manafort’s home......snip~

    Also, the Judge slammed the Mueller Team, telling them its not against the law to be wealthy. As they tried to point out Manaforts lifestyle. Moreover the Mueller team said that Manaforts wire transfers could be used to get around the IRS. The Judge returned with and then again they could not.


    So there you have it.....No Russian anything. No Collusion. Its not going so well for Mueller and his Team. What say ye?

    which is only significant if they can also prove that he avoided paying any US taxes he may have owed.

    From what I read, the prosecution is trying to play the class envy card in hopes that the jury responds to that. The judge is not going to allow the prosecution to criminlaize wealth and living an extravagant lifestyle.
