Berkeley Law Professor provides detail links Mueller probe



.
Summary of Indictments and Plea Bargains Filed So Far (with links)


Berkeley Law Professor, Teri Mansfield, stipulates that:

All the facts on this page were taken from the legal documents filed by Mueller’s team, which means they’ve been thoroughly investigated, and the prosecutors believe they have evidence to prove each fact beyond a reasonable doubt.

I will update as new documents are filed.

NOTE: I am including Michael Cohen and anything concerning the Trump Org based on a hunch that this will all end up blending together; that Cohen was central to TrumpRussia, etc.


Paul Manafort (Pleaded Guilty, 9-14-2018)
Superseding Criminal Information available here

Plea Deal available here

Brief Summary: Count One: Manafort conspired with Gates and Konstantin Kilimnik to act—and he acted—as an agent of the Government of Ukraine, the Party of Regions (the pro-Putin party) between at least 2006 and 2015. To hide income from his Ukraine work, Manafort, with the assistance of Gates and Kilimnik, laundered money through at least 2016. $75,000,000 flowed through his off shore accounts. Manafort is forfeiting much of his wealth. Count Two: In 2018, Manafort, Kilimnik & others conspired to corruptly interfere with the truthful testimony of Persons D1 and D2. In plain language: They tried to get D1 and D2 to lie.

Why it Matters: Trump hired Manafort to manage his campaign AFTER Manafort had, for years, been working as an agent for the pro-Putin Party of Regions. While serving as campaign manager, Manafort was busy laundering millions in dirty Ukranian-Russian money. In 2018 he was trying to get witnesses to lie. Matters mostly because it shows Manafort in a close partnership with Konstantin Kilimnik all the way through 2018. Mostly it matters because Manafort knows A LOT about the Russia-Trump connection. He was at the June 2016 meeting, for example.
