The headlines are screaming today–“Paul Manafort<\/a> Indicted.” Well, before the Democrats celebrate too loudly, they might want to take a look at the indictment.<\/p>\n

The New York Post<\/a> posted an article today listing the charges:<\/p>\n

The indictment says Manafort and Gates worked as \u201cunregistered agents\u201d for Ukraine<\/a> and the Party of Regions, a political party run by Yanukovych.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u200bThey \u201cgenerated tens of millions of dollars in income as a result of their Ukraine work\u201d and hid the payments from US authorities, the indictment says.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From 2006 through 2016, Manafort and Gates laundered $75 million through \u201cscores of United States<\/a> and foreign corporations, partnerships and bank accounts,\u201d it says.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 31-page indictment does not mention Trump or the 2016 election.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are a few things that need to be noted about the indictment of Paul Manafort. Wikipedia lists a few positions Paul Manafort held in the past.\u00a0Between 1978 and 1980, Manafort was the southern coordinator for Ronald Reagan’s presidential campaign<\/a>, and the deputy political director at the Republican National Committee<\/a>. After Reagan’s election in November 1980, he was appointed Associate Director of the Presidential Personnel Office<\/a> at the White House. Paul Manafort worked as an advisor to the presidential campaigns of George H.W. Bush<\/a> in 1988 and Bob Dole<\/a> in 1996. Manafort was someone used by the Republican establishment in the past, it is quite likely that establishment Republicans had something to do with Manafort being chosen to work on the Trump campaign<\/a>. It is also important to note that Manafort was hired in March 2016 and fired in August 2016.<\/p>\n

So what can we conclude from this? It is quite likely that Robert Mueller<\/a> has indicted Manafort as an attempt to bring down President Trump. All Mueller has to do is promise leniency to Manafort if Manafort will blow the whistle on the President.<\/p>\n

The fact that the special prosecutor indicted someone who worked on the Trump campaign for a matter of months on charges that were in no way connected to the campaign or Donald Trump<\/a> is an indication that Mueller is not finding what he needs to find in order to go after President Trump. It is becoming very obvious that Mueller is conducting an extensive witch hunt that is only yielding shady characters not related to the President.<\/p>\n

In a nutshell, if this is all Robert Mueller can come up with, he needs to go away. He is a very expensive distraction.<\/p>\n
