United States 12/26/2017 11:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Is Robert Mueller About To Hit a New Low With SECOND Indictment of Paul Manafort? [ link to www.thegatewaypundit.com] Is special counsel Robert Mueller set to hit another low with a second indictment of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort? According to legal experts, the answer might be “yes.” In Washington legal circles, there’s a broad expectation that Mueller will file what’s called a superseding indictment of Manafort and Rick Gates, his erstwhile business partner—and alleged partner in crime. […] “I would expect a superseding indictment to come down relatively soon,” said Jonathan Turley, a professor at George Washington University’s law school. “There was much in the narrative of the indictment that referenced crimes not charged,” he added. “Prosecutors will often issue a superseding indictment as the grand jury continues its work. There’s also a tactical reason for this, that superseding indictments tend to grind defendants a bit more over time.” A superseding indictment would essentially replace the current indictment of Manafort. And in that current indictment, Mueller’s team hinted there was more to come. In particular, they hinted at potential tax charges for Manafort’s foreign financial transactions. |
