"a vast criminal conspiracy"
Старый твит, еще летом опубликованный: i really can’t overemphasize how much i respect paul manafort’s dedication to doing more crimes even when he knows he is being watched explicitly for crimes.
И сегодняшняя новость.
Mueller says Manafort lied after pleading guilty, should be sentenced immediately Prosecutors with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III said Monday that Paul Manafort breached his plea agreement by lying repeatedly as they questioned him in the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Manafort denies doing so, and both sides agree that sentencing should be set immediately.
[...]
“After signing the plea agreement, Manafort committed federal crimes by lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Special Counsel’s Office on a variety of subject matters, which constitute breaches of the agreement,” prosecutors wrote. The government will file a detailed sentencing submission to the Probation Department and the Court in advance of sentencing that sets forth the nature of the defendant’s crimes and lies.”

Такая безумная решительность врать, несмотря ни на что, конечно, вызывает уважение. Но какое объяснение этой безумной решительности?
Один вариант -- Мэнафорт просто не в состоянии не врать. Другой вариант, который кажется мне куда более логичным, -- это то, что Мэнафорт снова решил, что у него есть основания рассчитывать на помилование.
Хорошо об этом написал Крис Хэйс: The Occam's Razor Take here is: lots of folks in Trumpworld really did engage in a vast criminal conspiracy that they are desperately trying to keep hidden by lying about it.
Maybe that turns out not to be true! But it's the most economical explanation of everything we've seen *by far*.
По-моему, невозможно с этим не согласиться.
Вспомним также недавниe твит Трампа, 15 ноября: The inner workings of the Mueller investigation are a total mess. They have found no collusion and have gone absolutely nuts. They are screaming and shouting at people, horribly threatening them to come up with the answers they want. They are a disgrace to our Nation and don’t...
....care how many lives the ruin. These are Angry People, including the highly conflicted Bob Mueller, who worked for Obama for 8 years. They won’t even look at all of the bad acts and crimes on the other side. A TOTAL WITCH HUNT LIKE NO OTHER IN AMERICAN HISTORY!
О каких inner workings расследования известно Трампу, и как ему о них стало известно? И "screaming and shouting at people"... кто эти "people"? Логично предположить, что people -- это, в частности, Мэнафорт.
В других новостях расследования -- "A New Indictment Looms in the Mueller Probe".
Корси теперь говорит, что Мюллер предложил ему deal, но Корси от него отказался, потому что он не может признать, что врал, когда он не врал. Right... A far-right conspiracy theorist who landed in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s crosshairs over his friendship with the longtime Donald Trump confidant Roger Stone now says that Mueller has offered him a plea deal on one count of perjury related to his conversations with Stone in 2016-but he is not going to take the deal, he told me in an interview on Monday. “I will not sign a statement that says I willfully and knowingly lied, because I did not,” Jerome Corsi said.
Чуть более подробно -- Natasha Bertrand: Corsi says perjury charge stems from email he sent to Stone in 2016 urging him to visit Assange. (Corsi says he forgot about it.) Also says he'll allege in a complaint to Whitaker that Mueller's team recommended he hide the plea deal from FINRA.
Комментарий Daniel Goldman: Mueller would not charge Corsi with false statements if all he had was that Corsi originally said he did not remember a communication and then said he did remember after being shown an email reflecting. This is Corsi spin -- Mueller has more than that.
Well, here we are.
