Quote:New criminal charges have been filed under seal in special counsel Robert Mueller 's case against former Trump campaign officials Paul Manafort and Rick Gates, multiple outlets reported Wednesday.

The charges, first reported by Politico, were put under seal by Judge Amy Berman, barring details about the charges themselves from public view.


The development follows the special counsel's recent discovery of alleged "additional criminal conduct" articulated in a court document sent from the prosecutor's office on Friday.

In that filing, Manafort and Gates were accused of "a series of bank frauds and bank fraud conspiracies." Some of those bank frauds are related to properties that Manafort is seeking to pledge as collateral in lieu of a $10 million bail bond, the special counsel said.

Mueller's office said the three properties Manafort put up for bail are insufficient substitutes for the bond.

"The bail package that Manafort proposes is far less than the $10 million that he alleges in his supplemental memorandum, and the difference is not made up by any surety," the special counsel said.

One of those properties is Manafort's Manhattan apartment in Trump Tower, which Mueller said is at risk of bank foreclosure.

At another, a property in Fairfax, Virginia, Manafort is alleged to have acquired a mortgage "from The Federal Savings Bank through a series of false and fraudulent representations to The Federal Savings Bank." Manafort previously claimed that the property had no mortgage, Mueller said.

Manafort and Gates were indicted by the special counsel in October 2017 on multiple charges, including conspiracy to launder money, lying to federal investigators and failure to register as foreign agents in their work on behalf of a pro-Russia Ukraine party.

Manafort is a lobbyist deeply connected to the governments of Russia and Ukraine who also served as then-candidate Donald Trump 's campaign chief for a time. Gates, who was Manafort's longtime associate, also worked on the Trump campaign.

Lawyers for Manafort and Gates, and a spokesman for the office of the special counsel, did not immediately respond to CNBC's requests for comment.

Is this about Russian Collusion or Manaforts laundering?

Its about Mueller's illegal leaking of sealed court documents about Manafort's money laundering and possible bank fraud (false information when he got a mortgage on his house).

So I found the link again. But you can't go to it. Da fuc.

First Trump colluded with Russians to win.
Then people begged electorals to not vote Trump.
Then people claimed he was mentally unstable.
Then the dossier dropped claiming the Russians were blackmailing him.
Then it was obstruction.
Now it's money laundering for business favors.

But in the meantime, he's lowered taxes, helped bring businesses back, boosted the economy, on the verge of getting something done on immigration, working on a infrastructure package, pulled out of Paris Accords, threatened to pull out of NATO if people don't pull their weight, and defended and got rid of the tax penalty known as Obamacare.

Think of what he could do if the bullspit about him cheating would go away.

I mean what a jerk. He's done nothing but played golf the last year.
