      9/ To be clear, if Manafort pleads guilty, he will have to go into court and acknowledge what he did. He will also have to agree to surrender property that the government has sought to obtain via "forfeiture" because it was obtained via criminal activity or used in a crime.

      Yup. The deal will involve an effort to save the $16M, for example.

          I still think you were spot on with your piece that Mueller has the leverage! https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/09/12/the-30-million-leverage-over-paul-manaforts-possible-cooperation/ …

          How could $30M in forfeiture not amount to leverage?

          As important in my view, how could so many journalists not see this and include it in their reporting? You've done them all a big favor, but I've yet to see any actually grok this.🙄

          ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 1) They don't have to deal with @bmaz squawking all the time. 2) Many (definitely not all) report what people tell them.

          Let me say this about that: Mariotti is, as usual, full of shit and oblivious to the larger circumstances and implications. Ah know I'm gonna get in trouble with @emptywheel for such further impertinence, but I must!

          The $16m was reported to represent slightly under 25% of the bank's loanbook So say total loanbook=64m That would mean roughly 9m regulatory capital needed in the bank(12%) The whole loan was written off Whose capital got burnt ?https://mobile.twitter.com/liberty_42/status/1040385502220890112 …
