          In summary, the indictment goes pretty easy on poor Paul (except for the bit abt forfeiting the fancy suits and rugs). A good first hand.

          2 takeaways: By including Tony Podesta in here, Mueller shields himself fr partisanship claims. Manafort can flip w/o hurting "credibility"

          Proposal: It ought to be a federal crime to launder 50X as much money thru your antique rug shop as thru your household labor.

          I wonder what type of carpets his cell will have......hope the grounds are well kept. Manafort is used to nice things.

          And the cherry on top: Manafort wd hv sm legit $ left in his acc't, but Trump had accptd M's offer to work for free.https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/924994302278864896 …
