Not exactly, “For want of a nail . . . “, but good reason for such laws to be enforced.
“We had [Paul Manafort in kleptocracy investigation] in 2014,” one of the former officials said. “In hindsight, we could have nailed him then.”https://www.buzzfeed.com/jasonleopold/manafort-under-scrutiny-for-40-million-in-suspicious …

That's the beauty of Mueller's conspiracy to defraud the US framework, if they can make it stick.

Yeah, until the USSCt. says “Well, those criminal statutes chill political behavior OR impede rights of free speech.” BTW, GR here and enjoyed your S. Libby reporting. Godspeed.

these guys have roamed the earth convinced they could do anything they want with impunity and they have been right. I hope those days are coming to an end.

I think Mueller report will point to legislation that needs to happen. If the criminal cases are compelling enough, it might, just, tho odds are still against.

so long as the laws are made by predominantly rich, white men.

This part made me chuckle (that 10s of $Millions is "small potatoes"), but then I thought: Don't you grab the small-potatoes guy as a way to eventually get to Mr Potato Head? https://www.buzzfeed.com/jasonleopold/manafort-under-scrutiny-for-40-million-in-suspicious …pic.twitter.com/kHz7iMwRrr

Isn’t it quite interesting that Manafort just happens to be close with Deripaska(Steele ‘Source’) as well? It’s almost as if there was a scheme running. Rumor has it he practically begged to b DT campaign mgr and worked for free..

I got a warning for not wearing a seatbelt... in a parking lot. Manafort is orchestrating riots against US Marines.

$25,000 in “fraudulent charges” at Duane Reade seems desperate for a dude who laundered millions.

I give up. If the leaks lend themselves to contrary interpretations - it’s ok to let relatively small crimes go vs. “they” helped cause bigger crimes - what hope is there for democracy’s legitimacy even if Trump’s fellow Republicans force him to resign? Excess wealth tax ASAP!

Odd, I thought Manafort investigation was still active in NY and when special counsel was named they rolled the case into SCO. Can’t imagine it was completely set aside for two years for indictments with so much detail to come so quickly.
