LOL, please please please describe to us what a "neo liberal" is and how that differentiates and forms a basis for insult.
You, sir, are one of the kings of using words you clearly do not know.
Assumed KONE's mantle. Good that he's found his place in the hierarchy of toadstools.
This may have been posted already but it's a long thread, don't have a cow, man.
"A lawyer who previously worked with
Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign manager, has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, marking another major development in the investigation into possible collusion between the Trump election campaign and the Kremlin.
Alex van der Zwaan, who married the daughter of a Russian-Ukrainian oligarch last year, admitted making false statements in connection to work he did in Ukraine, as part of a plea agreement with the special prosecutor on the Russia investigation,
Robert Mueller.
It is unclear how – if at all – the case against Van der Zwaan is connected to the broader question of whether or not the Trump campaign conspired with the Kremlin. But the indictment shows that one focus of the Mueller investigation is Manafort’s business dealings with pro-Russia figures in Ukraine prior to becoming Trump’s campaign manager in 2016.
According to court documents filed in Washington and made public on Tuesday,
Van der Zwaan failed to disclose a series of contacts in September 2016 with Rick Gates, a business associate of Manafort, and a person identified only as Person A, with whom Van der Zwaan spoke in Russia and who was described as a “longtime business associate of Manafort and Gates in Ukraine”."
It will be very interesting to see if they ever succeed in connecting these misdeeds with Manafort's subsequent involvement in the Trump campaign. So far, that aspect of it really does smell like nothingburger, much as I hate to say it. Even so, how someone who only hires all the best people can surround himself with so many criminals is practically damning all on its own.
