"Paul Manafort was trying to make money or achieve debt forgiveness from a Russian oligarch?"
R
Robert Mueller Testimony before House Intelligence Committee"Well, I think it does [create a national security risk], sir. I think it shows an infuriating lack of patriotism from the very people seeking the highest office in the land. Director Mueller, Manafort didnt share this information in exchange for nothing. Did he, sir?"
"Paul Manafort was trying to make money or achieve debt forgiveness from a Russian oligarch?"
"[Y]our report describes a sweeping and systematic effort by Russia to influence our Presidential election. Is that correct?"
"In fact, the campaign welcomed the Russian help, did they not?"
"That language comes from Volume 1, page 54. Apart from the Russians wanting to help Trump win, several individuals associated with the Trump campaign were also trying to make money during the campaign and transition. Is that correct?"
"Paul Manafort was convicted of lying?"
"[I]t does, and yet Prince, who had connections to top... Trump administration officials, met with Dimitriev, during the transition period, to discuss business opportunities, among other things. But it wasnt just Trump and his associates who were trying to make money off this deal, nor hide it, nor lie about it. Russia was, too. That was the whole point, to gain relief from sanctions, which would hugely benefit their incredibly wealthy oligarchs. For example, sanctions relief was discussed at that June 9 meeting in the Trump Tower. Was it not, sir?"
