(47,940 posts)1. Manafort lied to Mueller
To protect himself and his family from Putin. Seriously, people who get on Putin's bad side die by violent means.

he could have been trying to slow down or confuse the investigation with the goal of getting a pardon from trumpft. He could have arrogantly thought that Muellers team didn't have all the information that they have.
As for puting, I would bet that he doesn't care. He is sitting back laughing at the drama.
Liars lie, it's what they do.

It's madness. I can't prove it, but I know that they are all as guilty as sin.
