Sure looks like this is the unexposed part of the Trump/Manafort/Stone related criminal activities. There was a story out of European Press early on this week going in that direction and naming a Mobster connection who lives in St Petersburg Russia having ties to the afore mentioned people as well as other Political Players around the world.

Is this the Guy who's name everyone is afraid of?

And Trump can pardon them again for perjury. nt Jarqui Feb 2019 #1

IMO, that would be a terrible decision. Eyeball_Kid Feb 2019 #2

Glad you mentioned the Russian Mob. Wellstone ruled Feb 2019 #3

Are you saying that each lie under oath could result in separate perjury counts? Mr. Ected Feb 2019 #4

Corrupt intent in a pardon could be problematic... alwaysinasnit Feb 2019 #5

Intent is exceedingly difficult to prove in a court of law Mr. Ected Feb 2019 #6

I guess it would depend on the standard of evidence required to prove it. If it is preponderance, alwaysinasnit Feb 2019 #7

That's my understanding. Similar to an admission of guilt. Mr. Ected Feb 2019 #9

Now you know why they'll never be pardoned, at least by Trump jmowreader Feb 2019 #10

Ah, but would they? Mr. Ected Feb 2019 #11

It doesn't matter either way jmowreader Feb 2019 #12
