Trump and Hannity were trying to increase the idea in the jury pool that Manafort was framed.
Paul Manafort received those monies. The black ledger belonged to the party of Yanukovych. The black ledger is real. The FBI accepted it was evidence of the monies Paul Manafort received and never reported.
Paul Manafort is not a victim, the government of the USA was deceived and the taxes owed was never paid. That is only one count brought before THE COURTS with evidence found in the wake of Yanukovych.
Yanukovych abused the people of Ukraine with his lavish house and the monies due not just the USA, but, Ukraine as well.
(right) Viktor Yanukovych and Vladimir Putin. The TWO MEN THAT ARE ENEMIES OF THE USA AND UKRAINE. Why is that somehow lost in translation at FOX News?
Hannity is promoting the idea that Paul Manafort was wrongly accused and the evidence was more DEEP STATE FAKE EVIDENCE that lead to his prosecution. That is propaganda, it is also very deep fear-mongering that has a percentage of Americans afraid of their government. We have seen evidence of that fear in attacks by people who have testified their violent actions were due to the influence of the Trump Campaign and their attendance at Trump's speeches. This fear is also seen today in realizing Trump has his own communication network where he advocates the mainstream media is FAKE. It seems a communication network of Trump's making is also obligated under FCC laws to offer TIME FOR OPPOSING VIEWS to their viewers. Those opposing views are also sparse at Hannity.
