Lawyers for former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort are crying foul over a meeting Justice Department prosecutors held with four Associated Press reporters last year as news organizations and the FBI bore down on the longtime lobbyist and political consultant.
Manafort’s defense has argued for months that the off-the-record session on April 11, 2017, was a potential conduit for improper leaks to the press about the probe that led to two criminal cases against the former Trump campaign chief.
Now, Manafort’s attorneys have fresh evidence they say bolsters their claims: two memos written by FBI agents who attended the meeting and documented their version of what transpired.
Manafort’s legal team paints the evidence as confirmation that journalists were given inside information about the investigation in violation of Justice Department policies and, perhaps, legal prohibitions on disclosure of grand jury secrets.

Beware the Government-Media complex!
Every detail of the “Trump collusion” story is sickening. The Obama Admin. engineered nothing less than a political coup. They weaponized every Agency in our government to smash, smear, and destroy the political right. The Deep state conspired to RUIN Donald Trump’s candidacy, and then his Presidency. Obama used the IRS to successfully SILENCE many important voices during the 2012 re-election campaign … which helped him (barely) get re-elected. Because of that success … and the “official” declaration that there … “wasn’t a smidgeon of corruption” associated with the IRS targeting conservative non-profits … Obama went FULL MONTY on weaponizing the government to DESTROY Trump in 2016.
But … The People … beat the Deep state corruption with our votes. And our highly successful President is beating the Deep state operatives … and … Robert Muellers shit show.
But this deeply embedded corruption of our government who are so emboldened as to launch a political coup against Donald Trump need to be smashed … like the cockroaches they are. I remain hopeful that MY President will root out all the highly compromised leftist political operatives in the FBI, DOJ, and every other corner of our government. Once MY President is FREE from the political hatchet job of a “Special Investigation” … heads are gonna roll. Soon, Donald Trump will RETURN America to THE PEOPLE! The PEOPLE who love him, support him, and trust him. The same PEOPLE who defeated the Deep State corruption … and HER … by VOTING for change. America is desperate for CHANGE. I believe that CHANGE is coming. No wonder so many government, media, and corporate interests HATE Trump … because he smashing all their edifices … and revealing the rotten stench of their empty souls.
and Kennedy was also killed, by joint effort between left and right, because he also threatened the “establishment”
so this is not new, just a new chapter!
Well said. This is also how my friend Lew in Tampa feels.
How can you top that? Awesome Kenji.
It is about time that the right starts crushing the left using any means possible because if they don’t the country will cease to exist.
sooooo leaks when your team benefits are doubleplusgood, buuuuuut leaks of the type mr snowden shared call for his lifetime imprisonment?
they thing is dear hard right, in the REAL world, that rough and tumble playing field where lines are blurred, objectives not sharply defined, no one 100% trustworthy, etc, ummm, you dont get to ‘cherry pick’ leaks. its all or nuthin, aka the propensity and process of leakage must exists for your team to use same.
anyways, this is good to know about el presidente oBOMBa.
When one abuses their trust and lets their biases affect their jobs in law enforcement, they need to go to jail.
Root them all out, screw the DeMarxists who will scream bloody murder on cue anyway, perp walk them.
No secret meetings, as apparently Paige now gets. Out front, answer the question, if you plea the 5th without foundation, you go to jail for perjury. In fact put them all in front of a grand jury.
Actually, get a special prosecutor and feed the DeMarxist some of their own gruel. Make sure they know seconds are available.
Nail.them.all.
