Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was interviewed twice by FBI agents prior to joining the campaign, according to court filings on Tuesday.

One meeting in 2014 was first reported in February by BuzzFeed News, but court filings also show a meeting with FBI agents that occurred the year before, as FBI agents reportedly interviewed Manafort about his work in Ukraine.

A former FBI official told BuzzFeed in February that Manafort denied knowledge about money stolen by the government of Ukrainian President Victor Yanukovych and promised to turn over documents. He never did, according to the report.

"We had him in 2014," a former official told the website. "In hindsight, we could have nailed him then."

1. And who couldve known that that might be a red flag!?!?

2. Trump's vetting process

Is a lot like a Chevette and not so much a Corvette.

3. They had him in '14? How much more of this shit is going on, unprosecuted?

We have people being arrested for sitting in a COFFEE SHOP while black on pretty much a daily basis, meanwhile this heinous shit is apparently common and never really even investigated. How is it that all these tRUMP financial crimes are just now coming to light? How many more business crooks are out there laundering foreign money and breaking god knows what other laws...but hey, they're rich and WHITE so...

meanwhile, as a presidential candidate, tRump hires the best Russian mobster he can find, and still, "nothing to see here" until finally the US is pretty much the laughingstock of the world, our elections have been hacked by foreign enemies colluding with the GOP, and THEN a special counsel is appointed.

Great system we got here.

4. I have wondered about that myself.

If the CIA and/or FBI has the goods on people than why in the hell don't they ever use it?!?!?! The fucking moron should have been in jail years ago as well as half of his pals who are heavily into organized crime in various countries over the years. What does it take for our spies and intelligence agencies to nail white collar criminals?!?!?

5. I think it takes campaign finance reform to get them to focus on white collar crime

Because guess who the big political donors are? Dems need to get real on this issue otherwise they're lumped in with the R's, and probably rightly so.

PS, Hope you are feeling better Bigman!

6. Yes, I am.

Thanks for asking! I am laying low since I don't want a relapse...I am up to 100 pounds now (gained 5 back in the past week).
