KIEV, Ukraine — A Ukrainian lawmaker released new financial documents Tuesday allegedly showing that a former campaign chairman for President Trump laundered payments from the party of a disgraced ex-leader of Ukraine using offshore accounts in Belize and Kyrgyzstan.

The new documents, if legitimate, stem from business ties between the Trump aide, Paul Manafort, and the party of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych, who enjoyed Moscow’s backing while he was in power. He has been in hiding in Russia since being overthrown by pro-Western protesters in 2014, and is wanted in Ukraine on corruption charges.

The latest documents were released just hours after the House Intelligence Committee questioned FBI Director James B. Comey about possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Moscow. The hearing that also touched on Manafort’s work for Yanukovych’s party in Ukraine.

Comey declined to say whether the FBI is coordinating with Ukraine on an investigation of the alleged payments to Manafort.

1. The sleaze in ths admin runs so deep

[Kimchijeon]

2. It really does, there's so much fraud/crime going on, it's almost impossible

to keep up!

[malaise]

3. The irony of the Con's campaign screaming 'lock her up'

is more than I can bear.

LOCK THEM UP!

[Hekate]

4. It's projection. It always was and always will be, with the Trump cabal.

J. Edgar Hoover should rise from his grave and get 'em all on money laundering and tax evasion.

[malaise]

6. I can't wait for the tax returns - then it's game over

9. Tweety time...

[malaise]

11. I'm betting that Tweety is going to go all gaga over

Gorsuch before the program is over

Still on the Con's attack on Obama and the Criminal investigation

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. Tweety just said that's Merrick Garland's seat.

[malaise]

16. That was amazing

I started a thread on his commentary - WOW! He's finally finished with these criminals

[yardwork]

20. Tweety gives one day and takes away the next. It's just a game to him.

[malaise]

22. That's why his commentary surprised me today

Wow! No votes for Gorsuch

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. If you watch the video Tony Montana could beat a conspiracy rap but not a money laundering one.

[Lucinda]

17. Yep. I actually think that just about every thing that Trump has ever said

against Hillary, should be considered to be an indication of an action he is guilty of. I've often said that he reminds me of a child who has done something wrong, gotten away with it, but can't help tattling on himself.

5. LOCK HIM UP! LOCK THEM ALL UP!!

[malaise]

8. ROFL

Lock them Up!

[NastyRiffraff]

23. Love that gif!

Thanks for the grin, Jackie!

10. He didn't really have a job with the campaign. He maybe held a cardboard sign outside a trump rally

once, that's it. No official connection.

19. Spicer is one of my favorite characters in this remake of The Great Dictator

I like it when I can't quite figure out right away where a secondary character falls on the evil/useful idiot spectrum.
Upside down flag pin day was awesome...and definitely a boost up from his earlier walk-on as the WH Easter Bunny.

( /sarc for those who may be wondering if I've lost the plot)

12. No worries - Paulie's got some backup now:

Paul Manafort, the former chairman of Donald Trump's presidential campaign, has hired a crisis communications firm.

The move comes as Manafort faces scrutiny over possible ties to Russia centered on his past consulting work for officials in Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych's pro-Russia government.

Manafort’s new spokesman is Jason Maloni, a former senior vice president and chair of the litigation practice at Levick who formed his own firm, called JadeRoq, late last year.

“Paul retained me recently because he was getting a lot of media inquiries. Having some support in this area allows folks like you to get your answers faster and allows him to focus on other matters,” Maloni said in an email.

13. WaPo kicks and scores! The ball is in the NYT court now.

[mcar]

14. Most corrupt administration ever

[volstork]

18. The drips are beginning to coalesce

into a rivulet. By the weekend, it will be a stream. Hopefully by month's end, it will be f*ing Niagara Falls.

[Lucinda]

21. I think it's time for hip boots now. The drips are becoming a deluge.

24. The Comey hearing yesterday was a geyser

It's flooding the entire administration. Hard to beat an investigation of the Trump campaign's involvement in Russian interference.
