Rachel says new Manafort documents were unsealed today -- she's about to report on them.

[pnwmom]

Manafort was released into a "high intensity supervision program." Not on his own recognizance, like Gates. They both had to pay bail in the millions.

Manafort must wear an electronic monitoring device.

New 17 page document that explains why his release terms are so strict, including his financial resources and foreign connections.

Manafort, Gates, and a Russian national served as owners and signatories on a list of foreign bank accounts.

And Manafort's "business had staff in Moscow."

Both Gates and Manafort have made wildly different estimates of their net worths in different documents and Mueller's investigators will be looking at their tax returns, bank records, and more.

Rick Gates was not represented by counsel at his indictment.

Manafort had 3 different passports with 3 different numbers, and a phone obtained in a different name.

[pnwmom]

6. A lot of that, yes. But this is Rachel. nt

[bluepen]

17. Yeah, that info has been out for a couple of hours.

[Hornedfrog1985]

5. Sounds like

They had joint bank accounts with a known russian intelligence agent or something...? From cyprus bank. It almoat sounds like gates was treated like he wasnt a flight risk. Makes you wonder if hes already flipped?

[dhol82]

21. What about Wilbur Ross?

Bank of Cyprus?
Keep waiting for his name to surface in all this crazy.

[Hornedfrog1985]

22. Im not 100% on it.

I posted this right as it was coming out of her mouth before anything was even in the op.

[dhol82]

23. No problem

I’m just nuts about Wilbur. Hoping that he gets nailed on all of this shit that is coming out.
He is our FUCKING commerce secretary. That is a FUCKING member of the fucking cabinet!
He was head of the Bank of Cyprus when all of this shit was going down.

[sarah FAILIN]

7. Gates released on his own recognizance?

Doesn't that mean no bail required? I thought Manafort paid 10 million and Gates paid 5 million.

[pnwmom]

9. With bail but no home monitoring like Manafort.

[CatWoman]

8. HOLY FUCKING SHIT

did you see that?

Mueller is out for BLOOD and GUTS!!!!

[pnwmom]

10. I hope so.

[Dopers_Greed]

11. Gates and Manafort are toast

Imagine the scale of the criminal activity that hasn't even been public yet. And Mueller will have full reign to sift through their finances.

Hopefully they'll rat out the Orange Rat.

[NightWatcher]

12. Manafort is Manafucked

Hope he flips hard.

[SCantiGOP]

13. Hes got a pardon in his pocket

But it’s not clear if a President’s pardon power is restricted in these cases.

[coolsandy]

14. At least Four states will go after him as soon as he is pardoned.

NY,DC,FL,NJ

[SweetieD]

15. Isn't having multiple passports illegal?

[Duppers]

16. Yes.

U.S. limits a person to only two: only one from the U.S. and only one other from another country (duel citizenship), according to my hubs who has traveled internationally a lot.

You cannot have more than one in the US. Don't even understand how anyone could obtain more than one.

I ck'd just to make sure and hubs is right:

19. Many people have more than one US passport

I know normal people with more than one US passport. Your middle management road warrior that flies a few times a week internationally almost certainly does.

[pnwmom]

18. Apparently it isn't. There are various reasons why this might be legal. n/t

[HipChick]

20. ..he has 3 US passports, with different numbers..

The only other time I held more than one US passport, was when I was issued a US diplomat black passport
