JUST UPLOADED: In sentencing memo, MUELLER accuses MANAFORT of "bold" crimes, "some of which were committed while under a spotlight due to his work as the campaign chairman &, later, while he was on bail from this Court." https://t.co/JNkwbz5ELE— Kenneth P. Vogel (@kenvogel) February 23, 2019
MANAFORT long insisted he didn't lobby the US government on behalf of his Ukrainian clients, & even when he was forced to retroactively FARA file, he only listed activity from 2012-2014.— Kenneth P. Vogel (@kenvogel) February 23, 2019

INTERESTING: There are several unredacted references to TONY PODESTA's work with MANAFORT for the Russia-aligned government of Ukraine.— Kenneth P. Vogel (@kenvogel) February 23, 2019
* I believe this is the first time that Podesta has been named in the Mueller filings or exhibits, but correct me if I'm wrong, #MuellerTwitter pic.twitter.com/sOJ3jv1ssr
MUELLER: As MANAFORT & his team worked to quell US scrutiny of YANUKOVYCH's imprisonment of a political rival, they engaged "in backroom lobbying using personal contacts & confidential Congressional information obtained secretly by [REDACTED] from Congressional staff." pic.twitter.com/sH7QP6Aevd— Kenneth P.
