Dirty Cop Mueller Investigating Whether Manafort Promised Chicago Banker Trump Admin Job in Exchange For Loans

Mueller is on the march and he just hit former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort with new criminal charges, according to Reuters.

Dirty cop Mueller is also investigating whether Manafort promised a banker a job in the Trump administration in exchange for loans.

Because this has everything to do with Trump-Russia collusion during the 2016 election.

NBC reports:

Federal investigators are probing whether former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort promised a Chicago banker a job in the Trump White House in return for $16 million in home loans, two people with direct knowledge of the matter told NBC News.

Manafort received three separate loans in December 2016 and January 2017 from Federal Savings Bank for homes in New York City, Virginia and the Hamptons.

The banker, Stephen Calk, president of the Federal Savings Bank, was announced as a member of candidate Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers in August 2016.

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team is now investigating whether there was a quid pro quo agreement between Manafort and Calk. Manafort left the Trump campaign in August 2016 after the millions he had earned working for a pro-Russian political party in Ukraine drew media scrutiny. Calk did not receive a job in President Donald Trump’s cabinet.

The sources say the three loans were questioned by other officials at the bank, and one source said that at least one of the bank employees who felt pressured into approving the deals is cooperating with investigators.

In court filings Friday related to Manafort’s bail, federal prosecutors said they have “substantial evidence” that a loan made from the bank to Manafort using the Virginia and Hamptons properties as collateral was secured through false representations made by Manafort, including misstatements of income.

Because Manafort’s dealings with a Chicago banker in December of 2016 have everything to do with Trump colluding with the Russians to hack the DNC servers during the presidential election.

Obviously Mueller has nothing yet the fishing expedition continues.

Where the hell is AG Sessions??
