Manafort drops Mueller?s old law firm for one specializing in financial crimes
Shits hitting the fan quick!
![]() ![]() "Manafort is parting ways with WilmerHale, a prestigious D.C. law firm where special counsel Robert Mueller was partner until he resigned to lead the probe into President Donald Trump?s ties to Russia." "Manafort will now be represented by Miller and Chevalier, a firm that, according to Politico, ?specializes in complicated financial crimes.?" ---- Manafort switching legal team as feds crank up heat on him - POLITICO Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort is changing his attorneys as a federal investigation heats up into his financial transactions, according to people familiar with the matter. Manafort's case will now be handled by Miller and Chevalier, a boutique firm in Washington that specializes in complicated financial crimes among other issues, these people said. A spokesman confirmed the change. ?Mr. Manafort is in the process of retaining his former counsel, Miller & Chevalier, to represent him in the office of special counsel investigation. As of today, WilmerHale no longer represents Mr. Manafort," Jason Maloni said in a statement. Kevin Downing, a former senior Department of Justice official known for his work representing clients and firms facing complex financial investigations, will be working on the case, one of these people familiar with the matter said. Downing will have help from other lawyers also working on the case. Manafort is cutting ties with WilmerHale, the firm that has represented him in the matter so far. His former lawyer there, Reg Brown, led the congressional investigations practice. The move could signify a realization that the case has heated up, one of these people said, and that Manafort needs specialized criminal counsel. The switch comes after the FBI raided his home last month and a number of financial institutions were subpoenaed, these people said. The Washington Post first reported the home search, and Bloomberg first reported the bank subpoenas. While Manafort has emerged as a key figure in the various probes into whether Trump's campaign colluded with Russian officials to influence the 2016 election, special counsel Robert Mueller has also been examining Manafort's personal finances and consulting work. |

The Manafort case is moving faster because there was already a state case in action so it had a jump start when Muller took over.
We probably won't see fast action on all the others.

Why the D.C. Grand Jury last week if they're not close to pinning others?

So, he could be getting close to filing charges against someone or some group of people. He may also be gathering info, compelling people to turn over information, and speaking to witnesses who prefer to remain anonymous for now. Any one grand jury can be held for up to two years so he could be bringing information and witnesses for a while. |

So much data is digitally available now, not like the old days when you had to hunt down actual paperwork and go through boxes of documents. |

It will likely be for Manafort and Flynn then eventually move to the others.
