Bullpucky, and then he tried to change it back to original bullpucky story number one, because he hadn t been able to keep straight the first set of lies in what that had been. so this is the part of manafort s filing, which suggests that, yeah, prosecutors maybe had good reason to feel not at all comfortable with him providing anything that was supposed to be factual information about anyone. he is lying about his lying. but the final point in this manafort filing today is perhaps more serious for people other than paul manafort. and that s because mueller s team says manafort has been lying to them about his communications with people in the trump administration. quote, the evidence demonstrates that manafort lied about his contacts. what the prosecutors are saying here is that manafort tried to downplay the fact of his ongoing communications with people in the trump administration. in at least one instance, he tried to secretly communicate with a member of the administration by auth ....
