Bernie Sanders Adviser Is Assisting Special Counsel Investigation In Manafort Case

This discussion thread is pinned.

Tad Devine, a top adviser to Sanders’ 2016 campaign, previously worked with Manafort in Ukraine

Tad Devine, a political operative who served at the highest levels of the Bernie Sanders campaign, will assist in the special counsel office’s prosecution of Paul Manafort, Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, according to a statement released on Thursday.

“The Special Counsel has asked Tad Devine to assist in the prosecution of their case against Paul Manafort regarding his firm’s work on media consulting on past political campaigns in Ukraine,” reads a statement provided by Julian Mulvey, a partner at Devine’s political firm, Devine Mulvey Longabaugh.

"When the Special Counsel sought assistance from us in its ongoing investigation, we readily provided it."

The firm, according to the statement, has been “assured by the special counsel’s office that we have no legal exposure and did not act unlawfully.”

A lot of misinformation on this is going around.

They can indict anytime if he is guilty. It reminds me of the argument Ray Lewis got away with murder when he was actually the prosecutor's star witness.

8. An email to Manafort is what people are using to claim he is dirty.

As far as I know that email has never been made public. Some people just want him to be dirty hoping it ties to Bernie .
