Though the investigation comes with a hefty price tag, it may have actually paid for its own investigation, with its probe leading to monetary estimated gains of up to $48 million for the government through the tax evasion the investigation has revealed. Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chairman, was sentenced for conspiracy and obstruction of justice in September.

As part of his plea deal, Manafort agreed to forfeit assets that amount to between $42 million and $46 million, including about $22 million in property, CNBC reports. The case revealed how Manafort avoided paying more than $15 million in taxes by laundering $60 million from pro-Russian Ukrainians, CNN reports.


But muh 25 million. Muh fiscal conservatism

Prosecuting somebody for tax evasion is a "shakedown racket"?

He wasn’t accused of tax evasion and then investigated. He was investigated for being a campaign manager for Donald Trump and they found tax evasion from 10 years ago. Which they then tried use as leverage against Trump

So yes, it was a shakedown you fricking fraud

So is Muller an IRS agent or was he empowered to investigate Russian collusion?

You know, when people have money, they spend money, and that is good for the economy!
