Why Paul Manafort pleaded guilty to “conspiracy against the United States”
The charge isn’t as shocking as it looks.
The plea deal alleges that Manafort ran afoul of this part of the law as well — because making false statements about lobbying for foreign governments, not filing reports about foreign bank accounts, witness tampering, and money laundering are all crimes against the United States government.
In the conspiracy against the United States count, the special counsel writes that Manafort conspired to “commit offenses against the United States, to wit, (a) money laundering … (b) tax fraud … (c) failing to file Foreign Bank Account Reports … (d) violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act … and (e) lying and misrepresenting to the Department of Justice.”
