More high level FBI corruption?

 A key document that was used to indict Paul Manafort, who was Trump's campaign manager for a while, may be bogus and the FBI may have used it despite knowing it was bogus.

The document, called the "black cash ledger" was discovered in the Ukraine by Ukraine authorities. It purportedly shows Manafort taking large amounts of cash across various national borders.

The problem is that the head anticorruption prosecutor in the Ukraine told the FBI that not only can't they link the ledger to Manafort but that the ledger is likely a fraud.

The most compelling evidence that the FBI knew the document was a fraud but used it anyway is that  the FBI didn't introduce the document into court proceedings. Rather they cited news sources that reported on it.

If they'd have introduced the document they would have had to shown it was legitimate and that it was linked to Manafort.  If they could have done so they would have.

Instead they cited media reports based on leaks from the FBI based on the document.  That way the effectively introduced the document without having to show that it wasn't a fraud.  Even better if they'd tried to introduce the actual document they'd have had to address the fact that the officials who found the document in the Ukraine believed it was fake so by using a leak they planted in the media they didn't have to inform the judge about the Ukrainian government's belief that the document was a fake.

This is just one more example of how Obama weaponized the FBI. The more we learn the more we find out that the top level officials at the FBI, not the rank and file, were willing to do pretty much anything in an attempt to nullify the 2016 election.
