Regardless of what anyone thinks or how it came about, the evidence was pretty overwhelming that Manafort is guilty of tax fraud.

Agreed, Manafort is guilty of tax fraud committed prior to the 2016 Presidential election.

What was the evidence?

Ask the 12 jury members that judged him guilty of the tax fraud. One jury member, a Trump supporter who said she didn't want Manafort to be guilty, said in an interview that that the paper trail evidence was irrefutable. Manafort's signature was supposedly on all or most of the documents used to convict him.

Working for Trump at one time or being his friend doesn't make a person innocent. The rule of law clearly dictates that no one is above the law. Manafort is guilty and he will now pay for his criminal actions.

"Over 12 days in court, the prosecution called 27 witnesses and offered 388 photographs, emails and other documents as evidence of a scheme by Mr. Manafort to finance a life of opulence through sustained and sprawling fraud."
