the thread is that they're the only ones his investigation reveals did anything wrong. you think that's a 9/10?


In that case 0/10.

I think we can expect indictments of the hackers and any GRU and FSB officers involved -- similar to the Yahoo hacking case.

The goal of the investigation to liberals and Never Trumpers has always been to impeach Trump or at least make him politically dead and if Mueller's investigation can't accomplish that, no one is going to give a frick what happens to manafort and flynn or even pay any attention to it.


The bar has been set at impeachment, so anything short of that will be a failure. Trump's response will be, "Are we done here?"

Mueller, "yes"

HERes something I don't get:

Manafort worked for 3 presidential campaigns. Why did no employer seek to care about his stench for all these years?

Furthermore, why wasn't his presence on the bush 1 and bush 2 campaign met with raised eyebrows from people in the know?

i just don't think he ever worked for somebody who got a special prosecutor, especially with such broad authority, assigned

well 2 major theories

1. these dealings could be post-2008

2. hasn't he always been kind of presumed to be a slime ball?

Really, I thought those two were the only two in trouble...so I'd say it's a slam dunk he gets both of them.

I honestly don't know why the left wants to insult normal people's intelligence by acting like this investigation is anything other than a witch hunt temper tantrum over losing an election.

They don't want fairness, honesty and the truth. That's a fricking joke. They just wan to harm trump while also causing massive harm to this country by creating division and instability.

That actually worked in Trump's favor beating the Never Trumpers down at the RNC Convention and preventing any funny business there to steal the nomination from Trump.

If he ever gets a pardon from his former boss, it will be thank him for his work there in Cleveland.

i mean this is an investigation into Trump's alleged collusion with Russia and you're saying getting 2 guys on completely unrelated stuff is a "slam dunk"?

Manafort and Flynn, and I'd be curious to see what shows up about Carter Page.

Also wouldn't surprise me if Manafort was colluding and coordinating the leaks of the emails. Really hope that's not the case as that would present the worst-case scenario. Plausible deniability for Trump but be such a scandal that it would de-rail all normal functioning of government

I think most people knew those two were the main targets. They'll snag them and call it a day. Trump will be fine and people will scream on both sides. ...

I'll give the left credit for successfully pigeon holing the narrative about the emails to be about how they were obtained but not the content.

It's incredible to me that the left turns a blind eye to the media collusion with the dnc that was legitimately proven but chases a fantasy about trump colluding with the Russians.

That would be a legitamite story.


But it wouldn't be the only legitamite story of the last 8 months, which is essentially the position the media has taken
