Lol. Yeah, the FBI has always been a left wing organization.

Manafort was always going to be found guilty. Once a federal charge goes to trial, there is a 95% chance the government wins.I always thought he had a pretty good shot of getting nailed on the tax evasion charges. I'm thinking the bank fraud stuff was a bit gratuitous, but since the charges involve intent the government could do a pile on.

This means nothing as it applies to Russia, mainly because there is no real there there. Yeah Mika and Joe will crow tomorrow morning, but someone is going to have to remind him that nothing has come from the Russia probe other than a few indictments of some native Russians for what is essentially hacking some web sites .

Flynn has not been sentenced
PapaD is trying to walk back his guilty plea of lying to the FBI (such a bullshite charge because he did not remember the timeline correctly)

Cohen could be problematic, but it still has nothing to do with Russia and hacking DNC email or Hillary email
