If someone said to you "look Hillary has already been exonerated of charges related to her email server" you would be screaming that it isn't true, and you'd be right.
I would like some clarification as to whether or not Rod Rosenstein chose NOT to press charges against Manafort 8 years ago when he had the opportunity.

Secondly, if RR knew Manafort was a bad apple, why didn't he give the Trump campaign a heads up to what the FBI already knew about Manafort?

I just find it very unusual that Rosenstein was involved now and then.

Not having charges filed =/= exoneration

Because it is against Justice Department policy to comment on an ongoing investigation , PERIOD. This is why it was so unusual for Comey to hold a press conference about Hillary and why so many people were rightfully upset when he did. See, again it's about consistency of thought the Justice Department should never comment to anyone about a criminal case except insofar as they need them as witnesses or what have you. Doesn't matter i it's Manafort or Clinton or Trump we're talking about.

You find it unusual that Rosenstein was the US Attorney in Maryland then and the Deputy Attorney General now? That's not unusual..........

Solitary? The line should be drawn at in jail at all on such accusations. He should have remained out on bond, but the prosecutors had to have pressure.

Paul Manafort says he's being treated like a "VIP" in jail

Now does it sink in?

Also,
quote:

Manafort tried to intimidate potential witnesses for his upcoming trial.


There was ZERO accusations of witness intimidation. It was tampering and the allegations are specious at best. Given he reached out to people he worked with and could be part of his defense.

People scoff when the question of Secession is raised these days, but, I'll bet that in the decades to come the topic won't be quite so whimsical.

you are terrible.

1) he isn't in solitary confinement, he was but he was moved
2) He is in jail b.c he broke the conditions of his bail.

He didn’t say he is (present tense) in solitary.

So the Manafort case has been open for 10+ years yet they charged him now but are only using information obtained prior to 2014? Why now?.....because it's all about Trump

I find it unusual that charges were not brought by Rosenstein way back when but since Manafort worked for Trump it is now convenient to press charges.

I don’t think good treatment or access to paperwork makes it any less solitary confinement, even if it is a nice facility. It’s still not home or freedom.

I don’t think much of Manafort but the abuse of the justice system process by Mueller should alarm any thinking person.

You actually have no idea what evidence the government has obtained in the intervening 10 years, so your statement is well ill conceived.

Correct, damn shame you don't have the consistently, integrity, or honor to feel the same way about people who sneak into our country illegally.

I am warning everyone: The View was on today where I was at. Joy, Whoopie and mostly all of them were praising Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie's marxist progressive healthcare plan. McCain was actually going at it with Joy saying other countries that tried it failed, and Whoopie told McCain to back off.

They have decided to embrace the communism and seem afraid to speak out against her. They aren't rattled.

Try asking which sources are acceptable for trying to provide facts. The last time I did, he said "no, you first."

That way, they can just shite talk anything you mention, without saying which conspiracy theorist websites they visit.
