    Reddit Trump is celebrating that Manafort is going down because he worked for Podesta and ultimately Hillary.

    Did you guys know Google Cheeseburger emoji has the cheese on the wrong side?

    You seem confident Trump will serve out his entire 4 year term.

    Wanna make a bet?? Or are you going to puss out? Lol

    You're scared like Trump and you know it RussianLegend. Trump doesn't serve full term of 4 years, you leave the forum for good. Trump serves out full term of 4 years, I'll leave. Don't be a little b*tch.. o_O lol

    Can't wait to see your face of disappointment lolololol

    So is the hope for the Russiagate truthers that if enough people are indicted on unrelated charges that the first shreds of evidence towards that narrative will magically appear? I'm genuinely curious.

    No, you aren't since there are already shreds of evidence that have been public for quite a while now, and you are ignoring them.

    Thus, as I said, are you hoping that the first actual evidence magically appears if enough people are indicted on unrelated charges? I mean, I'm just a neutral party here and not a Russiagate truther, so I can't possibly know what you guys think unless you tell me.

    Manafort is boring stuff, as boring as millions of dollars worth of money laundering can be.

    The Papadopoulos stuff is straight up "I colluded with Russia on behalf of a fully aware Donald Trump and then lied about it."

    Pap's 30 years old. Has a lot to lose. He's singing. Heads are rolling.

    Trump haters on here have a great reputation of following through on their bets (they don't)

    By that line of thinking, it's probably truer to say that evidence isn't evidence until it is formerly entered into the proceedings of a court case. There may be many things that Mueller knows but the evidence is going to consist of the testimony of witnesses that wouldn't be willing to cooperate without something to gain for themselves. So yes the actual evidence for a court case may appear because people are indicted on unrelated charges (though Papa's indictment and guilty plea looks to be completely related). That doesn't make it a shot in the dark though, as you want to imply.

    That said, I'm also fine with it if Trump is innocent and this is as far as the proceedings go. If the charges bear out, it's still okay to charge these guys on their own merits even if it is not a play to catch bigger fish. Republicans would wail that it was all just a witch hunt and that these men's lives were ruined on a failed attempt to overturn an election. But that isn't right. If they are guilty, it's good to have caught them, even if it was some grand prosecutorial overreach that exposed them.

    You keep using that word - I do not think it means what you think it means.

    Who on earth are y'all talking to?
    Must be some incredible insider at the FBI who knows everything that Mueller has found -- that's amazing!

    I think collusion is technically not illegal. What the indictments show, I think, beyond a doubt: Mueller is following the money and when he finds either illegal financial activity or people who lied under oath, he's going to bust them, one by one, as far as it goes. Maybe it stops at three, but I would expect a few more.

    All these Trump associates tweeting like mad should STFU for their own legal future, IMHO.

    Sounds like a lot of assumptions based on evidence that doesn't currently exist.

    I mean, if you are right, and that evidence does actually exist that's one thing, but right now there's not really a reason to assume it does other than essentially hope that it exists. If people are found to be guilty, great....I mean it would have been better if they had gone out and gotten a truly independent investigator instead of one with obvious conflicts of interest so that the charges would stick, but there's nothing that can be done about that now.

    He keeps calling himself neutral, an Independent, and "not a Republican," but Bobbythegreat's head is so far up Trumpa Loompa's ass his face is orange too. At a certain point you have to call a spade a spade.
