    You'd be a fool to think that he's be charged with a crime but for his association with the political process. This is political targeting at its worst. He's accused of not registering as a foreign agent from like 10 years ago... and then a host of ugly sounding crimes that surround the payments from it. None of the charges would have been prosecuted but for the fraudulent Special Counsel investigation being launched. An investigation founded on a bed of lies and intended purely, and admittedly by FBI agents over text, to "stop Trump". So it's a clear case of political targeting from the incredibly partisan and treasonous Special Counsel team.

    Oh, and our legal system requires a charge to be adjudicated before determining whether he committed a crime -- a charge or indictment does not mean he committed a crime, as you foolishly suggest. You are well beneath my intellectual level.

    GOOD DAY

    I wish I would have came up with the comment in there, "the only hard sentence for you is one that involves the word counsel."

    He is so transparent.... “Oh ****, Paul got caught. Hmmm they are going to connect me to this guy... Don’t over react, let’s connect Paul to someone else that people like. People like war veterans. Okay Bob Dole and Reagan. My base trust Reagan. I just watched the new Gotti movie with Travolta. Okay... let’s say something about being a crime boss... yeah I got this ****.... and hit - send -.”

    Honestly, I think the weird "mob" mention was a bit of a slip on his part. He's not exactly careful, and he's not exactly many degrees of separation from the New York mafia. D'oh!

    He should just start tweeting "D'oh!" for a while.

    i have a different take.

    Manafort has known Trump for over 30 yrs; if anyone knows Trump well, it'd be Manafort.
    if Manafort knows that he'll be pardon, why'd he even bother to tamper w the witnesses ?

    Manafort's desperate / stupid action---tampering w the witnesses---suggests that he knows that there will be no pardon for him

    Steele Dossier: the "well-developed conspiracy of co-operation between [Trump campaign] and the Russian leadership…was managed on the TRUMP side by the Republican candidate’s campaign manager, Paul MANAFORT.”

    The al queda types were using this method 20 or so years ago until the Black Hats of American Law Enforcement caught on to it.

    You're slacking here, lil' buddy.

    Your first post only took 4 sentences to mention Hillary Clinton, this last one was 8.

    Jailing political opponents is as low as it gets. That's what's happening here. These sick, demented liberals are cheering the lifetime imprisonment of a man who dared to work for a campaign against Hillary Clinton. These thuggish political prosecutions are intended to have a chilling effect on anyone wanting to work on future Republican campaigns. And what's worse is that the liberals support it, purely because they hate Trump. Heck, they even think they have the moral high ground on the issue. It's disgusting and reflective of how the liberals simply lack a moral core (likely due to so few of them being religious). Independent voters see what's happening here and are turned off by this. Is it any wonder that the hard core liberals have been voted out of power?

    GOOD DAY

    I stopped reading at “liberals simply lack a moral code”. They are so unlike our President who has such high moral standards.

    LAUGHABLE

    I am talking about the rank and file here.

    GREAT SPEECH BELOW - please read it aloud and with dramatic pauses after each sentence.
    Republicans represent the hardworking, honest, self-sufficient mindset that built this great nation. They don't want handouts, they provide for their family, they actually marry the woman that bears their children, they aren't on welfare, they don't sell drugs, they respect law and order. Liberals on the other hand have two extremes -- "takers", who live off the government and feel entitled to help, and then the "elites" who think that they have to provide for the well being of everyone else through handouts. This "elite" crowd, while desirous of helping others, doesn't know the right way to go about it, and despite virtue signaling and trying to claim the moral high ground, they actually lack a moral core and have an unscrupulous approach to winning at politics. Political prosecutions are not beneath them, and underhanded measures are not beneath them (spying on opponents, lying about sexual assault or fake dossiers, spreading lies through the complicit media). So while well-intentioned, the elites are naive and lack the knowledge and experience (examples: single women, people without kids, youth, low level employees with no direct reports) to lead people effectively (tough love is out of bounds with them)... and of course they use the takers purely for votes. The elites are actually incentivized to keep the takers firmly positioned in the lower class of society in order to preserve the voting block... which is horrible. And the takers have no business even weighing in on matters of governance, because they can't even manage their own lives, much less decide how the government should rule others. You have now been gifted a concise, high impact summary of American political science.


    GOOD DAY

    Where is the "cruelty" thread whining about how Manafort is being kept separate from his children? I expect tears.
