    "People" were claiming? It's what Trump said himself. Unless you think the video of him talking was doctored.

    That is like saying you went to a local gas station, got fill ups and despite a non investigation kept getting fill ups.

    Actually Victor was duly elected. The guy taking over was not legally elected.

    Manafort was not being investigated when he worked briefly by Trump.

    All except the Manafort charge, which now must be proven in a Court of Law(and I'll let that take its course.) What so disrupted the US Government, were these charges. You know it, I know it and everyone knows it. These charges must either definitively be proven or disproven and leaving no room for speculation.

    If he can't do it, he should say so. If he can do it, I'd say he best get on it. He brought himself time with these indictments, now let's see how he uses that time.

    Don't worry Robert, this is only the first of what could turn into hundreds of indictments. Remember Ken Starr and the so called "Whitewater" investigations? It took several years and morphed from an inquiry of a two bit land deal to a steamy sexcapade ending with Clinton being impeached and disbarred. These things take time old boy. Starr started out by arresting several of Clinton's friends and locking them up if they wouldn't give up the dirt on Clinton. Manafort is just the beginning and he's on the hook for money laundering and tax evasion already. This probe is less than 6 months old and Mueller already has hooked a couple of pretty big fish on some pretty heavy charges. If it looks like he might get 15-20 years in jail and Trump doesn't pardon him, there is a good chance that old Pauly may turn prosecution witness and try to lessen his sentence by proffering some dirt on Trump or his sons or son in law. We got a long way to go here so try to be patient and see what comes up.

    LOL

    Except the nuance of the claim was erased by a media devoted to it's liberal partners, who willfully swallow their deceit without question.

    https://www.snopes.com/donald-trump-fifth-avenue-comment/

    It’s true that Trump made the “shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue” remark widely attributed to him across standard and social media sites. However, the (somewhat clumsy and crass) comment also generally appeared absent of its broader context.

    With all the evidence, one could probably argue the left's media partners could destroy an innocent person, and it's followers wouldn't bat an eye.

    You have no link from Ukraine or Manafort to Trump. Do you think Mueller is this incompetent?

    Yes, I know the full Clinton story.

    He was not convicted by the Senate, but he was found guilty and disbarred. And he sexually assaulted women and got a huge fine.

    Yes, Manafort could try to lie. But as I said, you can indict a ham sandwich. Why? Because Grand Juries hear only one side.

    A regular Jury hears both sides.

    Nope, read the indictment. Has nothing at all to do with Trump. This action took place under Obama. Would you want me to find Obama guilty for what Manafort did?

    Cigar, I would just be content if they told the truth. That Manafort had a connection to Ukraine and it was not connected to Trump;.

    Based on left wing thinking, since this happened under Obama, the right thing to do is indict Obama.

    The word Honest has never been associated with Donald Trump, a simple review of his background is proof of that. Just ask the investigators in Hawaii... if there ever was any.

    That is a poor diversion. Trump is not indicted. i realize you are upset, but face it, he won't get indicted.

    I think that Mueller is very competent. Starr had no link to Clinton cramming a cigar up an intern's cooter and lying about it at this early stage of his investigation either sport. But he got there and was able to get Clinton impeached and disbarred for it. When the investigation started, Clinton hadn't even met Lewinsky. Mueller' probe will probably take at least a couple more years and he's got a bunch of professional dirt diggers out there digging away. I am interested in seeing what kind of dirt he can come up with on Trump and any and all of his cohorts. It seemed like Rush and all of the Dittoheads had a blast while Starr was hacking away, so maybe Mueller will come up with even more filthy salacious dirt on Trump. It could be really enjoyable for everyone. Give the man some time, be patient. This could be better than Watergate and Cigargate combined. Seeing scummy politicians exposed and humiliated is great theater. Sit back and enjoy the show, my man.

    Do you want to see his dirt on Hillary sport?

    I know all about the Clinton case and Ken Star and this is not the thread to engage in that.

    Lock him up, lock him up. I got some family in Supermax Colorado prison, they need someone to wait on them in jail, maybe Manafort will touch down in Colorado.

    Do me a favor and quote someone else saying that Trump could walk down 5th avenue, shoot someone, and retain the support of his followers.

    Again, someone other than Trump.

    I have been reading the dirt on Hillary since the mid '90s sport. Starr didn't even arrest her much less indict her. Then years of Benghazi/email hearings along with endless crap spewed out by idiots like Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and countless websites accusing her of multiple murders....Funny stuff....Now it looks like Trump and all his buddies are about to get their full anal exams. Getting things out in the open can be a healing process. You guys were cheering and laughing when Bill and Hillary were getting skewered and grilled. I thought it was pretty funny too, with the cigar and all...Now it's your time to sit back and enjoy it from the other side of the fence. It could be a great show. Cheers

    At the same time, it's up to the RNC to cross dots and t's. First Michael Flynn, and now Paul Manafort. Who else has Trump conveniently looked past their nefarious activities? When it was anonymous sources, I doubted it. But we have to face it: It's for real now, and it could go up as high as the President himself.

    That's a pretty desperate reply.

    I've already provided all that should be necessary to illustrate the meme the left created was a lie. Of course, for the left's media partners, erasing context has become a main feature of their business model.

    Bottom line, I can't help you with the favor, as I don't see a need to invest additional time to accomplish the same result,

    You can't quote anyone else making that statement because the only one who made that statement is Donald Trump. And he said it about you.

    Wow.

    Lots of people in the government have links to the Russian ambassador to the US.

    This is ground-breaking stuff here.

    Really, you've thrown out guilt by association, but what where is there a mention of Trump or any violations of law related to collusion?

    I'll help you since you seem to be struggling. There aren't any. You're showing what lefty desperation looks like.

    It's OK. Small part of a large-scale operation by Mueller's team. 3 indictments, 1 conviction. Stay tuned!
