    Well, the Russian probe continues to grow.

    "Special counsel Robert Mueller on Friday filed new witness tampering criminal charges against ex-Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort as well against Russian citizen and former Manafort operative Konstantin Kilimnik.

    The superseding indictment — the third against Manafort issued by a Washington, D.C., federal grand jury — came days after Mueller asked a judge to revoke Manafort's $10 million bail and jail him because of alleged efforts to tamper with potential witnesses at his upcoming trials."

    For the Trumpsters who are trying their best to ignore the facts of the Russia case, consider the Kilimnik was Manafort's right hand man, and was widely referred to in Ukranian circles and "the man from the GRU"

    So now you have an indictment that directly links a known Russian intelligence operative with the campaign manager of a US Presidential campaign during an election year.

    Kilimnik is also a known close associate of Oleg Deripashky, the Russian gangster that Trump's campaign manager owes $19 million to.

    I do not know whether Kilinik was involved in Manafort's offer to provide the Russian operatives insider briefings on the campaign he was running.

    But, at this point, there is little doubt that the man Donald Trump picked to be his campaign manager was in very deep with the Russians.

    Of course, Trump is in very deep with the Russians owing to the fact that they hold the paper on most of his real estate.

    I'm very sure that Mueller will be looking at that very closely, if he isn't already doing so.

    If Lobbying on the behalf of Ukraine to work closer with the EU is an issue why was the angel Mueller doing just that at the same time Manafort was?

    The building blocks are being put in place; you have to start at the beginning on a multi-tiered conspiracy like what took place in the 2016 election.

    And why isn't PODESTA BEING CHARGED, as he was Manafort's partner in this EXACT ENDEAVOR?

    Oh yeah.....the Grand Buffoon and his insanely corrupt Witch Hunt IGNORE democrat crimes....

    Who do you think he was lobbying with? Same people as the Podesta group.

    Lobbying isn’t illegal
    Why don’t you read what Manaforts charged with?

    Where do you get this drivel?????

    Manafort was being paid by the Russians to run a poltical campaign for their puppet Viktor Yanokovich. Klemnik was there to keep an eye on Manafort and report to his bosses at the GRU.

    Oh heck yeah we do... that's known

    SNIP
    Kilimnik and Manafort also exchanged a series of emails during the 2016 presidential campaign about helping a Russian billionaire. The two used code words, but investigators believe Manafort was offering to provide “private briefings” to Oleg Deripaska. Deripaska is reportedly very close with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

    "THE END IS NEAR" will be a phrase the left repeats for the next 6 years, until DJT's second term comes to a close, in which case after the 2024 president is sworn in, they'll declare a resounding victory because they got him out of office, completely ignoring term limits.

    You people are so entirely unhinged.

    So, Trump's campaign manager was indicted for conspiring with a Russian agent. Collusion with the Russians, that is.

    Thus, it's been proven that every Trump backer wailing "no collusion!" for the past year was completely wrong. That's no longer debatable by any honest person.

    If they had any class, such Trump fanatics would publicly apologize to the board and to the USA for backing a traitor, and for spitting bug-eyed hatred at the non-traitors.

    Sycophants can't think for themselves, they must be told what to think next.
