    Isn't interesting that the Senate investigation never spoke with Manafort. This is a reoccurring theme with the GOP...ignoring the obvious and pertinent witnesses on all issues.

    Media speculation #278,103. These hourly smoking bombshells just don't have the impact they once did. Here's how things are likely going to go:

    1. Mr Mueller will finish his report.
    2. Within minutes there will be a massive Democrat demand to see it.
    3. Blog sites and MSM dregs will start to circulate a fear that the Trump Administration is editing the report or destroying evidence - even though Mr Mueller's team was the ones destroying evidence.
    4. There will be hearings on the report - it will last over a month, possibly longer - the Dems will want to drag it out.
    5. The report will not detail any collusion, however Democrat questioning during hearings will be designed to get witnesses to admit otherwise - they will dodge the questions, media will report as if they confirmed it even when they wont be.
    6. Mr Mueller will go from hero of the nation to enemy of the people when he cannot give Democrats justification to impeach.
    7. The dust will settle and the truth that there was never any collusion will eventually be accepted.
    8. The Democrats will then pivot to the endless series of other "investigations" for which they are currently preparing for.
    9. In short time everyone will forget about this witch hunt, the money it wasted, the crimes it overlooked, and the civil rights it trampled.

    Why would it since Manafort is allegedly guilty of things before any association with the campaign?

    I'll accept the conclusion no matter which direction the axe falls, how about you?

    Yeah that's real interesting, especially when you recall that Manafort wasn't charged for working with Russians.

    For beginners, meeting with Russians in Trump Tower after Junior told them he was eager and willing to meet with them to receive their aid, that alone should have triggered a need for any investigation supposedly examining Russian attempts to influence the election to interview the participants at that meeting

    You mean the democrat connected Russian that met with democrats before and after the Trump Tower meeting? So far all of the real evidence of Russian collusion comes from the democrats.

    You ask that as if either of us have a choice.

    Good point. It's a gesture anyway.

    Yes, if the evidence against Trump is direct and indisputable.

    You?

    Yeah, truth is I don't expect anything major from all this.

    That's your best argument right now.

    When Trump and his son will be also accused, the next logical step is for you to pull out the Deep State conspiracy card.

    In the meantime, the Trumpsters - of which you are a part - have great difficulty explaining why so many of the President's collaborators are going to serve prison sentences, victims of an investigation that was supposed to be nothing more than a witch hunt.

    Arguing?

    I never argue, my friend. Debating yes, sometimes. But never argue.
