    The Clinton's sold: Missile Guidance Technology and Submarine Technology to China and Uranium to Russia.... WTF are you babbling about?

    We either have equal application of laws, or we don't have valid laws.

    Presumably Mueller will 'lean on' this 68 year-old, 'pressure' him, get him to 'sing' and confess whatever they're trying to prove. I think Mr. Manafort is a fairly sophisticated attorney and could have some tricks of his own.

    Guilty Plea Equals No "Witch Hunt". By Definition

    Trump's favorite Twitter talking point has just been effectively demolished.

    Attempted collusion: Guilty as charged.

    Now Trump is reduced to arguing that no major players in his circle are/were guilty of campaign/Russia crimes, that nothing came of now proven collusion attempts, and that he himself is totally innocent. The Rubicon has been crossed with this first admission of guilt, a line that an indictment alone would not have irrefutably crossed.

    Trump can argue that Mueller's continuing probe is wasting taxpayer money, but he can no longer claim that there's absolutely no "there" there. Now it is only a matter of degree, and the crime's ultimate proximity to the current occupant of the Oval Office.

    The entire Right wing counteroffensive over the last 5 days for dismissing both the probe and Mueller himself has just been popped and drained, all with one simple guilty plea.

    Yup. Anyone who is guilty of any malfeasance - taking advantage of power, screwing the country, etc. - should be locked away.

    Actually, I screwed up the list too. There was a 12th charge that I missed "Falsifying Information". I think I accidentally skipped over that to the Asset Forfeiture section.

    So it doesn’t say it all, it talks about those things yes, but those hints had been ongoing for a decade before the campaign.

    Then he lied on a form.... none of that is some grand showing that Trump colluded with Russia to win the election.

    The they was the press and pollsters. Just have to read the transcripts or listen to the whole thing to see the context.

    Nothing today points to collusion by Trump. He will serve out his entire term and probably get elected again.

    A guilty plea for lying. And what did he lie about? Nothing illegal. So where’s the guilt for collusion again?

    Well. the dream that comes true if partially, is still a nice dream, right? If just first three out of four are convicted and incarcerated, I'd be content.

    So, what's happening with the Confirm Podesta Group that was directly linked to these same campaigns as wrapped up Manafort?

    I'm sure it will go on for years. Eight years to be precise and then when Trump is gone the so called investigation will fade into political dirty tricks oblivion

    Comey going to do a press conference and explain how even though he is guilty as hell, that "no reasonable prosecutor would pursue the case"?

    TDS is a condition which prevents those effected from seeing through the lies and schemes of a super con man like Donald. Trump explained it perfectly when he said that he could go out and shoot someone to death in the middle of 5th Ave. and his lemmings would still vote for him. That is what I call TDS...
