A lot of people, myself included, expected Manafort.

I personally think it's Manafort and possibly an associate like Rick Gates. I'm also going to speculate that it's a financial crime. Manafort is so effing dirty, from the start I couldn't imagine there was any way an investigation into him wouldn't result in some charges, even if it's got nothing to do with "collusion."

But here ... for you ...

Not a single collusion charge. It was indeed a fishing expedition.

You'll be told the collusion can come later.

I thought it was going to be a unicorn named Jeffery.

No wonder my bookie laughed at me when I placed my bet.

Flynn or Page next?

A waste of time, effort and money. The American people were played.

I read the Indictment, and there's a boatload of charges. Plus he's lied about everything, so there may be obstruction.
Isn't Soho Corp, Trump's? (Not sure, but he used them to launder money in 2012)

This ain't no joke. Things aren't looking good for this good-ole-boy criminal.

You're never going to get out of debt to those loan sharks placing bets like that.

They were laundering money... through real estate... in NYC... you connect the dots.

They did Trump's records too. If that was the case, why not simply go after Trump?

New York City is one of the largest real estate markets in the world, you need more than innuendo or commonality of markets for a charge.

This is how you build a foundation of a case. But in the end, this is a conspiracy website, and this seems like a lovely one.

That resulted in catching a criminal acting against the United States. How is that a waste? "We" always said Manafort was dirty whether it tied to the campaign or not. I'm sure you'll own up to that knowledge rather than pushing your typical leftists are bad/stupid rhetoric, right?

I repeat, they did Trump's records too. If there was a connection, it would have shown up.

I would've been more impressed if he predicted not one of the charges would have anything to do with Russian interference in the election.

So you guys were always after Manafort and never after Trump?

Hey go easy on them, they need something to cling to. This is a huge letdown for them.
