And It Begins....

Well, Manafort goes to trial starting today.

What is your predicted outcome?

Me? Glad you asked...


I believe he will be found guilty of the smaller crimes. No collusion. And the big money laundering will be aquitted....you can't go after him for crimes he commited with the Podesta brothers and not charge them. So, in "equl justice", big ones dropped, little ones, guilty...big fines, and 2 years in club fed.

I honestly don't care about this trial. I'm still waiting on Comey/Hillary/Brennen/Strzok/Page to go to trial for their corruption.

Just another day at the office for this one.

With the level of corruption in Washington it is laughable that they are even wasting resources on Manafort. If he was named Clinton he would probably be getting an award instead of a trial.

Wish that would happen, but I doubt it....

They will all die before any charges are brought up.

That makes no sense.

The man will never eat in another restaurant or wake up in a bedroom with curtains and a rug
Not ever again. Lives are shorter when lived in prison. The man will get a life sentence if he doesn't turn on trump. That's a fact.

It's already happened. That's why when his trial is over he will just get some kind of candyass sentence like probation.

That makes no sense.

To clarify, the money laundering crimes he committed were done with the Podesta brothers lobbying firm...they are not charged, but he is. That is not equal justice.

Turn on Trump for what? Imaginary crimes?

No. Real crimes.

You do not know if the Podesta Brothers are guilty, or even accused, of doing something absolutely similar.

It's not even a good comparison, let alone a case of unequal justice.

There is nothing for him to say, and what he is going to trial about are things he did years ago... This is just a case of investigation of one thing that opens up ANYTHING they fine. Hell it could be an unpaid speeding ticket 30 years ago for all they care. Unless it is big we are wasting tax payers money.

What is your predicted outcome?

And excuse to put Trump on trial.

If you watched tv law.

EPIC in Picket Fences,Boston Legal,The Practice and every other hack show.

It's for damn sure Manafort won't be convicted of colluding with Russia to steal the election from Clinton.

a reply to: Sillyolme

Like?
I've asked this several times, but have never gotten a respone past "Trump is evil!!".What do the Left see happening here ( or desperately Hoping to see )?
IF Trump committed a crime and IF you can prove it and IF he's removed from office...what then?
You go after Pence and dig till you find something? Or is being part of Trump's team enough for him to be guilty of ....well I'm sure you can find a reason.
Once again...then what? Keep digging up dirt on every Republican who advances till you get a Democrat in the Oval Office?

But that's when all the investigations stop...right?

You hit it I think about all these guys. Whatever is discovered privately thats criminal..(and we the people won't know)...Mueller and the rest have a duty to report it and pursue recourse.

Get the popcorn...thanks!

To play Devil's Advocate, if it turned out Trump only won due to Russian interference then the argument could be made that his entire presidency is illegitimate. In which case the argument could be made that Pence isn't legitimately the VP. At that point technically the Speaker of the House should become President but I'm sure you'd get calls for a special election.

And it could be from either side. If such a case against Trump did emerge it almost definitely wouldn't conclude before November. Imagine the outcry from the Right if the the Dems took control of the House in the midterms.

That's a whole mess of wrong and omission.

1. There were six firms involved in Manafort's lobbying for Ukraine/PoR (ECFMU - European Centre for a Modern Ukraine). Two of the six firms worked in DC under the direction of Rick Gates. They were Podesta Group and Mercury LLC. Podesta Group lobbied Democrats and Mercury lobbied Republicans.

2. None of the firms were linked to Manafort & Gates's money laundering.

3. John Podesta left Podesta Group in the early 90's.

The only one of those people who's at any risk of ever going to trial is Hillary Clinton and it's a pretty tiny risk. What crimes are you alleging that Comey et al committed?
