Manafort guilty.

[bripat9643]

Look at all these desperate liberals trying to link this to Trump. It's truly pathetic. They can't being Trump down, so they cheer when any of his former colleagues or acquaintances are convicted of breaking the law. Somehow they believe it to be an indictment... on his character.

(smiles slyly)

I hope Trump pardons him. It will be the 4th of July all over again when liberal heads across this board and America explode.

Trump picks the best people. He says so himself.

Clearly not true, but you're dumb enough to take his statements at face value. Do you really think I believed him when said "I pick the best people"? No.

We're quoting what Trump said about his own judgment.

And the evidence contradicts his assertions. Trump when choosing people surrounds himself with liars, cheats, tax frauds, grifters, and embezzlers. Or as Trump likes to call them.......the 'best people'.

I think Michael Cohen said something very, very interesting today.

Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former personal attorney, pleaded guilty in Manhattan federal court Tuesday to eight criminal counts, admitting that "in coordination and at the direction of a candidate for federal office" he acted to keep information that would have been harmful to the candidate and the campaign from becoming public during the 2016 election cycle.

A candidate for federal office was his coconspirator, huh?

Three guesses on who that candidate was.

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Unless there is proof that Trump directed him to do something that stupid...

Like...audio tapes? Signed documents? Things like that?

 

[Skylar]

You are FAR from informer and at best you read comets book. Libtards are to lazy to read facts. Back to Cohen and campaigne finance violations. You imply that since Manifort fails to bring Trump down, that this campaign violation stuff will bring the Trump down?

Far from 'informer' huh?

Shall I quote to you what Michael Cohen said about the he acted 'in coordination and at the direction' of a candidate for federal office?

Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former personal attorney, pleaded guilty in Manhattan federal court Tuesday to eight criminal counts, admitting that "in coordination and at the direction of a candidate for federal office" he acted to keep information that would have been harmful to the candidate and the campaign from becoming public during the 2016 election cycle.

Michael Cohen plea deal - CNNPolitics

Hmmm.....who ever could Cohen be talking about?

No one has managed to explain how that is a crime.

How conspiring with Michael Cohen on the campaign finance violations he committed could be a crime? The Tax Fraud, False Statements and Bank and Campaign violations he's plead to tied to his service for Donald Trump.

But you don't know how any crimes could have been committed by Trump?

Laughing.....good luck with that one.

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

Um.....Manafort has been in the news for *years*. Just because you've never heard his name before doesn't mean everyone else is similarly ignorant.

WHO CARES?

I think we should lock up all those who blindly continue to support Trump

At some point in your life my friend, you are in for a rude awakening. A two-year "investigation" using every available resource of the DOJ is no closer to indicting President Trump than it was when it first started.

Meanwhile, if you fully understood the severity of which President Trump has been systematically destroying everything you liberals, Democrats and progressives in this country have worked so hard for, you'd be curled up in your closest in a fetal position, sucking your thumbs, and crying yourselves to sleep every night.

And the beauty of it is, Trump has another two years to go with the possibility of another term.

You have absolutely no gag reflex after all of that throat you gave Trump -- impressive

I am more impressed with the little bits of Obama's cum dribbling down your chin. That anyone could do that for a lowlife Marxist crackhead Chicago "community organizer" shows me that you have far more resolve than I do.

Who is Obama's personal lawyer and how many felony charges did he plead guilty to?

Who is Obama's campaign manager? How many felony counts was he convicted on?


now go rinse your throat out -- again

 

[Fiero425]

Well the delusions and rationalizations are off and running! Trump can be led away in handcuffs and these jokers wouldn't believe it!

Was Trump convicted of something?

It's called being "an unindicted co-conspirator!" Guilt by association with Trump the HUB of the wheel of corruption!

 

[boedicca]

I have a theory.

This French-style Reign of Terror to get Trump impeached is going to work as well to get him impeached as the sex think worked against Bill Clinton.

That is my theory, it is mine and belongs to me, and I own it and what it is, too.

I don't think 'Reign of Terror' means what you think it means. As Mueller hasn't been partial to the use of the guillotine. Or any executions. Or mass incarcerations.

It means exactly what I think it means. It's about show trials to intimidate people for political purposes. Stalin was quite expert at this.

The tax and bank fraud for which Manafort was prosecuted by Mueller is not something that a Special Counsel should be investigating. These are vanilla, routine charges that are handled by lower courts across the country.

Which brings me to the real issue. The entire Mueller investigation is bogus as there is no crime identified in his appointment. It's a Stalin-Robespierre style Reign of Terror aimed to support a coup against Trump.

Period.

End of Story.

 

[bripat9643]

No one has managed to explain how that is a crime.

Really? I saw it explained in great detail. Keep looking.

Then post it, weasel.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Time served and fines at the most.

He has not served any time for any of these charges.

He has been in jail awaiting charges. That will count toward time served

Not for these charges, he has been in jail awaiting trial for the charges against him in DC, the case he starts next week.

 

[Bush92]

This has nothing to do with Trump. “Where’s the beef?” This is a nothing burger.

Co-conspirator in what crime, asshole? The law doesn't allow indictments based on "guilt by association." That's purely a leftwing principle of injustice.

If you have an argument to make, make it BIll. With evidence.

For example, Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen plead guilty to 8 felony counts.....and implicated the president as his co-conspirator today.

Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former personal attorney, pleaded guilty in Manhattan federal court Tuesday to eight criminal counts, admitting that "in coordination and at the direction of a candidate for federal office" he acted to keep information that would have been harmful to the candidate and the campaign from becoming public during the 2016 election cycle.

Michael Cohen plea deal - CNNPolitics

That can't be good for Trump.

And Trump's former campaign chair was found guilty of 8 felonies today and faces up to 80 years in prison.

Manafort was found guilty on five counts of submitting false tax returns, one count of failing to report foreign bank and financial accounts, and two counts of bank fraud.

He faces a maximum of 80 years in prison.

Paul Manafort trial: Jury finds former Trump campaign manager guilty on 8 counts in tax fraud case

See? Real people with actual names and evidence backing up what they did and what they've been convicted of.

Now you try.

They aren't campaign finance violations. That's based on the bogus theory that Trump wouldn't want Stormy to shut the fuck up if he wasn't running for office.

A statement made under threat of prison time is utterly worthless. It doesn't hold weight in a court of law. Furthermore, Mueller can't indict Trump, so it's purely a public relations issue for Trump.

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

Good for Mueller doing the job of the IRS.

He caught a tax cheat from 2005.

What a fucking bad ass.

Maybe Al Sharpton is next.

No Trump/Putin rigging the 2016 POTUS election, huh?

Nah they wouldn’t go after sharpton. He isn’t a republican

But its Republicans who are in control of the investigation, the FBI and the DOJ

[conserveguy877]

Does the spotlight on the Trump Russia Hoax ever end?

 

[idb]

You are fast.

She's easy as well. Look at all these imbeciles celebrating this as if they've won anything. Some guy they never heard of before has been convicted of tax evasion that was supposed to look into whether Russia messed with the 2016 election (still not even ONE person found who claims their vote was changed), still no proof that Russia really actually did it, still no evidence whether anyone in the Trump campaign was really collaborating in it in any illegal way, and certainly nothing on the man Trump himself.

So in other words:

ZERO.
ZERO, and
ZERO.

Trump is still president, Trump is going to STAY president, there is no evidence of foreign tampering much less Trump Campaign collaboration, not a single vote has ever been shown changed, Mueller's investigation a total fail on what it was set up to look into, and if there really was any election hanky-panky by a foreign power, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING accomplished that will fix anything to stop it from happening again this fall much less in 2020 and beyond.

And all the Leftards stand around circle-jerking themselves off telling themselves they scored big today.

I guess when your EVERY FORECAST for success and victory has gone face-down into the dirt since 2008, a petty crook getting his just rewards for petty personal crimes must really seem like you got something. Actually, they could HANG Manafort for tax crimes, it won't do JACK to put one Democrat into office.

Trump agreed that there has been foreign tampering in the US elections.
Are you calling him a liar?
