Tucker on Fox is already priming the viewers for a pardon, he's claiming what Manafort did is what Congressmen and Senators do all the time, meet with foreigners and get lobbied by them.

Tucker would have a sex change operation if it meant he could have Donnie's babies...

Derp state insider was very likely planted inside Mannafort's circle of "friends" and had access to the account.

Or, obviously, one of those dudes flipped--likely his assistant, Rick Gates is it? that was the 2nd guy indicted, with Mannafort at #1, to get the ball rolling on all of this. I think that guy had very little money, relatively, and can't afford the type of defense that Mannafort can with his criminal treason-obtained wealth, so had no other out.

Or the sooper sekret email account and password was locked away in Cohen's office safe. 12345 is a tough password to crack.

That's the password to my luggage

lol... what a maroon.
how the fuck did someone like him fool anyone, ever, anywhere?
I want to be able to say that but interacting with the dumb fu*ks on this forum and other places reminded me I've known some (fortunately very few) dumb fu*ks in my life who not only want to be fu*ked by evil but beg for it but only if their abusers use spikey, razor sharp inanimate objects as brutally as possible because somehow hate makes more sense and hurts less than decency.

They didn't fall for Trump's shit... They've been eagerly awaiting the plague to validate them, abuse them and best of all hopefully make it worse for anyone who disagrees with them or who is different from them.

Some victims want to be victims and those are the ones who nurture and feed the disease they spread.

** you did tell me not to sugar coat it, right?

Jesus. Yup, that's why the fucker got arrested and then tried to engage in witness tampering. In a sane world, there's a not particularly elegant Guns n' Roses lyric that would spring to mind:

"You think anyone with an IQ over FIFTEEN would believe your shit?" (directed at Fox, not soundforbjt)

Dump thinks it's "unfair" that Manafort and his Russian buddy aren't allowed to tamper with witnesses and had to go to jail.

What an adorable little orange brat, just adorable. Hahaha

I heard the jail they sent him to is known to be cockroach infested. Wondering if just a coincidence??????

Wow, that'd make for a fun question at the White House press briefer.
I mean, frame it just like that and let Sarah roll...
Blame the parents for bringing them illegally. That's all they would do. Ignoring that they are now even trying most asylum seekers criminally after dropping many of the protections that used to be considered for asylum.

......................

As far as Manafort is concerned, fair enough he should've known.
The part of your post I quoted above was for me the most encouraging thing I've read so far in this thread. I appreciate hearing it.

Their parents are being charged with misdemeanors. That's what America will become, children being removed from homes for misdemeanor crimes.

Sucker did not go to the DC jail like I wanted so he would know what it's like to fear for his life overnight. Nah, he's in a NOVA VIP lockup. Pisses me off!

as much as I would enjoy seeing him in a pmita prison, he's just being held prior to the trial, so it's really no big deal. And who knows, maybe it's keeping him safe from some folks who would appreciate his permanent silence.

Problem arises when the keepers take roll call and they can't tell the difference between Manafort and the other cockroaches skittering around in the cell they're sharing. ;)

Maybe, I think Manafort is waiting for the inevitable pardon.

There is another possibility I have nightmares about and it that Trump had no part in and no knowledge about Russian collusion so there is nobody higher up the ladder to rat on. That would be a nothingburger I might choke on.

The ultimate useful idiot... But yea...
Still there is no doubt in my mind that Trump is now coorporating directly with Putin.. It is all about what can be proven and what can not.
