Marcy reading between the lines on the redacted Manafort court documents.

It's always confused me why Trump and his cult have never considered the possibility that shady characters in his campaign colluded with Russia without his knowledge. Especially Manafort, who had the financial incentives, and Russian-connected intermediaries to do so.


Since i'm considered a Cultist by some here, i'll bite. I've always considered this to be a possibility and by far the most plausible story. Lot's of greedy people in politics and Trump hired a swath of people. I'm sure the amount of backhanded dealings by every administration would be staggering if relieved. It's how these schmucks get rich as career politicians.

Who knows the actual truth? I'm sure this investigation will be strung out for Trumps entire presidency for optics. No end in sight.

Trials will extend into 2020, but according to all the reporting the investigative portion should be ending soon. I'm readying the Hillary laughing GIFs for the day the first conspiracy indictment gets dropped. :thumbsup:

I'm being 100% honest in saying that I hope this happens for you. You've invested a lot into this investigation and I shudder to think what you'll do if/when this investigation flops to death like a fish on a boat deck.

Do you think investigation will officially wrap by years end? I don't.

he will probably 'switch sides back' to being a "Republican/Conservative". no way could he go for 16 years straight of rooting against the President and hoping that our Chief Executive fails (and by extension, the country fails)
at least we know there is still one fella in America who likes to look at Hillary Clinton all day :wacko:

Lol.

It's interesting stuff... if you compare what we knew in November 2016 to what we know now, it's really extraordinary the amount of connections and suspicious contacts between campaign officials and Russian/Russia-related individuals. Just the fact that Trump was showering Putin with praise and denying that Russia hacked the DNC during the campaign, all the while trying to cut an incredibly lucrative real estate deal in Moscow, is insane. Or that Paul Manafort had multiple contacts with a GRU-connected Russian during the campaign. We already have enough information that would sink any normal presidency... but Trump is treated differently by voters and Republican politicians. Absent a conspiracy indictment implicating him personally, he can survive basically anything.

I'm just disgusted at how you follow the details of things you talk about and don't just spam bullshit responses to things you don't follow at all and give mellow responses to facts

I consider us allies against the Trumpers but your clear mind and cool head make me absolutely sick

Judge voids Paul Manafort plea deal, says he 'intentionally' lied to the FBI, special counsel and grand jury

Meaning the guy will finish his life in prison or something like that
