So we are on the same page. We will soon see if we are right.
I had to come back to this thread to say we nailed it, lovedogs. Manafort was just too obvious. Nobody else received a pre-dawn raid with agents practically breaking down his doors with battering rams. Watch Trump distance himself from Manafort now!
So these are charges from before he joined the campaign? From 2012 when he was working with Podesta? (I'm on twitter trying to wade through the swamp)
I'm trying to work out the details, but I'm
About to hit the road home....
Follow the link posted by @mary poppins. It has the details on the indictment. But based on a quick perusal, the charges are not directly related to the election, but it does include acts committed in 2017.
Ok, I didn't see the 2017 part. I'm leaving though so BBL
ETA: Defrauding the government is money laundering, so I think it means he was still hiding money in 2017
I think the money laundering is a separate charge. I think the "defrauding the government" charge might have something to do with not filing taxes on the money. (Not a lawyer, just guessing.)
Case filed against Papadopoulos. This seems more problematic to Chump than the Manafort/Gates thing.

Yes and no. Manafort faces serious time. If he testifies against Trump-or any of the people like Donald Trump, Jr. or Jared Kushner with whom he met during the campaign-he can be very problematic indeed to Trump.
I have to say, I'm disappointed this morning.
It looks to be a big ole nothingburger as relating to Trump.

I don't have to be a lawyer because I play one-I mean see one-on TV. Actually I see about twenty on TV every morning as I watch a parade of them on MSNBC. Maybe thirty or more, not twenty. I see former Watergate prosecutors; former members of The House Judiciary Committee who recommended the impeachment of Richard Nixon; I see former CIA agents with law degrees; I see professors of law from Princeton who were former FBI agents; and so on. If I don't understand the issues after a couple of hours of watching, I am pretty dim!
I am afraid....................
That these men are just going to be the fall guys for Trump.
Sigh...
That this investigation will hit brick walls after this point.
HRC could be next!...No way. This was coordinated, nothing leaked until today (related to Papadopoulos). There are many more indictments to come.
