As long as Mueller can tell the difference.

Will Manafort start cooperating and begin to implicate Trump's inner circle, or what do the Feds have on Manafort from direct surveillance that was leaked out yesterday?

Question is will Trump dare to pardon Manafort before everything plays out?

This guy deserves to go down for the shit he did in Angola. Now that would be karma...the right wing eating its own.

Manafort has made millions representing demagogues. Made him the perfect fit for Trump. Zero morals, zero integrity, worships money. Trump must have loved the guy.

The special counsel investigating Russian election meddling has requested extensive records and email correspondence from the White House, covering everything from the president’s private discussions about firing his FBI director to his White House’s handling of a warning that President Trump’s then-national security adviser was under investigation, according to two people briefed on the requests.

I thought Trump had stopped such leaks.

Interesting to see if the WH will hand over such information without a fight and hopefully, that information will be leaked to the press also.

Less than two weeks before Donald Trump accepted the Republican presidential nomination, his campaign chairman offered to provide briefings on the race to a Russian billionaire closely aligned with the Kremlin, according to people familiar with the discussions.

Well, I can certainly understand why the Russians might want this. The Kremlin certainly wasn't getting the facts about the election from US based new sources and polling, so a competing perspective might have been helpful.

Why am I not surprised that you would defend the Trump campaign colluding with the Russians?
