I disagree....I think Manafort is in real trouble. He cut deals with Russians to avoid taxes years ago. Nothing but good old fashioned greed and he dodged taxes. He’s going to jail. Flynn...too early to tell, but I think he’s in real,trouble as well. I’ll bet good money the FBI fudged his testimony, which might get him off the hook, but I’ll go on record saying he’ll go to jail as well. And I certainly do not believe Mueller is a white hat. We can respectfully revisit this in a year and see.......cheers and Go Irish <irish guard

Guess I can’t argue with you on your special day, Irish. :)

My gut tells me Flynn was framed and the charges are out of line. That'll get cleared up.

I think Manafort is a little dirty, but not as bad as team Mueller claims. McCarthy did a good piece on the Gates charge and plea bargain. Manafort is in about the same boat. Not lilly white. The fact that Manafort is willing to go to trial tells me Mueller does not have a slam dunk case. I'll be surprised if Manafort goes to jail. If he is tried and convicted, I bet he gets the Scooter Libby treatment - sentence commuted. That is three years out.
