Convictions of Manafort and Cohen had nothing to do with Russian collusion or anything Mueller was charged to investigate.
of course not. It wont matter. Let me give you an analogy. I task you to find the remote control that I think is under the couch. You go hunting for it. You search and search for it. Everything you find under that couch, stuff thats been buried for years, you put on the coffee table. When I come back, I ask if youve found the remote. Well, no, you say, but I found all this pile of other stuff. You found some pens, an old piece of gum and a bunch of other trash. Some change.
Thats whats going to happen here. The Dems and RINOs are NOT going to care that Mueller went looking for a remote. They are only going to care about the pile of crap piled on the table, even though it wasnt his job to pile crap on the table. The damage will have been done.
