I've been saying that about Manafort for a long time. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this whole special counsel deal was set up so that crooked bastards like Manafort could be hung out to dry without President Trump's involvement.

The author and the juror he cites may really believe that Manafort was prosecuted for tax crimes only because he worked for President Trump. I think he was prosecuted for tax crimes because they couldn't prosecute him for being a Russian mole in the Trump campaign.

Agreed. They damn well could have prosecuted Manafort at any time leading up to this, but didn’t, and that says a lot about the process.

Manafort would be home sleeping in his bed right now if he could be Mule-face’s stooge against president Trump. They would have handed him an immunity deal in a heartbeat. They prosecuted him to try to stain the president with guilt by association. These lowlifes still don't understand the people's loyalty to president Trump. We still support him because we know the opposition is made up of swamp scum who are the enemy of every American citizen.
