If what Manafort did was commonplace for the creatures of DC and no one else was ever held to those standards, isn't that the foundation for an affirmative defense? If the Podesta's did the same thing, or more, and they weren't prosecuted, why does he? If the Podesta's were allowed to retroactively document what they did, why can't he?
If these stories are true, about Mueller getting more DOJ lawyers to "help" with the cases, going forward, couldn't it mean that he knows this dog is riddled with fleas and he can try and let some junior DOJ lawyer take the hit when these cases blow up in their faces?
Wanna see my shocked face?
It will be presented as a October surprise and will be fake. It will get 24/7 coverage by the propagandist media.
I do NOT think a defense can be mounted saying Manafort is no dirtier than Podesta. That’s a kindergarten approach. It is the same “No Jaywalking” sign for both of them.
Not point. Pretext.
