On Monday morning, Special Counsel Robert Mueller officially issued the first charges in his ongoing investigation into the 2016 presidential election. Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and his longtime business partner Rick Gates were charged with 12 felonies ranging from lying to federal agents, tax fraud and money laundering.
But Mueller's probe isn't simply about Republicans.
During an interview with CNN Monday night, former CIA Director Leon Panetta said Mueller is just getting started and that Democrats should also be nervous.

And the $12 million dollar payoff to Oleg Oligarch...for ...wait for it...based on Manafort’s emails...”insider information on the Trump campaign.”
If she had won, none of this would have seen the light of day. But the worst of possible outcomes happened in the scheme...she lost.
So one has the Steele dossier and not the Manafort emails... I still am not seeing any Trump collusion, even on a fantasy game level.
Does anyone else see a parallel between ‘Russian Collusion’ and “The Book of Esther”?
I’m beginning to feel like I’m watching the movie thriller of a lifetime and the music and heartbeat are at a peak of suspense, waiting for the hero to arrive, the suspense to blow wide open, and a happy ending where the bad guys and girls go to prison or take their own life.
Ill believe it when I see it, and I dont expect to. Mueller and his brood of Clinonites have no aim but to destroy Trump.
I’ll believe it when I see it. Mueller is a Clinton cronie and a crooked cop who himself was involved in covering up their crimes.
On the other hand, perhaps co-opting the appointment of another SC so he can cover his own ass.
He never said they should be investigated, he said they were going to be and that people should not be surprised. I know that may seem like subtle difference but its not when you know the types were dealing with here.
Correct. The argument against is that he filed the first one and then waited as someone unrelated filed 4 sealed cases and then he filed the other case all on Friday. No one is claiming that Monday was the end of it.
Did Panetta get served?
Yeh Leon Panetta being my go to guy for legitimate information. Not! :-)
My guess is Tony Podesta and Marc Elias will be the next arrests.
Not indictments
Just 4 sealed cases that could be about anything or anyone.
You could go all the way back to the Hanoi Hilton if you really wanted to!
“Disgusting post.”
I felt that calling them Italians did a disservice to the millions of decent Italians who are an asset to our country. So you tell me how do you distinguish this human trash? Call them Mafiosi? They are just words.
He will indict rats on a lesser charge dismiss it so he can look like he is being fair
Boomerang effect.
Mueller gave Mannafort a poison pill in his prosecution aka get out of jail free card. This will tesult in everything against Mannafort being thrown out, everything
btt
I agree. I don’t care where they come from.. that is really the definition of draining the swamp. Manafort was a POS. The good news is Trump always comes out smelling like a rose. He’s only been a “politician” for like two years.
Maybe Mueller will go after some lower-level Democrats, but the chief culprits are in no danger--Obama, Hillary, Comey, John Podesta, Mueller himself...
