Judicial fascism on parade! Pathetic.

This is ridiculous. Mueller is totally out of control.

They treat mass murderers better.

Trump would have had the nomination stolen from him by Cruz and the establishment had he not hired Manafort.
There is no President Trump without Manafort.
Where is our Attorney General????????????????
A nicely done overview of the “matter”.
There needs to be some serious keel hauling followed by some drawing and quartering.
Sessions is a Statist, relatively unconcerned with Personal Liberty, even for deplorables.
