Trump won't lose supporters over Manafort, Cohen — despite what liberal media are spewing
Fox News ^ | 8/23/18 | Liz Peek

**SNIP**

Trump supporters think an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s actions was inadequate and tainted. The FBI conducted a far too limited investigation of Clinton’s use of her own private computer server to handle her email communications – including classified emails – when she was secretary of state. Clinton then lied about what seems to be a clear security breach. Her aides were granted immunity in the investigation for no apparent purpose, and her interview with the FBI was not recorded in any fashion. On top of that, Attorney General Loretta Lynch met secretly with former President Bill Clinton during the probe of his wife. This all seems highly suspect.

Many Trump supporters believe writer Peter Schweizer disclosed wrongdoing by the Clintons and their foundation. Schweizer is the author of the book “Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Business Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich.” The book documents numerous instances of apparent pay-to-play involving questionable donations to the Clinton Foundation and exorbitant speaking fees paid to former President Bill Clinton by organizations that had received favors from then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Trump fans wonder why the investigations into those activities were sidelined by the FBI.

The Mueller probe has yet to disclose any evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia. Democrats are giddy that White House Counsel Don McGahn spoke openly with Mueller’s team, assuming he may have revealed damaging information about President Trump. Trump voters consider the openness indicative of innocence on the part of the president, who approved the conversations. The White House has operated under a cloud of suspicion for well over a year, beset by allegations that are as yet unfounded.

Every day of delay only makes some people angrier about the double system of justice:

Dems skate, conservatives must follow the law or be imprisoned.

Actually I think he will. He has a Jeff Sessions problem that he needs to deal with stat. Cohen pleading guilty to non-crimes to make Trump look bad is that last straw for a corrupt DOJ and either Session needs to pull the plug or Trump does. It really is Session's last chance.

Well no duh. They’ve been throwing the kitchen sink at this guy for over three full years now, why would this nothing-burger be the magic story that finally got conservative Americans to abandon Donald Trump?

“I don’t want to hurt the Clintons, I really don’t,” Mr. Trump said during the interview. “She went through a lot and suffered greatly in many different ways, and I am not looking to hurt them at all." -- President-Elect Donald Trump, quotes in the New York Times (11/22/16)

He's been all over the map on this one, hasn't he?

The big question is... what is Mueller planning for his October surprise? Will he indict Trump’s kids? Will he try to indict Trump himself?

Why would anyone turn on Trump because of Sessions?

He had to give Sessions a plumb job because of his early support. Why would anyone blame Trump for Sessions turning out to be a lemon?

Even if Mulehead does find evidence, collusion is not a crime.

To turn on Trump is to side with our enemies. Don’t think for a minute that you can cozy up to Hillary Clinton and that bunch. They hate us and will use the entire power of the corrupt government agencies to go after you and finish us off so they never lose another election. The Never Trumpers, the supposed “conservatives” like George Will, Rubin, McCain’s campaign staff, etc. are in it for themselves - that way, they get a few cents by trashing Trump and might even get invited to a Georgetown soiree - as trusted conservative tokens. They are not our friends, either.

When will Hillary’s trial start? Outstanding question that should be asked every day of every media outlet, of every politician, of every law enforcement agency. We need to keep hammering away until they’re sick of us.

Sessions needs to go stat. Trump needs to fire him now alond with Rosenstein. The new acting AJ and DAJ can then put Mueller on ice an review his actions and, hopefully, fire the whole kaboodle.

Then we can get on with actually doing the things that need to be done to fix the country and campaigning for the fall. Sure the press and dims will scream blue bloody murder, but they have been anyway. With RR and Mueller defanged at least people can breath as sigh of relief and not think that every breath takes them one step closer to being indicted for some Trumped up charge.

This albatross around our national neck has gone on for too long and folks are bitterly sick of it. We need to move on [and deal with the traitors and child molesters in normal order under a DOJ focused on actual as opposed to political crimes].

Pay attention. If you listen, folks have had it up to here. It isn't turning on Trump. It is people are sick to death of Sessions and the DOJ DSers holding the national agenda hostage. It needs to end, and Trump's supporters are with him if he acts. But Sessions has run out all the line on the reel and Trump needs to cut him off.

I don’t disagree with you on any particular point, but I don’t see how any of it diminishes Trump in any way.

We know he has deeply entrenched enemies; does anyone really expect him to sort them out like a South American Dictator?

Sorting out the DOJ was Sessions sole job. He didn’t do it.

After today, I’m predicting Sessions and Rosenstein are gone on November 13th, which is 1 week after the elections.

It is fairly obvious that President Trump will pardon Manafort at the earliest politically expedient date. I doubt that Cohen will be sentenced to no time behind bars by his handlers for turning on President Trump. This is all a big show, a big nothingburger.

But Sessions isn’t Trump.

Sessions had any job he wanted for the asking. I can’t see how his reticence to do the job he wanted reflects poorly on Trump.
