Now that Paul Manafort has pleaded guilty, Mueller HAS to indict the Podesta brothers
The National Sentinel ^ | 9/14/18 | USA Features

Two Systems: As news reports noted Friday, a former campaign manager for POTUS Donald Trump, Paul Manafort, has pleaded guilty to failing to register as a foreign agent for Ukraine when he was doing some lobbying work on that country’s behalf.

Manafort decided to cooperate with special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe rather than face another trial and the prospect of several dozen more years behind bars following his first trial in which he was found guilty on a number of financial crimes.

But now that Manafort has pleaded, doesn’t Mueller now have to indict someone who had connections to Hillary Clinton’s campaign?

The answer is, of course, yes?

It’ll work out that nothing happens to them, regardless of guilt. We are no longer a nation of laws but a nation where bureaucratic courtiers determine the fate of men by how well they fit the narrative.

I would think so, yes. And also indict Cohen supposed defender, Lanny Davis who also worked for the same Ukranian mob.

How can Davis defending Manafort not be a conflict of interest due to both his association with Hillary Clinton and his working for the same Ukranian interests?

“On the surface, it will be because they did register, well after their activities, but before anyone called them out on it.”

Yes. I think Davis registered as a foreign agent.

Manafort also is being prosecuted more for laundering the money.

The Podesta/Davis Clinton operatives are experts at skirting the law.

Manafort is and always has been second rate.

It was a huge mistake to use him - he was never a Trump guy and was foisted on Trump by the RNC after Lewandowski was forced out.

I just find it a bit strange how a chump governor from Arkansas and his hippy/commie wife could be someone we now call “powerful people”.
He was a disgrace as a governor and even more so as a “blow job beggin” president.
His hippy/commie wife was nothing but a grifter and a conwoman.
MY HOW LOW WE HAVE SUNK.

It probably was, but Trump was new to DC, and they needed someone to whip the votes. I've read, IIRC, that Trump fired him when it became clear he was trying to embezzle--or at least direct in an obscure way--campaign funds to unspecified advertising sources.

It is. But looking over European history, there were a lot of half-wits granted kingly power by the fluke of inheritance. In the US, representative government, combined with a genuinely inquiring press, was supposed to protect us against that by giving the public the information needed to choose wisely among candidates for leadership.

It doesn't work that way anymore, IMHO. And, once someone gets the levers of power... well they are the levers of power and of in-crowd membership. It's not quite the One Ring of Middle Earth, but it's up there.

Actually he doesn’t have to do jack squat.

Apparently neither does the AG.

Interesting.

What appalling naivete.
