Correct me if I am wrong, but Manafort was working for the Podesta’s when all that stuff went down. What gives?

Mueller doesn't have a scam. He is tasked with giving the anti-Trump Deep State whatever they need. Bad press and indictments to hurt GOP election prospects? DONE. Innuendo and process crimes to feed an impeachment to help with 2020? DONE.

Trump could have cut this off at the knees in his first six months. But he listened to people he shouldn't have, and stayed his hand. Now it is far too late.

He should have fired Mueller and the whole partisan hack group of employees that work for him.

They requested a fast and speedy trial. Suddenly they aren’t in the news anymore. Weird.

I’m sure he figured they would never show up for the first hearing.
