Paul Manafort, the onetime chairman of President Donald Trump's campaign, has been indicted along with his former colleague, Rick Gates. The indictments mark the beginning of a new phase in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian attempts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. The timing of the indictment suggests that Mueller is pursuing a legal strategy typically reserved for cases involving drug cartels and mafia families.

We had a big robbery. The statute of limitations ran out on the robbery charge. What didn’t run out was the fact that they owed the taxes on the stolen money.

What the hell does this have to do with the American people “colluding” with the Russkis to keep Clintoon from taking over the throne? Fire Mueller and the Clintoon shyster lawyers NOW!

So much for the “Mueller’s a secret double agent theory.”

Yeah, I've been laughing about that one since it first surfaced.

No one will do business with the Russian Federation ever again.

Isn’t that cesspool of Washington great. We have one set of crooks prosecuting another set of crooks. Time for a cleaning of the hose and firing the bunch and replacing them with random choices from the Midwest phone books.

I agree with you.

And the fact that the statute of limitations is in play here for the indictment seems odd.

Honestly when they pulled the raid and they started talking about this stuff, a little research showed much of it is beyond the limitations even if guilty.

Second, Mueller is treating this like a mafia investigation? Jeeeesus.

Yup, we were told,yesterday, that we would eat crow when we saw what a standup guy Mueller is. Sessions, hard at work behind the scenes and Mueller and Trump working together.

This is called: “We still don’t recognize Trump as President”. What - turn the screws so this guy talks? for a 2012 tax return? As in Trump just wouldn’t pardon the guy.

Get Real.

I had a suspicion this was a big nothing. Oh, well: Let’s see who paid for a fake dossier. I do believe names should be released today.

Given the alleged offense and the people Manafort was associating with at the time, discovery could be interesting.

That’s the right law, but there is a wiggle room on the 5 years that can take it to 7.

Mueller will NOT be fired. He will be around until Trump leaves office, one way or another.

Sessions will NOT prosecute Hillary and the 'Rats. The Deep State is in charge and it is they who run this country.

There is only one way to stop the Deep State and it doesn't involve the "law."
