The dems are all over the map on this one.
Some of them want Mueller shut down now (because it’s pointing towards hilLIARy) and some of them think that this proves it goes all the way to the top up to Trump (because it’s pointing to ...er...hilLIARy)
I assume you’re referring to the DNC chair with your reference to Dems thinking the rot goes all the way up, and the impression I got from that story was that The DNC chair is basing that declaration on Manafort having a brief involvement with the Trump campaign, while ignoring that the actual indictment is for activities that took place long before, when Manafort was entangled with various Hillary enablers.
On a side-note, I worked briefly with a group of Northeastern Libs, who were so in the tank for Hillary that during the initial stages of the post-election “Russia collusion” furor, they didn’t even want to continue discussing the topic if something got brought up that contradicted their head-script e.g. there were never 17 intelligence agencies looking into possible collusion. Those are the kind of people who are going to accept the DNC chair’s declaration as gospel, and will go full-on “LALALAICAN’THEARYOU” if you point out the actual charges and timeframe of the indictment.
If a Podestra is indicted the Dems and their bosses in the media will be screaming for Mulehead to be reined in as he is about to Democrats Wheaties bowl. They will become even more hysterical.
Remember when Comey was fired, and Colbert's audience hadn't been told how to think? He chastised them and introduced 2 minutes of damage control.
Same deal here....the enemy hasn't any clue how to respond yet, so they're all over the map (as you so eloquently put it). Let them flop around and enjoy the theater.
Best. Election. EVER.
