It all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down...

 

[keuja]

Now to watch Manafort dragging Trump with him to save his sorry ass.

 

[BlastProcessing]

An indictment is pretty much nothing except the state having an official legal claim it's not a slam dunk or really a win after the defense lawyers come in

Good point, Federal Indictments only have a 93% conviction rate. It's probably nothing to worry about.

I'm not sure if if they can beat 90%+ twice.

[metalslimer]

I can't believe someone seriously came in this thread an unironically posted a federal indicrment meant nothing. That's pretty much thread shitting at this point

 

[Harrison Bergeron]

Surely Ty Cobb will be able to get Trump out of this.

You know guys, Killary had a 93% chance to win!

[Deuce Deuce]

You think Mueller is playing checkers here? He's playing 4D Dota.

Lol. Nearly choked on my food reading that.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Interesting

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

Trump turns on the TV to see Manafort being taken out in handcuffs.

He quickly tweets out an announcement that he'll be firing Sessions.

Then he runs to the Oval Office and turns on the light, only to see Mueller sitting at his desk.

"Trying to stop me from filing charges against you? Did you think I'd show my hand if there was any way for you to stop me?

I did it thirty minutes ago."

Comey steps out of the curtains and slaps Trump in handcuffs.

Go ahead, Trump. Fire Mueller. Show us how innocent you are.

i've read the bios on some of attorneys hes assembled and i'd like to believe this "leaking" is intentional to scare the shit out of these people

Doesn't take much to rattle Trump's cage. Then he rattles everyone else's.

So you're saying that Russia has infiltrated Mueller's team?

 

[Queen Vulpix]

This is good news to hear though I assume it's foolish of me to hope this news somehow someway stops/scares congress from their focus of trying to ram their repeal bill before the deadline?

 

[Garrett 2U]

Hillary had a 93% chance of winning too.

Sarcasm, please don't ban me.

 

[Nekofrog]

If Trump is playing 3d chess and Mueller is playing 4d Othello, who is playing 3d dot heroes? I can't keep up on the games these kids play nowadays

 

[BrassDragon]

didn't Bill Browder in his testimony directly name a damn syndicate that some of these pro-Putin scum probably have ties to..? Brotherhood something iirc... one of the biggest crime syndicates in the world? i may be way off base here though lol (watched the testimony tired at work).

oh man imagine..

That's the Klyuev Group, the criminal conspiracy with heavy ties to Russian tax offices and law enforcement. They defrauded Western companies of their Russian assets and then engineered the death of lawyer Sergei Magnitsky when he tried to expose their money laundering setup.

A lot of money flowing into the US lobbying circuit to fight the Magnitsky Act has been traced to Klyuev but I can't recall any direct connection with Manafort or the Trump Campaign.

However, Manafort's finances have been murky (see the Ukranian 'black ledger' affair) so it's possible Mueller is drilling down to find such links.

 

[Locke562]

You don't need the absurd number (not to mention caliber) of attorneys Mueller has assembled to just go after Manafort. This is just the opening salvo.

 

[Knoxcore]

Is it wrong that I can't wait to see the movie?

Suddenly today Don Jr is also stopping his secret service detail that follows him everywhere he goes. Suspicious.

Source? All I know is that his Secret Service code name is 'Mountaineer'.

My justice boner has been edged for too long. I need a conclusion or I'm going to be suffering consequences from the priapism.

 

[lupinko]

So, when do we have Orrin Hatch's inauguration?

 

[Dude Abides]

Good point, Federal Indictments only have a 93% conviction rate. It's probably nothing to worry about.

To be fair, though, not many federal defendants are as well-positioned to defend themselves as Manfort is.

 

[Xe4]

To be fair, though, not many federal defendants are as well-positioned to defend themselves as Manfort is.

And not many federal prosecutors are as able and have the same resources as Mueller. It runs both ways here.

What exactly is going to save him from having pretty much all his activities surveilled for three years?

Comey steps out of the curtains and slaps Trump in handcuffs.

Comey slowly reaches his hand to his face, and starts to pull up. We see that James Comey was actually Obama wearing a mask all along!

Trump, in his custom-made handcuffs (made for tiny hands) starts to tremble in fear. He looks to Obama without meeting his eyes, and meekly says "What do you have on me? For the love of all that is holy, it's not the....."

Obama, chuckling lightly, finishes Trump's sentence. "...The Chaos Emeralds?? Haha...no no Donald....we have the Co Fee Fee Tape."

Thanks for the link! Not sure it's suspicious though; it follows reports that the Service is buckling under the workload and lack of budget - peeling off details to keep the principal protected makes sense.

 

[M.Bluth]

Mueller Time news always puts a big smile on my face. Details of the raid are boss as fuck!!

Having recently watched Get Me Roger Stone, I hope that fucker also gets dragged down with his best buddy Manafort

 

[NervousXtian]

At this point, until there's actual indictments, or a "pee-pee" video released.. it's hard to get too excited anymore.

We've had so many "big moments" that haven't turned into much yet.. but damn I want this shit to happen.

 

[tirminyl]

Phone Tap on repeat

Damn good song.

 

[Byakuya769]

According to the article, they imply that it's based on tax law violations and money laundering. I mean, Manafort going down for that wouldn't be all that shocking (considering his financial ties to Russia)

Money laundering?

Give me an "R"!

R!

Give me an "I"!

I!

Give me a "C"!

C

Give me an "O"!

O!

What's that spell? FUCKED!

I like how the first thing he does is tweet

 

[DietRob]

I guess you could say he is the one who knocks.

But he didn't knock he picked the lock.

This is what Putin and trump claimed to talk about, and that trump jr claimed was the topic of his meeting with putins lawyer, correct? thats the connection

 

[Buckle]

They knocked on his bedroom door to wake him up.

"Good morning."
