BREAKING NEWS!! And what do any of these charges have what to do with Russian Collusion? ZILCH! NADA!
Good job Mueller, Russian Collusion Probe success!
Once again, you do reqlize Mueller's investigation is ongiong, right? Just because Trump is very well connected to a man that is pleading guilty to campaign finance federal law among other charges doesn't mean Mueller's investigation is finished nor should it clear anyone from collusion.
It's been a year and a half. Still waiting on any evidence of collusion. It should be apparent that they are bullying and trying to squeeze the balls of anyone related to Trump. Still nothing on Trump after all this time what gives?
The real Russian collusion stems from the DNC, Fusion GPS and their Russian contacts. Where is the investigation there? No, there's no bias at all from the Mueller team.
Investigating and convicting criminals of committed multiple crimes is "bullying"?
are you a child? what is wrong with you? if you or I commit crimes we will go to jail. what makes Manafort, Flynn, Papadapolous and the other several men who have been charged any different?
and the argument that the Russians colluded with the Democrats is laughable because it is an established fact that the Trump campaign had multiple contacts with The Russian government, intelligence services and military leading up to the 2016 election surrounding issues including hacked DNC emails, foreign policy discussions while another President was in office (which is ILLEGAL), trying to set up backdoor networking channels with the Russian government that would subvert all stand procedures of contact with foreign governments (which is espionage, a capital crime which can get you strapped to an executioner's table and a needle put into your arm in this country). This doesn't even include what was going on with the RNC/NRA and Maria Butina, a Russian agent of influence working directly for the Kremlin.
And one last time. Fusion GPS/Christopher Steele were hired initially by REPUBLICANS to do opposition research on Donald Trump. The GOP dropped the efforts and the Democrats picked up on and continued it. That is not illegal. Christopher Steele's research into Trump's Russian ties were so alarming that out of duty to his country he went right to the FBI because Britain and America are allies and he had to make them aware of what was found. There was nothing illegal done by doing any of this.
Mueller was tasked with investigating the intrusion of Russia in our election process and he has the authority to investigate and prosecute any crimes that are uncovered regardless if they tie into Russia or not. Mueller uncovered multiple crimes committed by Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Rick Gates, etc and he's holding them to account. He has already indicted several Russian intelligence officers who were involved with the DNC/RNC hacks and Trump associate Roger Stone is already on record with dealing with two Russian military intel officers who were posing as an online hacker named Guccifer 2 in order to get DNC emails. The stuff you're seeing people getting locked up for is preliminary. Mueller is laying this all out piece by piece so don't worry, we'll get to the Russia stuff when Manafort's trial for Conspiracy to Defraud The United States of America begins. Also, when Donald Trump Jr., Roger Stone, and Jared Kushner end up getting indicted you will be in for a world of despair.
So any day now....Hillary Clinton will be going to jail. Keep thinking that cupcake.
