    No wonder Fox and Trump and the GOP have been panicking and desperately trying to switch the story to some phony uranium bullshit.

    I think it's Manafort. We shall see.

    Could be a stormy weekend. Trump will probably soon try to fire Robert Mueller, and if Mueller manages an indictment before then Trump will pardon whoever's been charged.

    We will also soon see who among us really respects the rule of law in this country.... who loves America, itself.

    The significance of these charges? This is not like some local yokel district attorney with some unilateral and unfettered ability to indict anybody he chooses. Mueller can only recommend charges and had to get the consent of a PANEL of jurors on the Grand Jury... the evidence must be very compelling.

    and Mueller had to first present the case to Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein, who could have blocked the indictment(s) had he thought them unwarranted,.. that he didn't, alludes to the strength of the charge(s).

    Trump is already pissed at Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Rosenstein because they allowed the investigation. The White House reaction/response is going to be fascinating.

    I would suspect its Manafort and his dealings before he was campaign manager

    Ha. If they charge anyone for anything other than Collusion it was a shitshow. That is what it was about... Remember?
