Be interesting to see how this impacts Russia and USA spy trading pact if they actually get a hard target

Seriously it's most likely Flynn. He had some dealings in Russia and didn't file proper paperwork. The big cats like Manafort and Podesta will come later

Flynn is a bigger fish than manafort
Do you mean podestas brother tony? He is a minnow.

Can someone create another site for politics? Threads of this nature is what caused alot of the gaf issues in the first place.

No, that was agreed 25 years ago. All Trump did was not block it.
If there is absolutely no discussion of important things like this then there is no point in this forum.

Flynn is not bigger than Manafort. No way no how.... Yes, Tony Podesta.

Flynn also had some dealings with Turkey.
Dude got fired from two consecutive administrations...lol
FWIW The lawyer representing Manafort says he has not been notified of anything.

Flynn as he involves Russia is bigger than manafort who is mainly in trouble for personal reasons: tax dodging money laundering and Ukraine.
So in my book hearing Flynn getting done is a lot bigger than manafort as Flynn may have interesting insight into russia quid pro quo.

Flynn's stuff is more bookkeeping and paperwork. It's an open and shut case really.
Failing to disclose, etc....

It depends what he is indicted for and how much he wants to say to get a plea bargain. All is unknown. But I don't think the first indictment is a trivial matter. It should be part of a squeeze on bigger fish.

I agree with what you're saying, and this will be a big story..... but not in any way showing collusion.

Don jr would be amazing as that would bring the best twitter meltdown. Though It'll probably be one of Flynn, Manafort or Page

No they're not. That's a scapegoat used to deflect from the real issues.

Per the mods we can discuss this stuff provided we don't start acting like a bunch of schmucks. We're doing okay so far. Don't jinx it.

Having anyone from this administration charged and convicted would be a great way to end this year of great games but shitty news.

I just finished watching the Netflix documentary on Roger Stone (I highly recommend), and so this comes as especially good news. I doubt we will, but it would be great if we actually see live footage of someone doing the perp walk on Monday.

I have no idea how anyone can be confident enough of anything at this point to write off any connections.
Wikileaks and hackers and Russia ad buys and voter system probing and so on I think it's highly likely to not have happened on the far side of a firewall.
There were holes, and was information going back and forth IMO. Whether that's enough for a court we have to see.

Turkey won't get pardoned. He's brown.
A pardon means no 5th amendment protection, which would be very helpful for investigators. We should almost hope for it!

This first charge won't be big based off the media reaction. It would be blowing up like crazy in DC right now if it showed collusion. It's either Flynn or Manafort.

Why would Flynn and Manafort do all this on their own or for personal gain me thinks. Has to come from the top.

I must have really missed something. Why is Podesta's name popping up in this thread?

Manafort was involved with the Podesta group and Mueller is now investigating them according to NBC

This has always been my use of off topic. Gaf beat CNN on the Tsunami in Japan and has been lightning fast on news for years

i think it's for manafort, but heck i'd be okay with flynn and podesta alike...
The meetings with kremlin lawyers and spy ambassadors and jrs emails make that pretty clear. Its kind of a foregone conclusion but its a matter of Mueller finding verifiable dirt that Trump himself was aware of and approved of collaboration with Russian interference.
Its really pretty amazing there hasnt been more fallout from all of this given Manafort was the fucking manager of the campaign, and that Flynn was actually part of the administration early on. Its amazing the GOP just does not seem to give a fuck.

I predict that the low level guys that get scooped first will be used by trump and fox as ammunition for look see, trump isnt arrested he is clear mueller is done now
Chaos2Frozen

That would be pretty stupid of them to do especially when Mueller would surely say "they're not done yet".

Here is an interesting idea.
Michael Cohen?
Evidence:
A) he knows all on every shady deal
B) he was going to appear for the senate committee but it got canned at the last minute this week
C) he listed his nyc house for sale - needs cash
D) it was revealed he was laundering 20m through property transactions this week
E) he is the least likely to roll for Mueller and the most likely to be pardoned by trump

Is it Roger Stone? I haven't really followed that guy because he seems so unhinged like Alex Jones
