Lock this fucker up already.

 

[NullPointer]

He offered it just before the RNC, which is where the agenda for the party is set. An agenda that was oddly pro-Russian for the GOP.

Yep.

We've moved from drip-drip to the start of an avalanche.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

I'm not sure we'll ever get the cherry on top (the pee pee tape).

I don't understand the fascination with the pee tape. I know it means that most of the stuff in the Steele Dossier will be confirmed then, but this fascination that the tape is the be all end all is something that eludes me.

 

[TheGameshark]

lol holy shit Manafort is looking fucking dumb

 

[ProtomanNeo]

The fact that emails of all things may be what becomes their undoing is the cruelest bit of fate I've seen.

 

[Allard]

Forget the myths the media's created about the White House. The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.​

The guy running the white house is one of the most narcissistic and vain people to hold office with a long history of getting sued and yet keeps doing shit. He has no concept of right and wrong in a community because in his mind even if its not 'lawful' its not 'wrong' if he does it and since he hasn't been put behind jail yet he keeps doing stuff. When that kind of person is at the head of everything you are more likely to attract other people who just don't seem to care if they get caught, because anyone that was slightly competent would take one look at the interior of the operation and get the fuck out of there.

[Jetman]

There's absolutely nothing about this on FOXNews so this must be #Fakenews

Spoiler

that's always the response I get when I argue with idiots on Facebook

Can we please just see some movement on all of this? This process is taking way too long, and I'd like to see some concrete,sweat-inducing results from all of this evidence.

Yep, my biggest fear is that a sizable chunk of the GOP is involved - meaning nothing will ultimately happen to them since they control the government right now

 

[Vegetable Lasagna]

I don't understand the fascination with the pee tape. I know it means that most of the stuff in the Steele Dossier will be confirmed then, but this fascination that the tape is the be all end all is something that eludes me.

Dude, it involves some combination of the president, prostitutes and pee... on video. What is there to not understand?

 

[B-Dubs]

Yep.

We've moved from drip-drip to the start of an avalanche.

I dunno about that. This feels more like they're turning the screws on Manafort and seeing what he gives them as a result.

The Pee Pee Tape is the ultimate comedy ending for all of this. Imagine this as the plot to a movie, wouldn't you be disappointed if you don't get it at the very end?

 

[Random Human]

I wonder if Mueller ever gets mad that he's playing Dark Souls with an easy mode.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Mmm.

This IS a TASTY burger!

isn't it rumored that the prostitutes were underaged? or is that another charge?

 

[Zolo]

I doubt it's that sizable. More than likely, a sizable chunk had reasonable suspicions, but not personally involved. I feel we would have seen more pushback against Russia sanctions in congress if this was the case.

 

[Otnopolit]

He needs to write a book when the dust clears. Who needs a movie when you have that on shelves?

Describing it as a comedy ending makes sense, but it feels that many people on here see it as the smoking (leaking?) gun in this whole thing.

 

[Hubbl3]

It gives me an immense amount of joy to see that emails are what's really coming back to fuck these people over

 

[Hopfrog]

Trump campaign should have had Stringer around.

 

[RustyNails]

Is this smoking gun on collusion? If it isn't, then what is?

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Manafort has to be the dumbest mother this side of DT Jr.

His idiocy has opened so many productive doors for this investigation.

isn't it rumored that the prostitutes were underaged? or is that another charge?

Age of consent is 16 in Russia, he'd be R Kellying if they were underage there. Not that it matters, because sex scandals don't matter in the US. It's a sideshow.

 

[LifEndz]

Welp, I hope it was worth it. Better ask Donny to keep his pardon or its state fucking prison for you, Paul.

 

[B-Dubs]

Describing it as a comedy ending makes sense, but it feels that many people on here see it as the smoking (leaking?) gun in this whole thing.

I mean, for the average person, if the most insane part of the dossier is real and they can see it then they'll be more likely to believe the rest of it is real. Logically this doesn't necessarily hold up, but it is what it is.

Personally I just think the Pee Pee Tape would be the perfect ending for all of this and it would bring me endless hours of laughter and/or disgust. I mean, it was teased so I'd feel bad if I never got it.

Is this smoking gun on collusion? If it isn't, then what is?

Not yet. We'd need to tie said Russian oligarchs to things that happened during the election to have a smoking gun. Prove Putin (or one of his Russian oligarch friends) had them change the GOP agenda to be more friendly to Russia, prove the Trump campaign knew about the hacking and that they helped time the release of information, basically stuff like that.

 

[Greigor The Fellhand]

manafort is so beyond the realm of fucked.

Manafort is the Racoon.

The distance is how fucked he is

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

 

[Ray Down]

Is manafront the dumbest in person in pissgate?

 

[Strike]

I wonder if he'll flip or if Trump will try to pardon him too?

 

[LegendofJoe]

I hope he's mentally prepared himself to live the rest of his life on the run or in prison.

 

[Gutek]

I hope he's mentally prepared himself to live the rest of his life on the run or in prison.

He’s gonna get pardoned.

 

[B-Dubs]

Is manafront the dumbest in person in pissgate?

He didn't tweet these e-mails out, so that title still goes to Don jr.

 

[Dr.Acula]

This seems bad.

But with how the GoP and right-wing media handles these revelations, it really seems like the standard of proof for collusion is impossibly high. I feel like the GoP and Fox would back Putin himself as POTUS.

Putin? Sure, he was born in Kansas.

 

[Lightning_Roller]

It gives me an immense amount of joy to see that emails are what's really coming back to fuck these people over

Oh, oh the irony of it all.......

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

I wonder if he'll flip or if Trump will try to pardon him too?

Trump will pardon any federal charges as long as he is acting president. That is a near certainty.

Financial crimes and collusion are complicated issues. Having sex with underage prostitutes is not and far more salacious . So it's an easier thing to point too and remember.

Where did the sex and the underage come from?

Annnnnd that's why Mueller has the NY State attorney by his side. State charges, dude.

 

[Armaros]

He’s gonna get pardoned.

Trump will pardon any federal charges as long as he is acting president. That is a near certainty.

Mueller is working with the NY states attorneys office about Manaforts financial crimes.(since so much finance runs through NYC) Trump can't pardon those.

 

[mnannola]

Yeah, if he doesn't flip on Trump this dude is going to be incredibly fucked

Wait why would he flip? If Trump stays then Manafort gets a sweet presidential pardon.

 

[RustyNails]

Don Jr

 

[Lightning_Roller]

Yep, Mueller is destroying all avenues of escapes for Manadork. Dude is fucked six ways to Sunday....and he knows it.

 

[Beer Monkey]

Yup, the only way Manafort completely avoids prison is if he sings like a bird. Trump can't save him from Schneiderman. States' rights, motherfucker.

 

[CraigerGamer]

I wonder when the "he was only campaign manager for 2 months and that's why we fired him" narrative starts?

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Financial crimes and collusion are complicated issues. Having sex with underage prostitutes is not and far more salacious . So it's an easier thing to point too and remember.

Where did the underage part come in? If it were that, I can understand it being a smoking gun. But I thought what we knew was it was just Trump watching two prostitutes pee on a bed.

 

[Stinkles]

He offered it just before the RNC, which is where the agenda for the party is set. An agenda that was oddly pro-Russian for the GOP.

So? It’s not like they requested any weird last minute changes to the party platform and agenda.

 

[kaskade]

I can’t wait to see all the shit mueller brings up when this all goes down.

It’s going to be surreal seeing those notifications pop up on me phone.

 

[B-Dubs]

Wait why would he flip? If Trump stays then Manafort gets a sweet presidential pardon.

Schniderman (the NY AG) is working with Mueller on Manafort's (and probably Trump's) money laundering in NY. Trump can't pardon state crimes, only federal.

So? It's not like they requested any weird last minute changes to the party platform and agenda.

There were actually a few odd pro-Russian changes in regards to things like the Ukraine situation that were reportedly made at Manafort's request.

 

[Heroman]

Lock him up

 

[rambis]

I hope he's mentally prepared himself to live the rest of his life on the run or in prison.

If they really told him he was getting indicted during the raid then he has to be under some extreme surveillance already.

 

[Armaros]

Schniderman (the NY AG) is working with Mueller on Manafort's (and probably Trump's) money laundering in NY. Trump can't pardon state crimes, only federal.

Also Trump can't touch Schniderman himself either. Since it's a State appointed Office
