    This guy continues to make things worse for himself. Something tells me that it’s not Trump that Manafort is scared of but rather some powerful Russian oligarchs.

    Manafort discussing polling data w/ Russian operatives during 2016 election. No collusion at all though, don’t worry!

    Woah, wait a minute. Yeah it may look suspicious for trump. But i almost get the feeling his old team was doing this Russia interference behind his back, without Trump’s knowledge. I wouldn’t draw any conclusions yet.

    I’ve said almost exactly this before & you’ve gone on complete meltdowns saying how total wrong I am lol. Trump definitely was aware to some extent of what the Russians were doing. With Wikileaks & the trump tower meeting, he knew they were trying to help him out. Do I think he was the brains behind the whole operation? No. I think he let Manafort & his other campaign officials do the dirty work while he just gave a thumbs up in the background.

    Look. Don’t make me pull out my prewritten drafts.

    Anyways, “Trump definitely was aware to some extent”. No, you can’t use the word definitely only claiming he knew to an “extent”. You’re reaching for stars here.

    “Do I think he was the brains behind the whole operation, No” There you’re just insulting the president and pretty much admitting to trump barely knew what was going on if he even knew at all, which i highly doubt.

    He didn’t give a thumbs up to the people doing the dirty work for him lol Come on Enigma. You hate trump, I understand. I don’t like him either. But I look at things from both sides. And anyone prosecuted who cooperated never mentioned anything about Trump saying what to do or apart of anything. We’re talking people facing prison time. They’d more than likely throw Trump under the bus to save their own a---, but they can’t because he more than likely had no idea what was going on behind the scenes.

    If you don’t think Trump Jr. kept his father informed about a secret meeting with Russian operatives who promised dirt on Clinton, I don’t know what to say. Also, Roger Stone almost certainly told trump about the Podesta emails before they were leaked. I mean, him & his son were tweeting about them before they were even leaked lol. He was aware of what was going on Trent lol.

    So it’s trumps fault that Clinton’s illegal activities during the Obama administration came back to hurt her during the elections? Sorry to burst your bubble, even without the leaked information she was losing the election. Too many Americans lost their trust in the Clintons. The democrats should have ran someone else against trump. Plain and simple. I doubt trump jr would inform Trump about the secret meeting with Russia, because that could tie Trump into these indictments currently going on.

    You’re really bringing Roger Stone into this lol Trump is too smart to listen to him about any type of corruption. There’s some rumors going around that Roger Stone may be the next one indicted. I just don’t think trump knew what he was getting into.

    But if trump did happen to know what was going on and was saying any info and receiving it. I would assume he kept it only between family. The only way I see Trump going down is if the FBI can get a family member to flip on him. But yeah Trump is definitely a con man and probably a narcissist. I’m not backing him up at all, but before assuming certain things that you claim “he knew what was going on” I like to see scientific evidence first. Otherwise, you’re just talking about a big conspiracy theory. And the Obama admin was very corrupt. So let’s not be too quick judging the current president when there’s no scientific evidence against him.

    8 counts of tax fraud & bank fraud....the judge gives him less than 4 years.... this country’s criminal justice system is so f-----. This judge showed bias throughout the trial & sentencing process as well. I kept up with the trial day to day & he was constantly picking fights with the prosecution (the special counsel). He even uttered a pro-trump sentiment in the court at one point which left attendees pretty speechless...

    I mean did you expect him to get life or more than 7 years over a fairly minor case like this? All filthy rich people hide some money in foreign bank accounts. It’s just whether they get caught or not. His defense team was even offering to pay back more money to lower the prison time. And the judge wasn’t being biased. Don’t even try pulling that card. This judge is known to be hard on people. Having money for a great defense team gets you years knocked off. It’s just how the system works. It’s not like he killed someone Enigma. Obama and his administration giving guns to the cartels was far more serious than this. With one of the guns killing a US agent. https://www.politifact.com/texas/statements/2012/jun/18/rick-perry/rick-perry-says-obama/

    Tax fraud & bank fraud aren’t “minor crimes” lol. He attempted to enrich himself at other people’s/businesses/banks expense, lied about it repeatedly and attempted to tamper with witnesses involved in his trial. He deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. Manafort has been a criminal for most (all?) of his adult life. People who get caught with drugs get harsher sentences than this. It’s illogical. There’s no reason Paul Manafort should be doing less time than a fucken crack head.

    Judge Ellis’s bias showed through the entire process. The recommended sentence for Manafort’s crimes was 19-24 years. Ellis gave him less than 4 f---ing years. Anyone who followed the court proceedings closely knew from day one that Ellis was going to give the prosecution a hard time
