      If you were a very crooked individual concealing many already committed crimes that could put you in jail for years, wouldn’t you avoid joining a presidential campaign at all costs? What was the thought process for these people?

      They thought they'd lose and rake in money but they succeeded and face prison time. "The Producers"

          Yeah. If HRC had won, I'm sure we'd hear screams about how banana republic it would have been to try to order DOJ to go after a losing candidate. Probably would have potentially led to HRC's impeachment if she had gone there forcefully.

          You also have to take into account the kinds of individuals who were attracted to the Trump campaign, and how his only test for someone’s fitness for a position is “will you compliment me?”

          Yup, I’ve been using the Producers line also to friends irl. But you tweeted to millions! Well played.

          It’s weird, though. I thought Hillary would win, but I would’ve said Trump had at least a 25-30% chance of winning. Thise are not great odds when the cost of being wrong is prison.

          Well, there's also the fact that these are guys (Manafort & Trump) who have been lucky all their lives & never had to pay before for their transgressions. So they tend to think luck will always be on their side.

          Yes, exactly. Even Trump thought he would lose. A PR stunt gone Kafka.
