“But he’s accepted responsibility … He wanted to make sure that his family was able to remain safe and live a good life.” Wasn't an open question why his wife wasn't charged? Maybe this answers it.
Yeah, ask @bmaz.
Great question, and I can almost guarantee it was a significant factor.
Thanks so much for the response. Much appreciated.
I'm liking Mueller's mode: no comments to the press; just cranking out the legal trail, running down these crooks, connecting the dots, a string of flips, plea bargains & convictions; like Jaws or something: Run Silent, Run Deep... duunnn dunnn… duuuunnnn duun… dun dun dun dun.
What's next after Manafort? I am assuming Jr. time under the barrel is coming? Then what? Trump pardons everybody and resigns?
Stone next. Does he go for Don Jr and Kushner before he goes for DJT? Tjat just seems to be drawing it out unnecessarily. Mueller seems to be pretty efficient. Lets hope he just pardons and resigns, but I bet it's nastier.
I assumed Mueller already has Stone
I still don't understand why it's though the plea deal is pardon-proof. Trump pardons, Manafort loses 5th amendment rights. Then what? Manafort still can be pardoned by Trump for federal crimes. Trump can even preemptively pardon.
Empty wheel wrote in some detail about this.
Yeah, I read her blog. Color me dumb, but I don't see why loss of right to remain silent makes endangers Manafort. As I stated, couldn't Trump just issue more pardons. It becomes like whack-a-mole.
They constructed the charges so that Manafort would be exposed to charges in New York State, Virginia, and elsewhere that would be more than sufficient to keep him in state prison for the rest of his life. And he'd still be obliged to bear witness to state crimes by others.
Episode I has finished. Episode II: The White House is going to be....
Whatcha hear Starbuck?
dare we say pivotal? big doings, at least
Pivotal yea this is Henry Hill Sammy the Bull effing HUGE pivotal. Cheeto is toast. They got his CFO & Manafort to flip. They are all going down the crapper.
This is the moment when the impeachment case against Trump truly began. He’s cooked as Prez. I don’t believe Mueller will indict him, but I do believe Don Jr and Manafort will be indicted.
It's only a big deal if Manafort spills the beans on Russian Collusion. But he doesn't have any beans.
