I agree. They are just trying so hard to find something. I wouldn't doubt that they will go even further into his parents and grandparents.

Wait. So Manafort's ties to Russia go back 11 years, and your logic is that instead of looking into all that activity, they should just end the investigation instead. Sure, bro'. I'm sure they'll get right on that.

No, they have to keep going back to find something. If they found it already they wouldn't need to keep digging. So what if they find something from over a decade ago? What does that have to do with Trump in 2016/17?

I didn't hear any Republicans complaining when Ken Starr progressed from a real estate investigation to a BJ investigation.

What's your hurry???

I guess if you don't have a problem bringing up info from over two decades ago, 11 years is a drop in the bucket...

Just looking for some indiscretion they could then use to force manafort to 'confess'.


An inconsistency in his testimony is as good as be convicted of a crime for which the government has no evidence. The martha stewart style prosecution.


What is so different here is that in court, previous crimes or arrests are not allowed to be referenced as it prejudices the current charge.


Apparently the spec pros is not contrained in seeking justice the way we know justice is meted out. that is disturbing as it mimics social justice media trials where a paula dean can admit to using a banned word in a private conversation, a decade ago, and be judged a racist and lose her job.


The blindfold justice used to wear is now for sale on ebay, with a buy it now price.

It is not fishing, it is a targeted investigation into a series of allegations ref the 2016 election, Russian meddling and the extent to which Team Trump colluded and aided Putin in his vindictive attack on Hillary and the US.

Precisely.
Much like Sargent Shultz on Hogan's Heroes..... they know nothing. They have nothing.
