On the contrary, it's likely that two former presidents, both Bill Clinton and Obama, will be dragged into the morass. Their crimes are significantly worse than Manafort's in the same regard.

Deflect, deflect, deflect!

Expect a lot of posts like this one above from the right today.


Trump supporters will do ANYTHING to distract you from the fact that former campaign chairman Paul Manafort was just arrested by the FBI.

Only if they have ties to the Trump campaign.

Remember, collusion is not a crime.

However, money laundering, violating Campaign Finance laws, conspiring to break U.S. laws, Obstruction of Justice, ... are crimes.

The more Trump shrieked "fake news", the more convinced Americans became it was true. Well, it was true.

There's been no indication that the indictment includes any of Manafort's actions on behalf of Trump's campaign. They're all related to events that occurred years before that. Approximately the same time frame in which the Clintons got the $100+ million kickback from Russians for the Uranium One deal.

Have you seen the indictment? I don't think so.

The fact that they started with Manafort only makes a stronger case that there is something to the Rüssia collusion thing. Despite Trumpist dreams, it's not going to be "Surprise! Hillary is the real criminal!"
Yes, they are all out in full force today spinning faster than a top.

Keep up.

Again, what is happening over there does not affect what is happening here.

Trying to distract does not make Trump's problems go away.

The left does not care about facts....they just hate trump...even thought this has nothing to do with trump...it will be made out that trump knew this all along...and it's all trumps fault for hiring a person who did something years prior....typical leftist BS....


See...they just don't care:

This is simply Round One of indictments against Manafort; eventually he will be indicted for Russian involvement. As will others in the trump campaign. These early indictments are the tip of the iceberg that will sink the trump ship of state.
