So far, Manafort has pleaded guilty to "Conspiracy against the United States", e.g., "collusion". The fact that others haven't been charged probably means that they were not directly involved in dealings with the Russians as part of a conspiracy to tamper with the electon.

Only the guilty have anything to fear.
Bob Mueller was well-respected before he was conducting the investigation into Trump. Now he all of a sudden is a Democratic operative leading a leftist deep state conspiracy.

"If the Russia investigation uncovers other crimes, why should they be ignored?"
Crimes shouldn't be ignored, but mueller shouldn't be able to investigate himself or his cronies. No telling how much evidence against him and his cronies he'd already destroyed or tried to hide(much like he tried to hide strzok's actions).

Using the faux document AND the articles due to it's release to corruptly get a FISA court to allow surveillance. Using the power and tools of the federal government to spy on your opponent's political campaign. To say nothing about collaboration with a foreign power to sell strategic materials to an enemy.

So YES, bring charges for these crimes and start locking these scum up.
Exactly. Their crimes are being uncovered, no thanks to mueller on that either. But heck, even if there were no crimes uncovered then that's okay, investigate anyway ... after all, the left had opened the door to creating a multi-million dollar investigation to find a crime.

In this case, because Trump's supporters don't want him held accountable.

So you know he's a slimebag, and therefore he must have committed crimes. So all they have to do is find the crimes which, as a slimebag, he must have done.

Trump might turn out to be even more of a slimebag than Bill Clinton. If that is even possible.

He must be the most rabid Democrat ever, if he took the job as SC just to nail Trump. He left a job at a law firm where he made over three million dollars in the previous year to work for what amounts to a bag of airline peanuts in comparison.

Trump may not be directly involved in the Russia conspiracy, though people very close to him were. Trump isn't acting like an innocent man however. He's terrified that Mueller will uncover something.
Stop with the conspiracy theories.

Every Tom, Dick, and Harry has poured over Trump’s background with a fine tooth comb trying to find something that will stick.

Being rude is not illegal and so far Trump is only guilty of being rude. Hence the reason he’s still freely tweeting from his office while you rack your brain hoping he’s a Russian mafia collusion puppet who says the n-word in his free time who doesn’t pay his taxes..

Funny thing, evidence. Evidence requires investigation and most right wingers are doing everything they can to undermine or obstruct this investigation

Manafort is being charged with events that he did YEARS before he even worked on the Trump Campaign. His alleged "crimes" are for tax evasion in relation to money earned overseas YEARS AGO and not registering as a foreign lobbyiest which has NEVER been prosecuted before.

If of the above was true why are the majority of his advisors former/current Hillary/democratic supporters. And why did Mueller fire Peter Strzok? And why was Peter Strzok and Liza Page fired by the FBI?
Move on nothing partisan here....

I realize your side is a little put off by his tireless work and not spilling the beans or grandstanding, but Mueller was a perfect pick for this job. Just look at how many have pleaded guilty to crimes already. Those did not appear out of thin air.

But, but.... how many of those who plead guilty or have been investigated by Mueller have anything to do with the Russian investigation or Trump? You seems to imply that they are pleading guilty for colluding with the Russians influencing our election process.

Looks like to me, its find a former Trump supporter and than find a crime.
