So was Manafort. Seeing as Trump doesn't pay his staff, most of them were probably volunteers.
You can pretend it's a nothing-burger all you like, but it's a very big deal. Papadopolous has been speaking with Trump and his team for months wearing a wire. Trump is in bigly trouble which is why he's freaking out!
Trump is going down!
Nothing Papa-whatever did was illegal. So how can Trump go down for that?
You guys only wish Trump had done what Hilary and the DNC did, when they hired people to pay Brits and Russians inside the Kremlin to provide them dirt on Trump.

Conspiring with a foreign enemy to manipulate an election and hack your political opponent is most certainly illegal. And we have no idea what other illegal things they did. Even Papadoplous admitted in his affidavit this is a very small part of what he knows, and his entire testimony is a very small part of the investigation. Mueller knows astronomically more than you can imagine. He knows who is guilty, he knows what they've been saying to the Russians, and all of them will go down.
Read the indictment. He's been charged with at least $18 million in money laundering. Tax evasion is a separate charge.
I did and that's why I asked what crime is he being charged with regarding money laundering because that is turning illegally obtained money into "good" money.
Robbing a bank and then buying a house for cash is an example of money laundering...turning illegally obtained money into "good" money.
But buying shirts and moving money between banks isn't laundering..that's tax evasion.
Two separate things.
The only "crime" I gathered from that indictment was that he didn't register as a foreign agent.
The rest is tax stuff.

That is not what Manafort is charged with. There's nothing in that indictment about the 2016 campaign.
In fact there's not one mention of Russia at all in that indictment. It's about his financial dealings in the Ukraine and they've been investigating him for that for a couple of years now.
He was arrested in July, but didn't plead guilty until a few weeks ago and his case was sealed. He's described in the guilty plea as a "proactive cooperator" which is usually used in legal cases to refer to someone who has been wearing a wire or recording phone calls to aid prosecutors.
I think that it's so cute that these Trump posters believe that this many people who were close to Trump during the election have been found to have had contact with Russia and then lying about it later is nothing. I assure you it is not nothing.
