I bet you love MSNBC. What is happening on CNN? All of you watch it.

Haven't seen the list of charges against Paul Manafort on this thread yet, so here goes:

1. conspiracy against the United States
2. conspiracy to launder money
3. unregistered agent of a foreign principal
4. false and misleading FARA statements
5. false statements
6. seven counts of failure to file reports of foreign bank and financial accounts

A sharp eyed commenter might note that list is only six items, but the last one is actually seven different counts.

I expected charges 2 through 12 for Manafort, but conspiracy against the United States? That seems to be beyond money laundering. Edit: Indictment document below defines 'conspiracy against the US' as Manafort's and Gate's conspiracy to defraud US government regarding their money laundering and unreported work as foreign agents.

Even better - here's a link to the actual indictment document.

This game is still in the second inning.

I don't think it'll be like last night's wild WS game 5 with the lead switching sides each inning.

Mueller is pitching and the tRumpsters haven't put anyone on base yet.

Don't touch that dial...

If Mueller is consistent he'll be taking down Hillary/Obama campaign.
But Mueller ain't consistent, because he has a conflict of interest.

Mueller is actually complicit in some of it. The only way for Mueller to escape unscathed is to go after the Clintons, Obama, Holder, etc., for the even worse, though similar, crimes they committed in the same time frame.

Deflector shields at maximum, Captain!

I am watching MSNBC right this minute. No one is hyperventilating. They are reporting the news as it develops.

I am so tired of these attacks on the media when they are reporting what is happening.

Sure, they can, but what would Rick Gates have to do with Trump's campaign? Hmmm...???

He was on the Inauguration Committee after working as a top aide, and was probably in the room when big things happened more than once. Something like that, maybe...

The conspiracy against the US, is the collusion they have been talking about. The rest simply describes the nature of people Trump surrounds himself with.
