So that's five Trump campaign members who've pled guilty to criminal charges. He really does choose the best people.

Ooft, surprised he hasn't taken the coffee boy approach. Not a wise move to sing Manafort's praises at this point either. How long until he has to change his mind?

[Sitkero]

Check the date. It's a callback and reminder to preface Tinyhands' inevitable throwing of Manafor to the wolves now this news has broken

[Bread_Baron]

Oh whoops, my bad. Still, I'm surprised he stuck with Manafort and said those things as late as last month.

[smurfy]

Oh lawd

When will the bullshit theatrics end? I'm so tired of this.

Following Manafort's indictment, Trump continued to communicate with him, and even confided with his allies that Manafort could "bury" him if he flipped, but that Trump was confident he never would.

Note the first corollary here, which is the likelihood that both Trump and Manafort understand that Manafort has knowledge that could bury the president. Otherwise Trump would not hazard, and Manafort would not credit, the offer. We know Manafort and Trump continued to communicate after Manafort was chased from the campaign and that Trump himself reportedly confided to others that Manafort could inculpate him.

Mueller definitely lined all the ducks up in a row.

Lmao

Manafort will cooperate with Mueller as part of guilty plea, pro..

After a year of denying the charges and fighting them at every stage of the investigation, Manafort admitted Friday that he did what prosecutors had long said — cheat the IRS out of $15 million and lie repeatedly to try to cover his tracks. While he pleaded guilty to just two of the seven charges he faced at trial, prosecutors forced him to admit to the broad scope of his financial and secret lobbying schemes.
“I believe it’s fair to say that’s probably the longest and most detailed summary that ever preceded this question, but is what the prosecutor said a true and accurate description of what you did in this case?” Jackson asked Manafort.
“I did. It is,” Manafort said, resting both hands on the lectern before him.

It feels like Mueller and Woodward are having a competition to see who can bring these traitors down fastest.
