Trump Campaign Manager Paul Manafort Charged with "Conspiracy Against United States" - Polidicks

If the Democrats gain a lot of ground next year then they can bully him into submission, but I won't hold my breath with how the DNC has been acting.

[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;52846171]Why would he resign? He gets to be president soon and enact his own awful agenda. Hopefully he's implicated though, but for some reason I doubt it.[/QUOTE] Wasn't he incharge of the transition team? There's no way he didn't know about Manafort and the others.

[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;52845610][QUOTE]Speaking to Steve Bannon on Tuesday, Trump blamed Jared Kushner for his role in decisions, specifically the firings of Mike Flynn and James Comey, that led to Mueller’s appointment, according to a source briefed on the call. When Roger Stone recently told Trump that Kushner was giving him bad political advice, Trump agreed, according to someone familiar with the conversation. “Jared is the worst political adviser in the White House in modern history,” Nunberg said. “I’m only saying publicly what everyone says behind the scenes at Fox News, in conservative media, and the Senate and Congress.”[/QUOTE][/QUOTE] What does it say about the judgement of the President of the United States of America when he is blaming the man he tasked with pretty much every important job (including trying to bring peace to the Middle East) for [I]him[/I] agreeing to go ahead with two decisions. Of course, everyone knows that Trump is pathologically incapable of accepting responsibility and has to deflect blame onto someone else. This time it's Kushner. [media]https://twitter.com/funder/status/925710783060856833[/media] Don't know how trustworthy this guy is, as always, but, hey, Donny, if things are so difficult, and you've hated this job all along because it stopped being fun when you stopped holding campaign rallies, why not just quit? :v:

Fire him Trump. Dare you bitch

[QUOTE=The Rifleman;52846553]Fire him Trump. Dare you bitch[/QUOTE] If he were to - I doubt that Republicans would do anything in the short run, but ideally, history will vilify his complacent enablers in the long run.

Course he wants to fire Mueller, cause he knows his ass is in hot water, or will be soon.

Mueller is the noose wrapping tighter and tighter around Trump's pudgy neck. However, it's also the rope holding him over a vat of boiling oil, so if he cuts it?... Well, he's screwed either way.

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;52852143]My guess is he had his ducks in a row already, senses the pressure mounting, and is going to move faster than his opposition can even react to to avoid getting shut down.[/QUOTE] To shut Mueller down now is political suicide.

[QUOTE=archangel125;52853634]To shut Mueller down now is political suicide.[/QUOTE] To elect Trump as the GOP candidate would have been political suicide just over a year ago. I would not be shocked to see something like this happen to try to do whatever they can do to save face.

[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;52846118]If he listens to Bannon and tries to cut Mueller's funding, he's instantly done for. That's an instant obstruction of justice charge and the impeachment begins. Trump has someone else he's listening to that isn't as rash as Bannon and I'd like to know who it is. Also, where the fuck is Pence in all this? Is he hiding in a closet (not metaphorically, although I'm sure that's the case as well)?[/QUOTE] Pence is an asshole, but he isn't stupid. Dude will do whatever it takes to get out of this mess. He's probably waiting for the right time to slip out.

[QUOTE=archangel125;52853634]To shut Mueller down now is political suicide.[/QUOTE] I'm sure they'd take political suicide over life in prison.
