Manafort found guilty on 8 of 18 Counts against him....

The judge has declared a mistrial on the 10 counts that the jury could not decide on.

Also, President Trump's former Lawyer MIchael Coehn pleaded guilty to several counts of fraud and illegal campaign contributions.

I'm not sure where "Russian Collusion" fits into all of this, but I doubt President Trump will loose any sleep tonight.

Manafort is likely going to jail.

Cohen implicated Trump in his pleadings, making it clear he was directed to pay hush money at his direction.

This shit is getting real.

Mic drop.

Trump is the only option for Manaforts get out of jail free card. He’ll play it out. Who believes Cohen? He’s as believable as Gates.

Cohen’s going to be deposed. There will be full discovery.

Trump’s fingerprints are all over this.

GOP needs to stand up or the whole house of cards will collapse. This nation does t need that.

Of course President Trump's fingerprints are all over it. A rich guy pays off a slut that he fucked so she will keep quiet. This is not big news.

The crime is not reporting it. Cohen just might say......"yes, Donald Trump instructed me to pay off the women and get no disclosure statements from them. But it was me who forgot to report it".

But even if he says President Trump told him to keep it under the table, The President can always come back and say he told hill to report it.

After all, isn't Trump on tape saying......"pay by check, not cash"?

If the Dems win the House and Senate Manafort can forget a pardon because Trump will get impeached. He wouldn't dare pardon Manafort if they lose in Nov. Manafort's life depends on this midterm election. He will rot in jail if the dems win...If the Dems win he will roll on Trump for a reduced sentence or he will hang himself in jail. Manafort fears the Russians more than he does life in prison. His day of reckoning is near. I hope he hangs himself in his cell after telling all.

Cohen saying that Trump conspired is a major blow. His personal fucking lawyer? Only a butthurt fool would still think Trump is innocent.

He first said “cash”

Who cares if Manofort rots in jail for tax evasion? So did Al Capone. You believe what Cohen says????? You do know the Feds lost a similar case against John Edwards? It’s a gray area. Molly Tibbets was murdered by an illegal alien. Build the fuckin wall and send you to Guatemala and not let you back in. Take Bubba Yssup with you.

Hey sweetie. I understand it's been a rough day for you.

It wasn't a campaign contribution. No campaign funds were used, so no reporting of it was required. Giuliani already said Trump paid it to avoid embarrassment to his family. There is no fucking way Mueller can "prove" otherwise, even if it also kept a salacious story out of the news cycle.

Read up on what happened to John Edwards. He paid off his mistress with campaign donations. The case against him was much stronger. He was acquitted.

Quit hitting on me.

[Yssup Rider]

No shit. The big question is when will he pardon Manafort?

What are the odds that he’ll do it before the midterm election?

It’s apparent that a lot of posters here are disappointed by this. I’m sorry, but I’m happy this witch hunt is catching witches. I understand how embarrassed you must feel. But this is really happening. And it’ll be good for our country when the smoke clears.

That said, I’m sad for the country that we should have to go through this again. Hopefully, the resolution will be swift and that we can come together as Americans after this tawdry business is taken care of.

Keep selling the John Edwards “what Aboutism,” lustylad. It isn’t going to play. That was then and this is now.

You mean like the Dims stood up and voted to impeach Slick Willy? Let's see... that was about sexual assault, sexual harassment and perjury. But now you want the GOP to "stand up" against someone who tried to hush up an adulterous affair that occurred - not in the Oval Office - but more than a decade ago when he was a private citizen?

Get fucking real.
