Do the charges against Manafort give leverage to prosecutors for charges that deal with colluding with Russian government during the election, yes or no?
Sums it up. Wow.

Historians respond to John F. Kelly’s Civil War remarks: ‘Strange,’ ‘sad,’ ‘wrong’

more evidence that one can be a life-long success in the military, even a 4-star General, and still be an ignorant, racist off.
Rick Gates goes under the bus as the Trump team claims he was never 'involved' in group he founded
Gates might not appear in the news as often as his boss, Paul Manafort, but that’s because until the indictment Gates had mostly seemed to avoid the limelight. What he didn’t avoid was working with Donald Trump.Just because Gates was one of the founders of America First Policies doesn’t mean he was actually involved in it.
Gates, the longtime lobbying partner of Manafort, was indicted alongside his previous business partner on Monday.
Long after Manafort formally left the presidential campaign, Gates lingered around in a number of capacities.
He visited the White House numerous times, including as recently as this summer.
And on top of that, he was one of six former Trump campaign aides who helped start the nonprofit group America First Policies to support the president’s agenda shortly after his inauguration.
… On Monday, Gates too found his place under the proverbial bus.
Though he had left America First Policies just two months into President Trump’s term, another official with that organization,
Katrina Pierson, now insists that he was never formally involved.
Rick Gates was never formally involved with the group he founded.
George Papadopoulos was nothing but a volunteer.

Trash: "Pootin? who's that? never met the guy?" LOL

Kelly is a dumbass
Kelley's credibility was sucked in by Trumps spreading taint.
100% certain he has made the "Actually slaves had it pretty well" argument.
Why do people say "4 star general"? No one says "3 stripe Sr Airman". 4 stars is a general. Everything else is other than... except the very rarely use 5th star.
There is almost no way these are the only indictments. The fact that zero people outside the investigation knew or talked about about an arrest in July and subsequent guilty pleas suggests that the Mueller ship is fairly leak proof.
They know what they are up against. Potentially taking on a sitting president, who happens to be a billionaire, is about as high-stakes as it gets. No one signs up for that without some brass cajones and a sense of duty that would preclude talking to the press, even a little.
Trash lies, so I bet he's not a net worth billionaire, and his 2020 campaign is paying his lawyers
did any elect officer keep every promise he made
did boutons_duex keep every promise made
the answer is NO!
10 takeaways from Mueller’s shock-and-awe gambit
-- Here are 10 takeaways from Mueller’s opening gambit:
1. We now know that multiple members of the Trump campaign at least entertained the idea of getting help from the Russians.
2. Sam Clovis is about to be in the hot seat. (if a wide-enough hot seat can be found for his morbidly obese ass)
3. Papadopoulos is helping the government, but we still don’t know how much.
4. The updated timeline raises a host of new questions about what Trump knew and when he knew it.
5. Mueller is playing hardball as he tries to flip Manafort and Gates.
6. Mueller’s moves are designed to send a message to everyone else entangled in the probe that he's not messing around.
7. Unsealing the guilty plea was an insurance policy that makes it politically untenable for Trump to fire Mueller.
8. Yesterday’s indictments will contribute to a climate of fear in the White House that makes it harder for Trump and his staff to be effective.
9. Mueller has proven that his investigation is not partisan.
10. The indictments cast fresh doubts on Trump’s judgment and his discernment in surrounding himself with good people. "the BEST people"

G.O.P. Collusion with Trump Continues Despite the Mueller Revelations
Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell don’t consider new evidence of an attack on the integrity of our legislative and electoral system worthy of comment.
Ryan doesn’t put possible foreign intervention in the election, or influence peddling, stealth lobbying, tax fraud, and money laundering
—which are strands in the indictments of Manafort and his associate, Rick Gates, who both pleaded not guilty—
in the category of “people’s problems.”
typical Ryan move:
attempting to end a line of questioning by drawing on his reputation for wonkiness, and explaining how something works.
Someone so professedly nuts-and-bolts-oriented might, at some point, read the indictment, which is about thirty-one pages long.
the House, on Ryan’s watch, last week opened new investigations into the Clinton campaign’s supposed Russian ties.
Ryan, as Speaker, was the honorary chair of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, of which Manafort was one of the main organizers and front men on the campaign side.
President took the news, she said,
“He responded the same way the rest of us in the White House have—that is, without a lot of reaction, because it doesn’t have anything to do with us.”
McConnell might find that his preferred silence is increasingly awkward.

Current White House spokesperson is just as big a liar as the previous one.
