    Come on, man. Be civil. I asked a sincere question as to the source, so that I may follow as well.

    Trump praising Mannafort this morning...called him a great guy...alluded he's a victim. I think he doesn't understand this swamp draining thing at all...cheating your taxes and laundering money in Cypress and banking fraud is just so Make America Great Again....holy shit...Trump is making excuses for this sort of corruption says to me...he's got a hell of a lot to hide

    Standard operating procedure for the IRS to handle. Having a Special Counsel do this smells like a witch hunt.

    Geez! This trial is such a farce, I expect there are several jurors that will not vote to convict just because it smell so bad. Why are they being called on to judge a man the IRS could not handle in standard order?

    Not when money laundering includes pay for play with foreign politicians or offers of cabinet positions to bankers for loans....this was always going to start as a money trail..in 5 weeks the next trial will be phase 2 and be about obstruction....that you don't value upstanding values in regards to campaign corruption with ties to the govt is actually quite baffling...yet you get wound up over street people in Portland....corrupt millionaires in Washington aren't worth investigating? C'mon...partisanship shouldn't ever mask illegal acts

    Or he won't. Some bullshit conspiracy theory about the Jurors or the Judge will surface and trumptards will sink their teeth into it and propagate as fact so they don't have to face the truth themselves. Standard operating procedure for these nut bags.

    I mean, he's already setting it up with this line "I expect there are several jurors that will not vote to convict just because it smell so bad."

    Yeah...that would be a sight. The prosecution has charges that at worst would net him over three hundred years in prison. To get an acquittal or a not guilty verdict would not bode well for mueller.
