Paul. He gave so much, yet asked so little. What a sad, sad, unfair day for America. SAD!
I've posted these videos to hopefully express the sad, tragic mood we are all in today.Paul Manafort, Who Once Ran Trump Campaign, Told to Surrender
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/30/us/politics/paul-manafort-indicted.html
WASHINGTON Paul Manafort and his former business associate Rick Gates were told to surrender to federal authorities Monday morning, the first charges in a special counsel investigation, according to a person involved in the case.
The charges against Mr. Manafort, President Trumps former campaign chairman, and Mr. Gates, a business associate of Mr. Manafort, were not immediately clear but represent a significant escalation in a special counsel investigation that has cast a shadow over the presidents first year in office.
Mr. Gates is a longtime protégé and junior partner of Mr. Manafort. His name appears on documents linked to companies that Mr. Manaforts firm set up in Cyprus to receive payments from politicians and businesspeople in Eastern Europe, records reviewed by The New York Times show.
Mr. Manafort had been under investigation for violations of federal tax law, money laundering and whether he appropriately disclosed his foreign lobbying.

I ADMIRE Trump's focus, that he can still tweet gushing fanboy Fox & Friends praise on Mueller Day.

While not at all presidential I must point out that the Sloppy Michael Moore Show on Broadway was a TOTAL BOMB and was forced to close. Sad!

All of this "Russia" talk right when the Republicans are making their big push for historic Tax Cuts & Reform. Is this coincidental? NOT!

https://www.rawstory.com/2017/10/ex-us-attorney-bharara-mueller-will-watch-for-trumps-overreaction-to-mondays-arrests-before-making-next-move/
Speaking with host Jake Tapper, Bharara who was dismissed by Trump said the Trumps history indicates he may lash back, and that could be telling.
We know from history, at least from several months, that the president of the United States has strong reactions to public events, even events that have been caused by his own actions, Bharara explained. So after he fired Jim Comey, he went on television with [NBCs] Lester Holt and said some things that were incriminating in connection with a obstruction investigation. He said he fired Comey with, being on his mind, facts related to a Russia investigation.
So I would look for a couple things, he continued. I would watch and see if Donald Trump has a reaction and talks in away that could be used against him in the future. The second thing I would look at is if the president sends some kind of message to the potential defendant or at other witnesses. Is he sending a message of intimidation in some way thorough himslef and his cohorts, suggesting that people should not be talking and should keep their mouths shut?
The former U.S. Attorney also suggested that Trump could use a presidential pardon to temporarily derail the process.
