Papa is fool. Flynn is dangerous but an idiot. Manafort is much, much worse. He was the Russia connection. In my mind, he is a bigger fish than the Rump. So what worries me is that he would be given a reduced sentence and be able to go back to wheeling and dealing with Putin in no time at all. Then #47 would be Kanye!

Yes. But it would haveto really break up all or major part of their crime JI7 Jun 2018 #7

Yes if you throw in all the complicit GOP leadership, donors and media as well. meadowlander Jun 2018 #9

Manafort had no power prior to his arrest. Trump is the most powerful man in the world. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #20

I agree with you on that. The Rump is wrecking the world ProudLib72 Jun 2018 #21

depends on what his crimes are. Then possibly a reduced sentence. Lil Missy Jun 2018 #18
