Why there is nothing campaign related in the indictment

[uncle ray]

18. i doubt he has info big enough that he can share to get his ass out of this sling.

yes, Mueller has precedents on how he has won in the past, but as we all know, this situation has no precedent.

what info and on who could dramatically reduce his potential sentence? i expect his buddies: Cohn, Stone, Etc. all were just as bad at covering up their crimes as Manafort was, so sufficient evidence already exists, that along with testimony of lesser targets will easily convict them. trump was surely not the mastermind, so info on him, though possibly damning for trump, is still smaller than Manafort's crimes, whether he has been indicted of them yet or not. he could turn on actual russians, but if he did that i suspect he'd prefer to be in Federal custody than risk the consequences. if he was entertaining the notion of helping the investigation, why did he not act on it before indictments dropped that threaten to take everything he has? i suspect he has tried, and Mueller basically laughed at him.

that's not to say that there are not going to be deals cut. it seems that lots of people have benefited from Manaforts russian money and enormous pressure will be put on them to help build the cases against the other co-conspirators.
