NY prosecutors announce Manafort indictment minutes after federal sentencing

The GOP has spent how long "investigating" Hillary's alleged crimes? Why have they not gotten the job done yet? Maybe your team is just that inept.

It was up to the DOJ to prosecute Clinton, not the GOP. Don't tell me you already forgot about Lynch meeting with Bill and letting her off and Comey changing the law as he saw fit, something he had no authority to do.

Not one person charged with "collusion". Just process crimes and **** that happened before the Trump Campaign existed.

Well, he does have the charge for failing to register as a foreign agent. Notice how Tony Podesta and Manafort were discovered to be working for the same Ukrainians without being registered. Manafort is prosecuted while Tony Podesta is not. Selective justice is not justice. Manafort wouldnt have been charge for any of these crimes had he not decided to work for Donald Trump. Sets a dangerous precedent to allow the swamp to use the law to persecute anyone who works for any President they oppose.

Sadly, this concept is just beyond the leftists here. They have no way to process that Obama the Pure, used the DOJ, EPA, and IRS as political weapons.

Ah, don't bring it up. Yeah, it's only a debate board. You sound like Comey. Congratulations.

No, I said make a thread about it. I'm no longer interested in the conservative "whataboutism" when it comes to hillary. Appeals to hypocrisy are for weak minded individuals who don't have a legitimate case to make for their position.

Someone, anyone was investigated more than Hillary?

Are you that dense? Hmmm... let's see... can you think of anyone, anyone at all that's been investigated for years now??? Maybe even a SPECIAL PROSECUTOR has been put in place... for years... and found NOTHING. Nah, no one at all's been investigated like that. LOL!

Whataboutism is a gutless, ignorant attempt by the left to excuse their actions while they are outraged by the exact same actions by those they don't like. It's a cowardly, hypocritical attempt at looking the other way while those like HRC commit crime. Disgusting. Good job, you've fallen into that trap too.

And Page testimony just released that confirms that while Loretta Lynch was telling the media that she was going to accept whatever determination the FBI makes, the DOJ was telling them they were not going to be prosecuting Hillary. Thats probably why Comey was writing her exoneration long before the investigation had been concluded.
 
Orange is the new black and baby's in black and trump's feeling blue.

This is the danger to trump and his cronies not so much Mueller. The Mueller report can only add information to the NY cases and the states are what's going to do the damage.

The only whataboutism here is you guys insisting all of Trump's cabal shouldn't be held to a standard since some stupid old lady wasn't held to a standard.

Oh, okay. A term you just used, you are claiming that it's only used to defend Trump. Your credibility is in the garbage.

You lot keep bringing up Hillary. Manafort indicted? What about Hillary! Gates indicted? What about Hillary!

Good lord.
 
Obscurity said:
Wrong. You're being a hypocrite and so is the entire right wing on this. It's more of the elites getting whatever they want, from buying their way into schools, to defrauding people out of millions of dollars.

You guys make me sick with your elitism.

Again, why are you ok with guys like Manafort getting off? And obsessed with Hillary being thrown in jail?

I want them both in jail, but noooo, the cry baby right has to get their way and boohoo, Manafort was a political hit!

**** off with that trash heap nonsense.

Manafort IS a political hit. You aren't pissed off that Manafort's crimes would have been ignored if he'd worked for any other campaign?
 
MauiMan said:
Well, yes, basically Trump is wrong in the head, which is intuitively obvious to impartial observers. Unfortunately, there are many unimpartial observers of Trump due to his demagogic rhetoric.

Actually I'd like to know what going-on in their heads, as well. This whole MAGA thing seems off, to me.

It does get a bit tedious trying to explain every little thing that any adult would understand without help, doesn't it? As you already know, the willing ignorance is a tactic to get away from a point that they don't want to confront and have no answer for. But it is fun exposing the foolishness.

Obscurity said:
No, you said it was too much - when you know as well as I do, that you or I would be in jail for 25 years.

As far as HRC is concerned, start a new thread. This is about Manafort, not that odious hag and her illicit deals.

Manafort and Tony Podesta were discovered at the same time to have been both working for Ukraine and both failed to register as agents for foregn governments. Manafort is prosecuted while Tony Podesta gets off scot free. Selective justice is not justice.

I like it when white collar elitists like him go to jail for the crimes they commit.

Why don't you?

Why are you ok with profiteering illegally?

As far as I've heard, the standard procedure, when they are found to have not registered, is to remind them to register. As is plainly obvious, they decided to act differently with Manafort.

And if he was working for Clinton, like Tony Podesta who committed the same crimes as Manafort, you wouldn't even care.

WHAT have you heard from his own mouth that apparently NO ONE else has?
 
Obscurity said:
It's not a problem. It's not a problem. The problem here is that there is a real disparity betweent he elites, like Manafort, and the rest of us.

Odds I'd do 25 years for what he did?

This is a spectacle and that some right wingers here want him to be off scot free, is absolutely disgusting hypocrisy.

bzzzzt .. I'm goiong to go with, "it is a huge ****ing problem to the extent we can't imagine how bad corruption is in washington" for $10000000 alex.

its the MAIN reason I voted for Trump, because we NEED outsiders who WANT to get things done in there to shake up the SWAMP.

you guys think you have ahold of the head of the snake in Trump and you don't realize you're merely holding the ears of the rabbit the snake is trying to eat.
