Trump and all his family, cronies, and sycophants are not going to sleep much this weekend, wondering which one of them will be indicted and for what.

Plans were prepared Friday for anyone charged to be taken into custody as soon as Monday.

  Unless it's an indictment of Fusion GPS individuals or Clinton campaign staff who did collusion with Russia, Mueller needs to be fired!

  Riddle me this Batman;
  Aug. 2, Russian Sanctions signed by tRump after overwhelming been passed by Congress has been eviscerated by the State Dept. closing of the Coordinator for Sanctions Policy office, which led to non-enforcement of the law to produce the list of Russian entities by Oct.1
  
  The Coordinator for Sanctions Policy office, which had been led by a veteran ambassador-rank diplomat with at least a staff of five, is now to be handled by one mid-level official — David Tessler.
  
  What does that tell you?
  
  What do you make of these developments?
  
  Do you think perhaps there will be continuing Russian Sanctions foot-dragging by the tRump Admin in the future?
  
  Why is the tRump Admin reluctant to impose any sanctions on Russia?

  "Why is the tRump Admin reluctant to impose any sanctions on Russia?"
  
  LOL Probably because Russia has far more dirt, of the same type, on the US. A sanction war isn't going to do anybody any good.

  The biggest problem that Clinton supporters have and will never admit to IS that all the Clinton / Russian connections are and have been right in front of you in black and white in the media and in their political pasts as well . Fact . Look them up yourselves.
  
  Interesting that the Clinton owned liberal media is now throwing her under the bus.
  
  This dossier provided by Russian nationalists and leaked ,lock ,stock and barrel by the incredibly liberal media cannot be denied now either .It in itself is very telling , While the media , Clinton , and all her supporters are still in total meltdown about her election loss , the truths about the liberals bias of the Mueller and Comey "investigations has Also been in the media for the last year .
  
  Why do liberals try to re-write history from day to day ?

  Sorry, but this was years ago, ROTFL
  
  George Papadopoulos, the 30-year-old foreign policy adviser, was arrested in July and pleaded guilty earlier, he lied abouton numerous occasions, about when he tried to negotiate a meeting with either Trump or campaign officials and "members of President Putin's office" as well as the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
  
  Gates, 45, and Manafort, 68, are accused of conspiracy, money laundering, failing to register as foreign agents and making false statements to investigators — even while they worked for Trump's presidential campaign.

  The sad part is that liberal ideology of last twenty years , Obama / Holder /Clinton have so corrupted the entire justice system as to render any scene or outcome like the above picture useless and Any outcome of the investigation going on now as pointless .
  
  Who would believe anything that the Mueller "investigation " DOES reveal ?
  Who would believe anything Comey revealed ?
  Who has ANY faith in the DOJ to begin with ?
  Who believes the Clinton's didn't both leave their DNA on Putin?
  
  I actually hope that Trump did meet with the Russians and it's revealed , because it's ramifications can't equal the present mindless political obstruction going on in our culture, our media and our political climate .

  Comey was a Republican. Most law enforcement people tend to be Republicans. It wouldn't surprise me if Mueller is a Republican.
  
  Mueller has the confidence of Trey Gowdy, among others. That's about as Republican as you get. Remember, Trey Gowdy was the one going after Clinton for Benghazi. How much more Republican can you get? And he has confidence in Muller's integrity, saying it's beyond question.
  
  And Mueller didn't make this decision on his own. A Grand Jury indicted these people. Manafort was Trump's campaign manager. So are you saying Manafort was a lone wolf or that Trump simply didn't know what he was up to?
  
  They are charged with committing conspiracy with the United States. Anybody with even a mild streak of patriotism should be appalled.

  They were charged with laundering money and not reporting a quite legal arrangement with the Ukraine. Not conspiracy - there is no hint of conspiracy, except conspiring to commit tax fraud.
  
  It's quite doubtful that Trump had any idea of what Manafort had done years prior to the campaign. If the US government, with all its resources, didn't know, how can a private citizen be expected to?

  Here is the link. The relevant section is on page 23. To paraphrase, it said that he knowingly and intentionally conspired to defraud the United States by impeding, impairing, and obstructing the lawful governmental functions of a government agency, namely the Dept. of Justice and the Dept.of Treasury, and to wit, the violations charged in counts three through six, and ten through twelve.

  Important point, yes, but you already know that Manafort will be leveraged to 'sing', don't matter if done years before, during or after, it's a dirty deal all the way around.
  
  Months before candidate Donald Trump asked Russia to “find” Hillary Clinton's missing private server emails — a statement the campaign later called a joke — a Russian operative told a campaign aide "the Russians had emails of Clinton," according to a plea agreement released Monday.
  
  In the first guilty plea of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, George Papadopoulos admitted lying to the FBI about contact with Russian agents that offered the campaign "thousands" of damaging emails about Clinton.

  I can certainly see the possibilities of your inference Wilderness, but, I am of the mind that he won't be able to BS his way out of this. As in, if he does try to 'cooperate' it will have to be factual and not just circumstantial.
  
  So, if there is dirt to be turned, I don't think it will be invented.

  What proof is there that Papadopolous lied? Sounds like an assumption. But if you have evidence, I would be willing to read it and learn.
  
  I listened to a former U.S. Attorney General this morning who said that it's likely there is a lot more to this and that it wouldn't be surprising if Papadopolous admitted guilt and wore a wire to incriminate others. So far, I've seen Trump surrogates say that they don't care that Papadopolous was indicted because he wasn't important, so they should have nothing to worry about because he had contact with nobody, despite the fact that Trump mentioned him by name when he was hired.

  Maybe we both should check with our friend Google, Crankilicious. I read that Papodoupolus had admitted to lying, and already pleaded guilty to charges of doing so.
  
  However, I think the reference to lying in regards to cooperation was directed at Manafort and Gates.

  GA,
  
  Nope. The interview I heard basically said that Papadopoulos' admission was a possible indication that he had been working with the FBI and had incriminating information on others. It's just a theory though.
  
  I should also note that I read more information indicating that Steve Bannon is pushing Trump to fight back against Mueller and possibly fire him or push Congress to defund the investigation.

  I know everyone has been saying that there's no proof of collusion. I'm not even sure that's the question anymore. The question is whether or not Trump and his team were compromised by Russian agents. Listened to a former CIA agent yesterday and he was saying how it's a practice of his tradecraft to offer these low level meetings, suck participants in, and then compromise them down the road. Very interesting perspective with scary ramifications.
  
  Also, didn't Trump say Papadopolous was low-level?

  Come on ahorseback, two different eras?
  
  Same action - fire the sheriff about to arrest you. Sarcasm would be some kind of statement like; ""Sure, I see the difference." but an honest reply would be to ask if you really can't see the similarities.
  
  I would say that a Trump action against Mueller would bring more Watergate Saturday Night Massacre references than Google could index, in less time than it takes to say "You gotta be kiddin' me!"
  
  One thing is for sure. My opinion is that if such an action were to occur, Trump's fundamental base, (the ones that wouldn't waver if he shot someone on Main Street - or whatever that quote was), would be the only segment of our society that would support him. The rest of us, including the ones that are rooting for him to "drain the swamp," and bring the establishment change that their votes asked him to do, will jump ship quicker than a new special counsel can be appointed.
  
  Geesh, you really would support such an action in this political environment? Geesh!

Being an undisclosed highly-paid foreign agent while holding government office is certainly within spitting distance of a conspiracy charge. Every single person who broke the law should get charged no matter what their affiliation is. I don't see "they other guys might have done it too" as any kind of excuse. Prosecute the lot of them.
