Mueller Got Another Scalp

Barely. Out of 18 “charges,” Manafort was found guilty on 8, and got a mistrial on the other TEN. After YEARS of effort, Mueller now has his second “scalp,” neither having ANYTHING to do with Trump, OR “Russian collusion” in the 2016 election. Next on his list is Trump’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, who might or might not be able to provide some “concrete proof” that Trump did something wrong—but maybe not. I’d take odds that he has NO such “evidence” to give. If he did, Mueller would have long since shouted it from the rooftops. They MAY convict him of some wrongdoing having (again) nothing to do with Trump, because he does not provide them with such “evidence” because he CAN’T. There is none for him to give them. He MIGHT ultimately CLAIM that he did some dastardly things “on orders from Trump.” But it will be hearsay, “He said, she said,” gained by months of severe pressure and the ruination of them financially and mentally. Manafort has already been reduced from his former “lavish lifestyle” to a prison cell, with the prospect of spending the rest of his life in prison if he doesn’t give Mueller “something,” anything he can use against Trump. Meanwhile, nobody has ever given a serious look at all the CRIMES committed by Hillary Clinton in her effort to BUY the presidency. At the same time he is causing ALL potential Trump staffers to wonder if they really want to take a chance on such an anal inspection for themselves, just because they worked for Trump, making it impossible for Trump to find people to work for him. (Just common sense)
