Teflon Don
I'm back baby
I think you've got it spot on. I think the Manafort trial is highlighting Mueller's failure and corrupt management of an investigation that is based on a fraud.
Let’s be clear. Manafort’s alleged crimes aren’t a fraud. They may very well be real.
The issue is that these people so believe that Trump conspired with Putin, they believe Manafort knows something. So Mueller is using this trial to try to squeeze Manafort into giving up the goods on Trump
The thing is that there are no goods to give up.
Even if they convict Manafort, it will be a big dud. This wasn’t about getting Manafort. It was about getting Trump.
They have nothing.
