Who do you think will end up in prison for Russia-gate

[malaise]

for treason, collusion, conspiracy, obstruction of justice, money-laundering, RICO, etc.

[sfwriter]

1. Manafort and Stone...

Trump Jr.

[malaise]

4. Manafort showed up today in a prison suit - how have the mighty fallen

I hope the goons see what 's coming.

[GoCubsGo]

8. I'd add Carter Page to that list, as well.

And, very possibly Nunez and/or Rohrabacher.

[dhol82]

10. I hope those two fuckers end up in supermax!

[yonder]

14. Carter Page AND

his smarmy-assed smirk.

[temporary311]

2. Most likely,

nobody. Hope I'm wrong, though.

[Glorfindel]

3. Nobody. They're repukes. They'll walk, and live to commit more crimes & treason.

n/t

[malaise]

5. No people are going to prison here

Take that to the bank

[Volaris]

17. And that is exactly what CANNOT be allowed to happen.

Elected Democrats have to be willing to PUNISH these fuckers this time (and possibly risk their careers doing it),
or this shit WILL happen AGAIN.

[StevieM]

21. Just like Iran-Contra. (eom)

[catbyte]

6. Nobody, unless the New York legislature overturns their awful "double jeopardy" law.

I think if Traitor Tot is not indicted, he'll pardon everybody. If he & family are indicted, whomever is the GOP Enabler-in-Chief---most likely Pence--will pardon all of them. I don't dare hope that Trump AND Pence will be impeached, the Democrats take the House in 2019, making Nancy Pelosi POTUS. That would be too much justice. The world is still too fucked up and corrupt for that to be allowed to happen.

[malaise]

25. Already there is a Dutch lawyer in prison n/t

[MFM008]

7. Manafort. Stone

Flynn. Someone named Trump.

[DFW]

9. Anyone who flagranty violated money laundering laws

Everyone else walks. IOKIYAR

[dhol82]

11. Let's hope trump falls under that.

[DFW]

13. Other people would have done it for him

He's too stupid to know how it works, and if he learned, he put enough layers between those who did it for him, he will not be connected.

In the end, it won't help him, though. I think he owes Putin too much money to walk away from that one, and I think Putin's justice will be somewhat more harsh than ours.

[dhol82]

15. One hopes.

[DFW]

16. That we do.

ALWAYS.

[malaise]

22. I think the Con will crack under pressure

He can't keepmupmwith his own lies and criminality

[Volaris]

18. Let's hope the RNC and everyone they gave money to gets charged with a RICO indictment.

Can you imagine how much fun it would be if the entirety of the elected Republican party had to show up in court and defend themselves individually?

[dhol82]

20. Devoutly to be wished for!

[Codeine]

12. Nobody.

The era of consequences for Republicans has long since passed.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

19. No one!

[Sancho]

23. Judging from Watergate, and I remember it well. It seems similar to me...

except that tRump is much more of a criminal going back many years:

http://watergate.info/analysis/casualties-and-convictions

In the aftermath of Richard Nixon’s resignation, Watergate continued to claim victims.
The final toll included:

one presidential resignation
one vice-presidential resignation – although Agnew’s crimes were unrelated to Watergate
40 government officials indicted or jailed
H.R. Haldeman and John Erlichman (White House staff), resigned 30 April 1973, subsequently jailed
John Dean (White House legal counsel), sacked 30 April 1973, subsequently jailed
John Mitchell, Attorney-General and Chairman of the Committee to Re-elect the President (CREEP), jailed
Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy (ex-White House staff), planned the Watergate break-in, both jailed
Charles Colson, special counsel to the President, jailed
James McCord (Security Director of CREEP), jailed

I suspect that a bunch of tRump's staff and likely family will go to jail or provide plea bargains. It could result in the dismantling of tRump's entire estate.

26. + 1,000

Lock them up!

[LuckyCharms]

24. Manafort, Page, Stone, Kushner, Flynn.

Cohen may avoid prison.

Don Jr. will avoid prison unless nailed by NYS.

[DeminPennswoods]

27. Flynn, Papadopoulos and Gates

have already pleaded guilty and are likely to do at least some prison time depending on their level of cooperation. Flynn and Papadopolous' plea deal says anywhere from 0-6 months. Given that both men had their sentencing hearings postponed a few times, I'd guess their prison time will be on the low end, but not 0, of their plea agreement.

VanDerZwaan, the Dutch lawyer, just finished his 30 day jail stint, iirc.

I don't see how Manafort avoids jail. He couldn't even behave enough to stay out of jail before his trial.

I expect Stone, Parscale, Page, Don Jr, Kushner to be indicted when Mueller names the Americans involved.

I think Cohen will be indicted, but will have reached a plea deal in conjunction with the indictment ala Papadopolous. I'm surprised it's taken this long, but maybe the special master being inserted into the seized material review process has slowed things down.
