Pssssst Breaking

[malaise]

Manafort's lawyers tried to negotiate a plea deal for the DC trial. Stay away from fans folks.

[uppityperson]

1. Seriously?

[malaise]

6. WSJ

Must be missing his fine clothes and warm bed

[guillaumeb]

2. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

There might be some Trump voters reading here.

3. WSJ

The WSJ doesn't seem to know what the negotiations were about:

4. reports that Fake President was screaming all weekend and feels trapped..

[malaise]

8. He ain't see nothin' yet

The nutcracker is squeezing the Con's balls.

5. But they broke down!

No wonder agent orange is freaking out trying to find someone to help him pardon the pig.

[shraby]

7. Because Mueller had some issues that need ironed out.

[2naSalit]

11. I'm thinking that the answer will be

NO, no deal!

[GusBob]

9. Why would Mueller not accept the deal?

?

[2naSalit]

12. Doesn't need what

he has to offer.

[oberliner]

10. Isn't the important part of the story the fact that they did not make a deal?

And that the talks broke down?

[malaise]

14. I posted what was breaking

It's all important.
Mueller has the handle - Manafort has the blade. Avenatti is correct - he's in a weak position following last week's verdict.

[oberliner]

16. Understood

I'm just saying that the fact that there was no deal implies maybe he is going to hold out for the pardon.

[malaise]

17. We don't know that

No one trusts Don the Con and they're all rats.

[Fred Sanders]

22. Manafort holding out for no jail time and witness protection program...Mueller said...nyet..we

had you before on the tax stuff and we have you now on this much closer to Trump stuff....10 years minimum...no protection.

Unless...tell us all about Trump, Ukraine and Putin AND will testify...All...then we take under advisement.

[magicarpet]

13. Russian ko-luz-zhun (conspiracy) here we come.

Manafort knows all the Russian nasty stuff. The Russian Mafia put Manafort up to the idea - making trDump Putin's puppet and rigging the election to get Putin's desired result.

[malaise]

15. Yep

[Atticus]

18. Are you implying that the feces is about to strke

the rotating air redistribution device?

[malaise]

20. With force and in all directions

[Marie Marie]

19. Oh this is so beautiful....

Wasn't Trump, just a few days ago, lauding the fact that Manafort was a strong honorable man who didn't flip? Ooops, wrong again!

[malaise]

21. He's an idiot

His is a gang of snitches - every man for himself.
