I wouldn't be shocked if Trump makes an announcement tonight.

(6,262 posts)Then he may hold off until that comes down -- or else issue two sequential pardons?
Manafort is well and truly screwed UNLESS the fix is in for ALL sentencing.

(43,049 posts)explaining to the fucking moron that this pardon would be one of the worst things he could possibly do.
If he does it, lessee if it reaches the level of the Nixon tapes as the breaking point where even his supporters have to throw up their hands.

(58,785 posts)Almost everything at stake is much bigger than how much time Manafort spends in prison. Much as I'd like to know he'd, appropriately, spend the rest of his life there.
Proportional sentencing should consider the number of people affected. Stealing a state election is incredibly more hurtful than stealing a trailer of liquor, doesn't matter if it's valued at half a million.

(3,666 posts)Donald J Trump Jr, Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump, and Mr. Kushner will all be indicted, these sources said, although they were not clear if the indictments would all be revealed at once.

Don't know how reliable they are. My friend who shared this with me says 90% of what they have said was going to happen in the past has happened.

(52,331 posts)a lot of people here on du, myself included, have said for a long time that the four of them our get indicted.
but it wasn't news when i said it, it was speculation.
and it's not likely news when patribotics says it either. their speculation might be slightly more informed speculation, but it's still speculation.
imho, they're wrong enough to fully justify not bothering to read them.
