I agree. But that won't stop Trump. He keeps painting Manafort as a choir boy and saying just how terrible what they are doing to him. Never mind that the charges Manafort was convicted of are serious crimes. But I guess lying to banks and creditors to get millions in financing or tax evasion are petty.

Trump figures there will be a storm associated with the pardons, but he thinks he can weather it. No, a pardon is certainly coming. Manafort is depending on it or he's never going to see daylight again. Because they are certainly going to sentence him to 20 years plus.

He has every reason to believe so considering how Teflon Don has gotten away with everything else he's done. So far.

Unless the Republican Senators say this is a bridge too far, it ain't. And I am saying after he does it.

A lot of GOP congress critters might not be so sure they can weather the storm, though.
SOmeday, maybe, it will dawn on people that Trump does not give a damn about the GOP.

I bet a lot of them feel they are damned if they do and damned if they don't. But if they're smart, they should get ahead of the curve.

I don't think Trump cares about anyone but himself and his family. And some members of his family are questionable.
 
Former national security advisor Michael Flynn has given special counsel Robert Mueller "first-hand" details of contacts between President Donald Trump's transition team and Russian government officials, Mueller said in a bombshell court document filed Tuesday night.

Mueller, in that sentencing memo, said Flynn's "substantial assistance" to the special counsel's probe over the past year warrants a criminal sentence for him on the low end of federal guidlines, which could include no jail time for the retired Army lieutentant general.

Mueller's memo almost completely blacks out the details of what Flynn told the special counsel's office.

Linky.

The redacted memo is here.
 
I guess Mueller is a Black Flag fan!

Flynn is going to get on the low end of a range that called for 0 to 6 months for "substantial assistance" which otherwise would have called for .... zero months.

lolz.

Trump is not going to pardon any of these. Only a few close family if it comes to that.

I disagree. I think he's definitely going to give Manafort and Stone pardons. And if things get crazy, he'll then issue preemptive pardons to his family and then maybe himself.
