A thought about Manafort, et al

If the traitortot hadn't been elected, and apart from the destruction of Obama's legacy, consider the following:

Manafort would probably not be on trial, or, if he were, nobody would care.

Cohen could have gone on committing all sort of fraud and hush payments. Or, as with Manafort, if he went to trial, no one would have paid attention.

The names Stormy Daniels and Michael Avenatti would be on the tips of peoples' tongues but you couldn't quite remember where you heard them.

Carter Page, George Papadopoulos, and Stephen Miller would be names you might have heard. Or not.

Bannon? He'd be a footnote in the surge of the European far right.
