For the first time in almost 2 years, we saw a glimpse of justice. The Trump cabal of criminals saw two from the inner circle face justice. This group of thugs will be held accountable. We still have a system of justice that wont stand for the Trump illegal presidency. Its been a nightmare for 19 months with no let up. Were a long way from returning America to a functional Democracy, but today was a sign that these crooks are not above the law.
So take strength from today, this is a long fight, but the American justice system still has a role. And please, get out and rally people to vote in November, its more important than ever and is the last chance to avoid fascism.

(7,286 posts)I had forgotten why Manafort was cut from the campaign 2 years ago, had to look it up.
He was let go for questionable financial shenanigans and shady ties to the Ukraine
Even the campaign knew he was a crook

Just like they cut ties with Trumps main speech writer because his ties to White Supremacists became public last week.

(7,286 posts)Thing is they were doing all this shady stuff I guess because they were all crooks and they didn't think 2 things
1. They didn't think they were going to win the election. Even they thought that
2. Like all crooks, they didn't think they would get caught, if they lost the election nobody would care. By chance they won the election so they acted like they were in charge now and were untouchable

(4,218 posts)It seemed like the whole crew was going to walk away with no punishment. And since they have no shame it was even worse. Finally there is a sign of these two having to answer for their crimes. Plus the orange one has been implicated. All in all a good day. Hope returns.
