I feel very badly for Paul Manafort and his wonderful family. Justice took a 12 year old tax case, among other things, applied tremendous pressure on him and, unlike Michael Cohen, he refused to break - make up stories in order to get a deal. Such respect for a brave man!

(47,468 posts)Can't think of anyone surrounding Trump who is as smart and together as Tom Hagen though. They all come across as bumbling idiots. Can you picture Giuliani doing this? The visual is hysterical.

Didn't think about him with I posted the clip. But he's the guy (and he looks the part).

(47,468 posts)He manages to keep a very low profile and comes across as somewhat sane, maybe too sane to get involved perhaps.

(9,998 posts)After all, in Trumps mind Manaforts only mistake was getting caught doing exactly what Trump has been doing for decades with his own fraud and money laundering, some of which is most likely theough never-reported foreign bank accounts. I certainly hope Mueller has collected the same type of documention for the Trump business as part of his investigation. He can turn it over to NY for prosecution after Trump leaves office (voluntarily or not) so that Pence cannot pardon him.

(51,107 posts)Wonder how many of the character letters the judge will receive will come from the Manafort's swinging partners?
Dear Judge Ellis,
Paul's a helluva guy.....he's always willing to give you his wife on her back.

He is either going to save his own skin or Shitler will pardon him and set off a political firestorm for the ages!!!!
