In November, Americans may decide that an investigation in Congress should go full speed ahead
Paul Manafort knows Donald Trump's secrets. After this plea deal, so will Robert Mueller.
Paul Manafort's plea deal shows he's ready to spill about Trump and 2016 campaign contacts with Russians. The Mueller investigation is accelerating.
<snip>
Mueller is still investigating such matters as the Trump Organization’s finances (where has Trump been getting his money since most U.S. investors abandoned him after multiple bankruptcies in the early 1990s?); what exactly was discussed at the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Kremlin-connected Russians; and who in the Trump campaign authorized Papadopoulos to meet with Russian contacts in the United Kingdom. It is very likely that Manafort knows the answers to some if not all of these questions. And he also likely knows information that would implicate yet other Trump campaign staffers in the investigation. Like Manafort and all the other defendants thus far, they will probably be willing to turn state’s evidence to save themselves.

With Manafort’s guilty plea and cooperation, Mueller’s investigation is accelerating. In November, Americans may decide that an investigation in Congress should go full speed ahead as well, and flock to the polls to vote accordingly. - USA Today
