An expert on Morning Joe called Muellers indictments elegant because they include financial crimes that violate state laws as well as federal laws. Manafort failed to pay NY taxes too so NY Atty General Schneiderman can also send him to jail. So Mueller can force Manafort to talk. Or he can force his partner Gates to talk, a person who continued with the Trump campaign for months after Manafort allegedly left.
Mueller can talk Schneiderman into agreeing to a plea bargain that includes NY if and only if Paul has info useful to a prosecution of Trump. Trump is in big trouble.
I did not think that until today.

(34,661 posts)This whole debacle of a hand full of Corporatist's Rigging a Election only to see it taken away by some Egotist and his stupid Treason,will cause the majority of Corportist's to force Trump to resign or leave via the 25 th Amendment.
This is the end of the Republican Party for Decades to come.
