Manafort Indictment Has Nothing to do with Trump and Russia

The Democrats instructed Justice Department special prosecutor Robert Mueller to come up with something, ANYTHING, during his probe into the possibility that the Trump Campaign was colluding with Russia during the 2016 Presidential Election.  Mueller came up with something, but it has nothing to do with Russia, or Trump. . . because there's nothing there between Russia and Trump.

The collateral damage of the Democrat Party's witch hunt is Paul Manafort, the former chairman of President Donald Trump's campaign.  Long before Manafort had anything to do with Trump, and unknown to the Trump team, Manafort was doing things that essentially boils down to money laundering - a practice the Democrat Party participates in daily with the unions.

This morning's indictment by Mueller led to Manafort surrendering to authorities in the early hours of this day, in a situation where Manafort is being treated by the FBI, Democrats and media like he's Al Capone, despite the fact that he is nothing more than a tiny little blip on the overall radar where the real political mafia is being led by the Clintons and Obamas.






The Manafort arrest comes after the Democrats illegally raided his home, and comes regarding charges that have absolutely nothing to do with his relationship to Trump, and has absolutely no connection to any alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 elections.

Along with Manafort his former business associate Rick Gates has also been indicted for conspiracy to launder money, serving as an unregistered agent of a foreign official, and several counts of false statements and failure to file appropriate bank reports.

CNN is also reporting that Manafort has been charged with "conspiracy against the United States," which is a message the Democrats are trying to send because even though the charges against Manafort have absolutely nothing to do with the false allegations of a relationship between the Trump campaign and Russia, they want their viewers to think it has everything to do with it.  As far as the liberal left media is concerned, give the people a taste of what you've trained them to think, and then let their programmed imaginations come to the conclusions the little lemmings are exptected to believe.

In truth, Manafort screwed up in his pre-Trump life, and now his relationship and lobbying on behalf of Ukraine's government and his alleged failure to adequately report the relationship and account for the money he received has got him in trouble based on the evidence found during an investigation that had nothing to do with what they found.  

The full indictment is pretty much clear on what Manafort is in trouble for, and mentions nothing about Trump's alleged Russian collusion, but the media won't let the reality of the facts get in the way of their hatred for Trump, and desire to destroy his presidency.  Instead of reporting the truth, their reporting is suggesting that the Manafort indictment is connected to Trump, and it's the beginning of the end for the presidency of Donald J. Trump.

Manafort is now a lost cause for Trump.  There's no saving Manafort because he made his own bed, and now Mueller has his fangs dug deep into Manafort's neck.  Meanwhile, Trump has been accurately tweeting that Manafort's transgressions have nothing to do with Trump's campaign, don't expect the billionaire's teams to do anything to try to save Manafort.  Manafort made his bed, and unexpectedly got caught.

End of story.

The real story is actually the Democrat Party's collusion with Russia, and communists. . . which goes back longer than Trump's consideration to get into politics decades ago.  When will the media and establishment finally decide to go after the real criminals?

Don't hold your breath on that one.
