Trump and the Russians.

Quote: "On Monday, while the nation focused on the indictment of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, another, far more damaging plea deal was released by the office of the special counsel: former Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos was released. The plea deal expired on October 5, which means that Papadopoulos is now cooperating with the special counsel."    http://www.dailywire.com/news/22922/breaking-former-trump-foreign-policy-advisor-cuts-ben-shapiro?

Quote: "On Monday, after a weekend of breathless waiting for the other shoe to drop, special counsel Robert Mueller filed charges against former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort on a 12-count indictment including “conspiracy against the United States, conspiracy to launder money, acting as an unregistered foreign agent,” and other financial transaction-related crimes. The indictment says that Manafort funneled over $75 million through his offshore account, and essentially laundered over $18 million.  Here’s the good news for Trump: nothing in the indictment suggests collusion between Trump and the Russian government. Here’s the bad news for Trump: Manafort was a horrible pick from the beginning for campaign manager, and that pick will smear mud on the Trump campaign even if Trump had nothing to do with Manafort’s illegal behavior."    http://www.dailywire.com/news/22918/no-charges-trump-collusion-heres-what-you-need-ben-shapiro?

An assessment of the situation.  Quote: "CNN writes: “The indictment against the Manafort and Gates contains 12 counts: conspiracy against the United States, conspiracy to launder money, unregistered agent of a foreign principal, false and misleading US Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) statements, false statements, and seven counts of failure to file reports of foreign bank and financial accounts.”  —But here is the real takeaway, and of course MSM outlets are ignoring it: the conspiracy charge is a piece of federal boilerplate. Alongside the basket of other charges mentioned above, conspiracy is a general category that is tacked on. It isn’t a specific singular charge. It definitely isn’t “these two men conspired with Russia to hand Trump the election.” In fact, CNN adds: “The charges do not cover any activities related to the campaign, though it’s possible Mueller could add additional charges.” But when MSM outlets blare “conspiracy against the United States,” most readers and viewers will assume this does mean a charge of working with Russia to make Trump president. It’s a nice little devious trick. Of course, the Mueller indictments are also being used to blot out the Clinton Uranium One scandal and the Trump dirty dossier scandal, both of which involve the Clintons, and Mueller as well, since he was the head of the FBI when the Bureau discovered all sorts of corruption and bribery involving Russia’s nuclear industry, during Uranium One negotiations, and either failed to disclose the findings, or failed to use them to make an impact on Obama."    https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2017/10/30/mueller-and-fake-news-charges-against-manafort/
