Remember how Bill Clinton got re-elected right after Webb Hubbell went to the can?

The commentariat is making a big deal of Paul Manafort's conviction on eight counts of tax fraud and other stuff, as well as former personal attorney Michael Cohen's guilty plea for payoff crimes, saying the path is finally open for their long held dream of impeaching President Trump.

Trump's "Day of reckoning" has finally come, howls the Guardian.

What's more, there are no legal grounds to Get Trump from these particular issues.

The Manafort conviction doesn't even tangentially involve Trump or the Trump campaign in any wrongdoing.

Since Cohen says he made the payment to Clifford at Trump's direction, Mueller is trying to ensnare Trump in that "Crime." To my knowledge, there is no legal authority on whether paying a woman to keep her mouth shut constitutes a campaign contribution.

The Manafort conviction and the Cohen plea deal are not Trump.

It's likely it's only going to see falling ratings the more it bays about taking Trump's head, because this isn't the vaunted Russia collusion the special counsel is charged with finding, for one, any more than it's a matter of blame for President Trump.
