Midknight Review -- new and revised: More indictments for Manafort. What does this mean for the Trump-is-a-Russian-agent nonsense?

More indictments for Manafort. What does this mean for the Trump-is-a-Russian-agent nonsense?

Special counsel Mueller files new charges in Manafort, Gates case … New charges were filed Thursday against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his business partner, ratcheting up the legal pressure on them as they prepare for a trial later this year.

Editor: I believe that this means Mueller has given up on "flipping" Manafort. Look, Manafort was associated with the Trump campaign for three months and was fired because he had not registered as a foreign [business] agent. He messed with 70 million dollars over the years, and kept 30 million without reporting to the IRS. It is no more involved than this.

He can't "flip" on collusion because so such thing exists. And, he is going to jail because he is a crook . . . . plain and simple.

One final thought: If Mueller can't find anything supporting the fantasy that Trump is a Russian agent, what with 45 prosecutors working on the case, one must assume there is nothing to fine.

Now you know.

The crime is now Conspiracy against the United States.

Gates pled guilty to lying specifically about a meeting between Manafort, Russia, and Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher. This now opens the door for Mueller to take down any and all Congressmen who committed crimes in the Trump-Russia scandal and coverup, particularly Nunes. Gates also pled guilty to Conspiracy against the United States, thus legally establishing that Trump-Russia was a criminal plot against the U.S. Mueller brought obstruction of justice charges against Manafort, opening the door for numerous Trump advisers to face the same charges. Mueller keeps winning.

Trump spoke today and while he was saying he supports law enforcement.... the Breaking News below the screen said: "Gates to plead guilty, signals cooperation with Special Counsel" - PERFECT

Comrade Smithson, stop siding with Putin.

It's coming, you can't stop it, justice will prevail.

Let's return the favor, shall we?

CLINTON: You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. That’s why I believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength. And you heard how the Republican members led by Mitch McConnell, the president really demeaned the confirmation process.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
