@wolfgang59 saiddo you think it is fair to imprison Manafort and let Podesta off the hook?
Well ... not quite.
He wasn't found guilty because he was not charged.
Still some nice jail time though unless Trump bails him out.
Seems Trump's catch-phrase is now NO COLLUSION
(BUILD THAT WALL is so passé.)

@wolfgang59 saidCmon Wolfieyou are losing traction. After all the stuff about a trump collusion, about which the conserves here have time again said you were going to be disappointed........well, now you are disappointed, and you roar back with “Trump’s catch phrase is NOW! NOW!!! .".NO COLLUSION. Now? He,s been saying since early 2016.

@mott-the-hoople saidDifferent crimes, so we would have to bring him to court to see if and what he committed. Libs tend to convict early on , usually before a charge us even brought, but since he is one of them, they are laying low.

@mott-the-hoople saidNo.
yeah, just useless lives lost right?
Whataboutism...
To make a few things clear: Paul Manafort was indicted, tried and convicted for tax fraud.
He was never indicted nor tried nor convicted for "Collusion".
The lawyer of Manafort tried to make a victim out of Manafort hinting that he was indeed tried and convited for an unproven indictment of Collusion.
To bring in Podesta is trying to diffuse the point made by the OP, that the collusion topic was a smoke grenade in relation to the Manafort conviction.
To bring in Benghazi at every point is just such a smoke grenade. If you can make out any criminal offense you should go to the relevant GA's office and bring in your knowledge which will b chekced and if there is any substance indictements and trials will follow.

@ponderable saidPrecisely.

Can you imagine the barrister of a common thief saying
"My client is entirely innocent of murder"
WTF
Manafort's trial was not about collusion,
the judge re-iterated that
and Trump twists the truth to say something like
"The judge exonerated him from any collusion".
NO
That is not what the judge said!
