Four Trump advisers, 14 Russian nationals, three Russian companies, one California man, and one London-based lawyer. Five of these people (including three former Trump aides) have already pleaded guilty. If Manafort and gates pay their tax bills, we will easily recoup the $17 million.

Surely that's fake news Bobbie.

Remember how pissed MOR was when the Bill Clinton investigation dragged on so long and wandered so far afield from the initial mandate? Neither do I.

What took them so long?

Bruh the federal government rounds to the nearest billion. $17 mil isn't even enough to get access to Don Jr.

When Muskie speaks...I want you people to sit up at attention.

58% of 'pubs think it's ok to rip your toddlers/babies away from you @ the border. Every living First Lady disagrees. Trump could fix it with a 30 second phone call.

There are reports on Facebook that this practice was going on under Obama. Are those reports true or are they all about more fake news?

Beyond that, are the parents of these children warned about this separation practice prior to crossing the border? I would think they would be. What kind of responsible parent would knowingly put their children at such separation risk?

Under Obama, there was a program called ATEP, Alien Transfer Exit Program, which separated families, especially men from their families, though it could also have separated children from their parents. Remember the photo from a month or so ago of the child in a cage that the main stream media was using the point out the cruelty of Trump’s policies? It was also shared lots of times on Facebook. Turns out it was taken in 2014 at a detention center in place under Obama. Once that came out, media outlets and talking heads quickly deleted the photo from their Twitter feeds.

The better question is what kind of situations are they running from that makes the possibility of being separated from their children better than staying put. The risk of being separated is better than the risk of being dead.

In some situations they might very well be the most responsible, selfless parents you'd ever meet.

Yep.

And it’s my understanding that some family separation occurred under Obama’s administration, but it was more the exception. The difference is the zero tolerance policy now which results in charging the parents with a crime, even if the only “crime” was crossing the border.
