Trump's response to this was literally, "but what about Hillary".

This is a big nothing. Manafort's transgressions predated the campaign. He's was fired in June. Sure nothing that would implicate Trump and nothing that would have made a difference in the election- which, of course, was supposedly why the Dems called for this witch hunt to begin with.

Sure nothing like influence peddling and pay to play like the Clinton/Obama/Russia Uranium 1 deal.

I was wondering if Xavier will name a school after him, most likely political science. They'd be idiots not too. Just might need to give it a few years for his legacy to settle.

I just read the article. It's good a read. And he takes shots at both democrats and republicans, including Trump.

Makes me wonder who is doing the backgrounds checks for Trump. The Mafia?

An aide plead guilty to lying about contact with Putin's family! How can you be concerned about the Uranium deal but not about what's being uncovered by Mueller?

Are we as a nation really so stupid that we are incapable of being concerned about BOTH Trump and Clinton's dealings with Russia? Does everyone really care about one of these scumbags more than our country? They both suck.
