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

Officially my favorite part of the article. Awesome.

Boehner never accepted an earmark in Congress—and he enjoyed railing against those who did. His heckling once provoked Don Young, an Alaskan himself, to pin Boehner against a wall inside the House chamber and hold a 10-inch knife to his throat. Boehner says he stared Young in the eyes and said, “Fuck you.” (Young says this account is “mostly true,” but notes that the two became good friends, with Boehner later serving as his best man.)

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.

Of the unsealed documents today, Papadopoulos plea deal seems much more troublesome for the administration. However, if Manafort has a story to tell, he is going to be given the chance to tell it in order to avoid jail time. Only time will tell if Manafort has something on Trump worth an immunity deal.

Here's another article:

And I can honestly say, "I'm no fan of Trump."

What I gather from the article is that they were indicted for failure to be FuBAR(ed). Pussies.

Steve Kerr was on 'Pod Save America' Monday and talked a decent amount about David West possibly having a political or public service life after the NBA.

Based on his Twitter feed...meh. I hope he goes into coaching instead.

Manafort's going down - he's not going to beat the money laundering and tax evasion charges. He spent a million bucks in a rug store and another million on his clothes. Geez, how many suits do you need? Almost another million for trees and shrubs. I can't imagine anybody hiring this guy without checking up on him first.

George Papadopoulos’ day: Wakes up to US president calling him a liar, dismissing him as a nobody; ex-professor says he’s ‘a bit simple’.
Dude with no resume to speak of joins a campaign, claims influence far greater than he actually has, gets more than he bargained for.

This guy is a small fish red herring with nothing. Meh.

I just read that it was well known in DC that Manafort was shady. The article also said that the reason Trump hired him was because nobody else would be his campaign manager.
