But what are they pleading guilty to? Fraud, crimes related to taxes. Lying to the FBI in an investigation where no crime was committed. Stuff from years ago that has nothing to do with Trump, or Russia, or the Dossier. Nothing at all.
That's the point, they have nothing on Trump so they are going after people who know him and have worked on his team. They dig up unrelated crimes and threaten them with 100 years in prison to turn on Trump. Look at the statement that Cohen's attorney released last week. That reads like a guy that is scared shitless and has been intimidated into flipping on Trump. They are getting people to plea to things that aren't even crimes. The FBI admitted that they didn't think Kelly was lying yet they they charged him with making false statements.
They are trying to create a ton of smoke so that the American people will think there is fire. Then, if the Dems get a majority in the House and Senate they use all of the made up smoke as a justification for impeachment. If you care about the truth at all you should dig a little deeper on this. Look into this guy Bruce Ohr. This isn't a problem for Trump. This level of corruption in the Justice Department will eventually be a problem for us all. Pissing on the Constitution might work out for your side this time. What happens when the right is in control and they want to stop one of your politicians by any means necessary? What happens when the government decides that they don't like what you are saying or doing? When they illegally spy on you, or weaponize the IRS against you, looking for dirt.
The FBI is supposed to investigate crimes and look for the man. They are not supposed to investigate the man looking for crimes.
how exactly does someone plead guilty to "nothing at all"
Why didn't their lawyers just say "this is nothing - we're out of here" ?
Heck, why even show up for court
It's just nothing...not even a crime
It's going to suck for Manafort and Cohen when they sitting in jail and they suddenly realize they could have just said this is "nothing" and "not a crime" and just walked out of court. If only they had the foresight to consult the legal geniuses at GB.com before they pleaded guilty.
Regarding Trump, we have no proof that he either did or did not commit any crimes
That's what the investigation is for
It took Ken Starr almost 4 years to get Clinton to lie about getting a blow job
If Trump is not guilty he has nothing to worry about
Surely he's not dumb enough to plead guilty to "not a crime"
If the day ever arrives when he's indicted he can just get Crazy Uncle Rudy to go to court and say this is "nothing" and "not a crime"
Problem solved.
Hopefully Trumptard reads this board and then he can relax and stop with all the tweeting that makes his looks so nervous and guilty
