Trump wants extreme immigration vetting. He can't even moderately vet his own staff.

Manafort is up on 23 indictments - unless the witness tampering is another.

But you know what? That's normal.

Everybody's campaign chairman with Russian ties gets federally indicted.

And also Obams

Mueller REQUESTED immunity.

Its the judge that granted it.

YEt another indication that Walter is not exactly a fact-based life form.

In perhaps the least surprising news of the last half century Guilianni and Trump have decided that collusion is not even a crime!

Let's see if Trump panics in some whacko mad, wee hours tweet and pardons Manafort before too much evidence is presented.

I didn't know you could make $60 million as a lobbyist for a foreign government in the U.S. Seems to me the Ukraine (and sponsor Russia) didn't get much bang for the buck.

Maybe, the Russians got a tame President in the White House who is destroying the US military and trade alliances that compete against Russia all over the world, on their bidding.

What a bargain, I'd say.

In Paul Manafort��s fraud trial, a jury has been seated. Follow live coverage in the case against Trump��s former campaign chairman.

Manafort is accused in federal court in Alexandria of failing to pay taxes on millions he made from his work for a Russia-friendly Ukrainian political party, then lying to get loans when the cash stopped coming in.

The charges were brought by the special counsel investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, but prosecutors say the U.S. election issue will not be raised during the trial in Virginia.

Manafort faces a second court battle on related charges in federal court in D.C. this fall.
