Who are they? I'm not a lawyer, but after 10 months, I wouldn't be getting a huge feeling of accomplishment over the work to date. Looking at the list and the charges, I'm not seeing much.

Here's who has been charged so far in Mueller's Russia probe
Brennan Weiss - Business Insider

On Friday, special counsel Robert Mueller's office announced the indictments of 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities involved in interference operations targeting the US political system and the 2016 presidential election.

(That's 13 of 19.)

1. Paul Manafort, former Trump campaign chairman
- 12 counts, including conspiracy against the US and money laundering.

2. Rick Gates, one of Manafort's business partners
- 12 counts, including conspiracy against the US, making false statements, and failing to file reports of foreign bank and financial accounts. He pleaded not guilty on all counts.

3. George Papadopoulos, a former Trump campaign adviser
- pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia

4. Michael Flynn, Trump's former national security adviser
- he pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his conversations last December with Russia's ambassador to the US at the time, Sergey Kislyak

5. California businessman Richard Pinedo
- pleaded guilty to one count of identity fraud on February 12, according to court documents

6. Alex van der Zwaan, a Dutch lawyer tied to Manafort and Gates
- Van der Zwaan was charged with "willfully and knowingly" making "false, fictitious, and fraudulent statements and representations" to federal investigators

Funny, I don't see Trump on that list or anyone involved with Uranium one either...

None of the russians indicted will ever face trial in the uS, so the truth will not come out there...
;)
what's that tell you?

So, "Uranium" has pushed "Benghazi" off of the front page of the Tabs, these days.

How can lying to a cop be a crime? You are not under oath when being questioned.

How can something that is against the law be illegal?

A good question.

As far as i can tell NOTHING of these charges relate to the brief that was given to Muller. In essence to investigate COLLUSION between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. They've come up with nada, zilch, zero. There is nothing there. The crimes they come up with are mainly 'obstruction of justice', or, crimes against the Special Prosecutor and not the Constitution (Muller doesn't see a difference between the two).

It's a witch hunt and nothing else. Muller is desperately trying to come up with something on Trump to validate the 19 months he has spent on this and is using unrelated malfeasance of campaign staff to force something out.. or worse invent something.. to indict Trump. He's even going back years in Trump's background (or his family) dealings with Russia to discredit Trump or create a pall of ambiguity and suspicion around the 2016 election.

The entire Special Prosecutor Office has become and political weapon. And they find pedantic little bureacrats with a megalomaniac sense of self righteousness like Muller to fill them. They operate without supervision, in secret and by means of intimidation. It is, in no small measure, a criminal enterprise. A true scion to notorious Star Chambers of medieval England.

The purpose of the special investigation is to address Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Every charge he has laid is directly related to that.

Is that your line today? First, it was collusion. Then it was trying to impeach Trump. Flossy, you and your friends cannot make up your minds. :lol:

Newsflash: For such an important investigation, the charges have been minor. You cannot dig yourself out of the hole that you, OB and others have put yourselves in. Poor baby. No soup for you!

Sadly in their respective minds all the innuendo and outright fabrication is proof positive .

Yes. It's funny why they lie in so many of their posts. They must have miserable lives, and no friends.

Trump's bigger problem may be the NY AG looking into his finances.

With his CFO granted immunity it look like they are about to open up the whole Trump box and take a look inside.

MAGA
