Mueller's main tactic, and only hope, is to break Manafort and have him turn against President Trump.
No wonder Bill Clinton mentions $16 million of white house debt when he left office. Coincidence?
Having an investigation in order to accuse people of crimes only arising out of the investigation itself, how they interacted with it, and not from what was claimed to be investigated, should be seen as the definition of a witch hunt.
WHERE ARE YOU FREE REPUBLIC SUPPORTERS?
Im so ashamed of all you comment readers and no supporters.
20, 10, 5. COME ON! Anything to keep FR for us.
FREE REPUBLIC IS THE ONLY PLACE WE HAVE LEFT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON!
PLEASE DONATE.....PLEASE!
THIS is the time when Trump should de-classsify and release the sure-to-be-damning communications between FBI Dir Mueller, DHS and CIA regarding the Boston Bombers. Remember, as Louis Goemert has revealed, Mueller was warned by Russian and Israeli intel of an IMMINENT threat by Tamerlan Tsarnaev...which Mueller laughed off and denied surveillance. Months later Tsarnaev and his brother killed and maimed dozens. RELEASE IT ALL. As the angry public turns against him, Mueller will become enraged and overract...leading to the destruction of his reputation and a collapse of his jihad against Trump.
He’s in a race against the clock.
The IG report and whatever other non-public investigations are going on against his buddies in the Obama-Clinton Gang will come to light soon and he must deliver a coup de grâce against Trump before that happens....................
But, what if there is nothing for Manafort to reveal? Suppose he is forced into perjury... how convincing a case could be built out of such thin, made-up gruel?
Mueller is in heap big trouble if he can’t come up with some reason to lynch President Trump. The Nazis and commies in the “democrat” party will not tolerate failure.
Don’t they need evidence as justification for an investigation? Over a year now and still no evidence. Where did the 4th amendment go? Where are the checks and balances against abuse of power?
Mueller, Weissmann, Rhee and the FBI are very corrupt.
They want bail revoked for the 69-year-old Manafort to get him thrown into the local DC lockup with gang-bangers and drug dealers.
Probably hoping he gets roughed up and will change his tune to help Mueller frame Trump.
It’s how Putin’s government operated in the Sergei Magnitsky case. They prosecuted him for white collar crimes and wanted him to change his story to the government version. They threw him in jail pending trial, where he was beaten up and denied medical care and died.
Manafort and Gates did not do this lobbying activity alone. They worked with the Podesta group and had prominent European former politicians fly to the US and do the lobbying.
But far from charging the others, Mueller actually redacted their names from the court documents!
The only person intimidating witnesses is Robert Mueller, who is also conspiring to suborn perjury by all the people his has indicted.
It is wishful thinking that Mueller is getting desperate. He has an unlimited budget and unlimited scope. He can investigate anyone or anything ad infinitum. The press is rabidly supporting him, ditto DC. His career MO reflects a definite sadistic streak; he drove one innocent person to suicide. He may be hoping for similar with Manafort or his wife.
In any case, Mueller is not desperate. He is simply destroying Trump supporters in a broad swath and most likely enjoying—and profiting from—every minute of it.

WH press secretary should start every press conference by stating that......every single time.
Tell him he’s got to pay out-of-pocket every, single penny this whole boondoggle has cost, and then let him do whatever the h*ll he wants.
He’ll shut up and quit scamming the US real quick.
Memo to Manafort: for the Mule to put on a trial. And dont agree to any speedy trial waivers.
Makes little sense. Trump campaign was 18+ months long.
Manafort was campaign manager for less than 2 or 3 months?
And Manafort’s main job was to keep delegates earned by Trump in line, so they would not defect, breaking rules and protocol.
Even if there was collusion with Russia, which is NOT illegal, Manafort had no time to learn any details.
I don’t see any desperation. I see only a malicious, slow-walked “investigation” that should never have started, an expensive make-work program for a bunch of Dem lawyers, a confusing mess of a Congressional “investigation,” and a passle of media ho’s getting rich picking at the bones of this dead horse.
What the Mueller matter is not about is the phantom charge of collusion summoned up by the losing Hillary and her corp of would-be "rulers."

Tench Coxe, An Examination of the Constitution Fall 1787Pamphlets 146
No religious test is ever to be required of any officer or servant of the United States. The people may employ any wise or good citizen in the execution of the various duties of the government. In Italy, Spain, and Portugal, no protestant can hold a public trust. In England every Presbyterian, and other person not of their established church, is incapable of holding an office. No such impious deprivation of the rights of men can take place under the new foederal constitution. The convention has the honour of proposing the first public act, by which any nation has ever divested itself of a power, every exercise of which is a trespass on the Majesty of Heaven.
No qualification in monied or landed property is required by the proposed plan; nor does it admit any preference from the preposterous distinctions of birth and rank. The office of the President, a Senator, and a Representative, and every other place of power or profit, are therefore open to the whole body of the people. Any wise, informed and upright man, be his property what it may, can exercise the trusts and powers of the state, provided he possesses the moral, religious and political virtues which are necessary to secure the confidence of his fellow citizens. The Founders' Constitution

Manafort, like the rest of us, is witnessing Trump's pardons, wink wink. Mueller better find some other jaywalker.
