Date: August 17th, 2018 6:53 PM Author: Costumed Windowlicker Circlehead I don't think Trump pardons him. Manafort has nothing on Trump so there's no reason to.
At least, I would have thought that months ago when it seemed he left manafort to twist in the wind. The last few days make it seem more likely |
|
Date: August 17th, 2018 6:56 PM Author: Startling property trump would pardon manafort because manafort was only charged due to his association with trump in the first place. this would be a signal to others thinking of serving with trump that he will support them if they are wrongfully charged.

Date: August 17th, 2018 6:58 PM Author: glittery massive degenerate The reason Trump will pardon Manafort (only if convicted) is the same reason he will pardon anyone else who gets convicted: principles.
Anyone who is intellectually honest and has a brain knows that this whole circus is just a political witch hunt. Ask yourself: would these charges have been brought against Manafort had he never been involved with the Trump campaign? The answer is unquestionably: NO!
So Flynn, Manafort, and anyone else who gets caught up in this disgraceful banana republic escapade can rest easy knowing that they will receive their pardon. And, as OP points out, Trump’s support correctly will not fall one iota. |
|
Date: August 17th, 2018 7:03 PM Author: Costumed Windowlicker Circlehead I thin Flynn is far more likely to receive a pardonnthan Manafort.
I get the idea that anyone wrapped up by Mueller was treated unfairly, but Manaforts crimes (if he's found guilty) were far more pervasive and predated the campaign by years. It makes sense to treat him differently.
But like JJC at his parents dry cleaning business, we'll have to see what unfolds. Frankly I'm surprised Flynn hasn't been pardoned yet. |
|
Date: August 17th, 2018 7:06 PM Author: glittery massive degenerate Flynn only hasn’t been pardoned because his sentencing has continually been delayed.
Once he is sentenced, I’d expect a pardon to follow in short order. Although, at this point, it would likely occur after the midterms.
And what you said about Manafort isn’t responsive enough to what I said. It doesn’t matter that his conduct predated the campaign. The ONLY reason he was charged is because he worked for Trump. Nothing else matters, that tremendously pisses Trump off, and it is why I 100% guarantee he will pardon Manafort if necessary. |

Date: August 17th, 2018 7:05 PM Author: Costumed Windowlicker Circlehead I agree it's pure speculation, but so is it pure speculation that he has something damning on him.
At this point, it's becoming more and more unlikely that there was ever any type of sustained collusion between Trump and Russia. I may not like him as a president, but I agree that the investigation needs to wrap up ASAP. It's time to move on |
|
Date: August 17th, 2018 7:15 PM Author: Mustard aromatic dragon doctorate It’s not pure speculation that Trump Inc got literally hundreds of millions of dollars from Russian banks in the five years before he ran for president. That comes from Eric Trump himself. The terms of those transactions are not publicly known, because Trumps company is privately held and doesn’t have to file 10-Ks. But the investigation does need to determine whether those financial entanglements are compromising, and whether Trumps efforts to kill sanctions were attributable to pressure. It’s interesting that shortly after winning, Kushner and Flynn met (and failed to disclose that they met) the FSB agent who runs Russias sovereign wealth fund. It’s interesting that after that Dec 2016 meeting, Flynn called the Russian ambassador to ask whether Russia could supply an NSA-proof SCIF to conduct future talks with that Vnesheconombank CEO (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4054401&forum_id=2#36635611) |

Date: August 17th, 2018 7:26 PM Author: glittery massive degenerate Why should the president not strip from a CIA director who calls him a traitor the honor and privilege of a security clearance? Or is a top-secret clearance an entitlement like Social Security?
CIA directors retain clearances because they are seen as national assets, individuals whose unique experience, knowledge and judgment may be called upon to assist a president in a national crisis.
Not so long ago, this was a bipartisan tradition.
Who trashed this tradition?
Was it not the former heads of the security agencies — CIA, FBI, director of national intelligence — who have been leveling the kind of savage attacks on the chief of state one might expect from antifa?
