There is so much being written about the Manafort-Cohen documents from yesterday that I’m not sure I can add anything of value. So I thought I’d gather what I’ve found to be the best articles and link to them if you are interested in going down that rabbit hole. Suffice to say that Trump’s idiotic tweet that he’s been totally cleared is incorrect. The fact is that we are seeing more and more that the prosecutors have evidence that Trump violated campaign finance laws (although many commentators are saying he can’t be held responsible for that due to the fact he’s a fucking moron) and that he and his campaign and business were colluding with Russia all over the place from 2015 on — and that there was both money and political favors involved. In other words, they saw nothing wrong with selling out American policy for their personal gain. Some might even call that treason but I doubt that will ever happen because it’s just so rude.
Anyway, there are a ton of good articles out there worth reading about all this. If you want to spend a little time doing so I’d start with the following links:
The Guardian: Mob mentality: how Mueller is working to turn Trump’s troops
Wired: The Mueller Investigation Nears the Worst Case Scenario — WE ARE DEEP into the worst case scenarios. But as new sentencing memos for Trump associates Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen make all too clear, the only remaining question is how bad does the actual worst case scenario get?
