Manafort trial predictions

Taken from the Obama post:


So Cohen pleads guilty to 8 counts. Manafort, found guilty of 8, hung jury on 10. Manafort's tax evasion and foreign banking reporting failure charges stem from payments from the Ukrainian Oligarch who is essentially a patsy for Putin. Charges go back literally decades.

I seriously wish I had the proof at the moment, but I am POSITIVE what I said was correct. That the Russia thing goes ALL THE WAY back to Nixon, and probably most deeply involved the Reagan Administration. I have a feeling that a LOT of steadfast Republican Congressmen have deep ties to Russia that has probably influenced their policies, and that is why they are protecting Trump.

Hmmm . . sounds bad. I wonder who directed Cohen? There were many candidates for federal office.
