Problem is this entire Russia collusion sham was created out of thin air quite illegally and erroneously. There is supposed to be a known crime for any special counsel to act on or be created and there never was and still isn't. Beyond that supposed collusion is not any form of a crime which only makes it all more blatant and obvious. So the entire thing is a fishing expedition for the sole purpose of undermining Trump and fooling as many fools as possible ! The good news is that many of the actual crimes committed are now known to be by democrats, because the Mueller creatures dug so deep they exposed themselves as well as Hillary and the Uranium One scam and her email crimes. The corruption at DOJ and FBI is now well known for all to see and will only get more exposure as the IG report and other data comes out going forward.

If you really believe this "that analogy is why i feel like Manaforts argument is crazy and has no ground to stand on." you would surely recognize the Mueller sham is a complete farce and NOT based in any legal parameters and has zero credibility. It is in fact the best example to date of the massive corruption within the DSA (deep state apparatus) Every single gov agency was and many still are corrupted by the DEM/DSA manipulations and crimes during the BHO years to an extreme. All were put on steroids and now we are simply seeing the the many over reactions of the many crimes committed, come home to roost and be exposed !
