Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation

Tell me, what do they call it when a "rigged witch hunt" actually produces a couple of actual witches?
The President's former Campaign chair was today convicted on five counts of tax fraud, one charge of hiding foreign bank accounts, and two counts of bank fraud in connection with the Trump Campaign.
At the same time, in another courtroom, Trump's former lawyer pleaded guilty to eight counts of violating campaign finance laws, including fixing payments to porn stars to hide affairs, and in his own words he did so on the direct orders of Donald Trump KNOWING that it was illegal. Then he struck a deal with the court and it'll be damned interesting indeed to see where THAT goes.
So, the score stands at:
Trump Campaign Chair Paul Manafort: Guilty
Trump lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen: Guilty.
Trump National Security Adviser Mike Flynn: Guilty
Trump Campaign Adviser George Papadopoulos: Guilty
Trump Deputy Campaign Chair Rick Gates: Guilty
Cohen, Flynn, Papadopoulos, and Gates all pleaded guilty of their own volition, they all made deals. Only Manafort had to be convicted by the court.

Michael Cohen, who worked for years as President Trump’s personal attorney, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to charges of bank fraud, tax fraud and campaign finance law violations, delivering a potentially significant legal blow to the president.
Cohen pleaded guilty to eight counts total, including five counts of tax evasion and one count of making a false statement to a financial institution.
Deputy U.S. Attorney Robert Khuzami said at a press conference Cohen failed to disclose $4.1 million in reported income, which allowed him to obtain various loans to which he would otherwise have not have been access.
He also pleaded guilty to one count of making an excessive campaign contribution on Oct. 27, 2016, which is the same date Cohen finalized a payment to adult-film star Stormy Daniels as part of a nondisclosure agreement over an affair Daniels alleges she had with Trump. Cohen said he did so at the direction of “the candidate.”
