A tweet reminder from Sen. Duckworth to dipshit donnie

During the July 2016 repub convention stuff started coming out on Manafort. When it first came out that Manafort had acted as a unregistered lobbyist for the disposed ruler in Ukraine I thought "Oh boy, going to see a perp walk soon". But not knowing how it works I was wrong. Finally started seeing reality come along and see it could take a long time. The Ukraine ledger entry listing Manafort as receiving payments. I thought that could be a hiccup in time since they would want to check the validity of that. But didn't really understand how long that could take. Or even if it was even actionable. His stepping down as campaign manager. Then the information about Manafort and the bank in Cyprus came out. I thought again getting closer.
Then in April when Rep. Mike Quigley went over there. I thought "okay they wouldn't be going over there and possibly stepping on any intel" if the FBI hadn't already been there. So it has to be near to seeing something happen in the public. At least in my mind but again a month later nothing confirmed. Bloomberg having a article saying "New York State has opened an investigation" yesterday. But nothing has been confirmed by any official.
Each time something like the above points in time have come out I get antsy and want to see something happening. But a end conclusion to even just the Manafort part could take a long time. Even when or if charges are brought (Possibility of a plea bargain, etc) any court date could be a long time off. How many charges and if any can or will be combined. All will be factors. Then add the length of a possible trial.
It sounds like multiple investigations of people associated with the campaign are going on concurrently. But no real confirmed info on the status of any other suspects in either collusion or other crimes like money laundering. So I am hoping they will come out like dominoes and fall in rapid succession. But that may not happen.
The main thing I take comfort in it being a drip drip is this may sink in to more peoples head that they need to gotv and vote democratic in 2018. Also all of this will help weaken dipshit and slow down or slow some of his and the repub's shit.
A Manafort shoe drop at Bloomberg News
"Manafort's Real-Estate Deals Said to Be Probed by N.Y.'s Top Cop"
"New York State has opened an investigation into the real-estate dealings of President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, deepening the already intense legal scrutiny of the young administration.
The probe by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, one of the most outspoken critics of the president, is in a preliminary stage, according to a person familiar with the matter who asked not to be named because the investigation isn’t public. Manafort, who ran Trump’s campaign from April to August last year, has owned property in the Hamptons and Trump Tower in Manhattan.
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. is also in the early stages of an investigation into Manafort’s transactions, a person familiar with that probe said. Representatives for Schneiderman and Vance declined to comment."

This is still in the no comment/unconfirmed state.
If you are on twitter don't repeat the impeach M.W. !!!!
I have seen tweets supporting Maxine Waters repeating that phrase. All that does is amplify it boosting the numbers. Put impeach trump if you are responding.
How Shipwrecked Champagne Is Changing Winemaking
Thought this was interesting. I wonder if they will run lab tests to see if there is a change in the chemical compounds.
"Connoisseurs have long suspected that wine ages differently underwater. Analyses from a 10,000-bottle-capacity cellar off the Spanish coast by a company called Bajoelagua Factory show that factors like atmospheric pressure and water currents change the chemical compounds in wine.
Napa’s Mira Winery conducted its own taste tests on 240 bottles in Charleston Harbor. When the first case was pulled up in 2013, a sommelier told owner Jim Dyke: “You’ve turned a 2009 cabernet into a 2007 in three months.” "

How many r's will be indignant when/if
Dipshit donnie's kids are charged with rico cases or tax evasion?
From the very beginning I'm pretty sure most people here have thought it will be coming. Not talking about any of the stuff going on lately but in general. All the mafia ties, shell companies, misuse of charity funds by daddy, etc. I am sure those life teachings were passed on to the kids.
I fully expect the trumpers to be screaming fake news! (At daddies prompting) They will be saying they shouldn't go after the "kids" even though they are adults and aware of consequences. Trying to come up with some kind of excuse for their actions. Or saying it is all a conspiracy.
What's coming next from the nsa tools out in the wild?
Not including this one or variants of the ransomware released that caused a lot of problems. I have a question for those who have heard what else was in there.
What other threats may turn up? This last one was directed at Microsoft products. Are there some different programs that affect Microsoft stuff by a different route? Are there Apple hack tools? Linux? Phones? Or any of the "internet of things" hacks in the stuff stolen?
