In reply to the discussion: The real big deal with Manafort is ... [View all]Fix The Stupid
(947 posts)30. Again, I've said this multiple times...please think a little bit..
Do people REALLY believe that a sitting president will get taken down like this?

You are all forgetting these two nasty, evil words: "NATIONAL SECURITY"
The decision will (probably already has) be made that the hit to the stock market will not make this happen.

You're guessing. And I hope you're right. Mueller is only human, after all.
