I don't think Trump should pardon Manafort right away. He should wait until later.

@LuluLulu Let him serve at least a little time in prison?

It is really about how they got to Manafort. If he had not been associated with the Trump campaign he would have been fine. But since they used a non-verified dossier to get a FISA warrant on Carter Page, Manafort was caught up in it. It looks as though Carter Page was a plant and some folks say Manafort was too but I'm not so sure about Manfort. If I was Trump, I would pardon everyone who was sought out due to their affiliation with him and the campaign.

@LuluLulu But regardless of how it came about he’s still guilty af. Why shouldn’t he serve at least a minimum sentence? Then he can go back to being a Russian agent.

@LvChris I’ll try harder next time. 😝

@SimplyTracie Clearly, Manafort has broken the law. I don't know he is a Russian agent but if that is the case who should be arrested for selling our uranium one to Russia? There are far more people who has ties to Russia. Our country was being sold out to the highest bidder. Trump coming into office has somewhat disrupted the old guard in D.C. where they were all just benefiting themselves. Trump is his own worst enemy. He needs to keep his mouth shut and stop tweeting everything that comes to his mind.

@LuluLulu Well, Manafort goes to trial in a month for not reporting himself as a foreign agent. I don’t know from what country.

I absolutely agree with you. If Hillary has committed a crime, she should stand trial - Trump too.

@LvChris 😂😂
LuluLulu · 61-69, F
@SimplyTracie Yes, that was a big mistake by Manafort.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@LuluLulu They all attempted to hide their relationships with Russia or those with ties to Russia. Even Jared Kushner’s initial Security Clearance questionnaires has 100’s of mistakes or omissions. WTH? Jared Kushner Is a lawyer, correct?
LuluLulu · 61-69, F
@SimplyTracie I am not defending Kushner and he should have been more detailed and had his accountants and lawyers with his businesses assist with the security clearance since he has so many bussinesses and bussiness acquantinces. Speaking from experience from having to complete the paperwork for a Secret Security Clearance, it is labor intensive.
LuluLulu · 61-69, F
@SimplyTracie Oh, I don't know if Jared is a lawyer or not but seems like he is not.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@LuluLulu My bad. I thought he was.
LuluLulu · 61-69, F
@SimplyTracie Still, he has enough professionals around him to get it right the first time.
LuluLulu · 61-69, F
@SimplyTracie I checked Wikileaks and it says he is a lawyer, NYU School of Law.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@LuluLulu I thought that
LuluLulu · 61-69, F
@SimplyTracie I don't particulary like Jared or Ivanka when it comes to possibly running for office. I hope neither one runs for office.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@LuluLulu I don’t either.

As far as what Trump might be guilty of... I’m sure we will find out soon enough if he is.
LuluLulu · 61-69, F
@SimplyTracie Just pay closer attention and read the documents that have been unredacted. Also, listen to the Intelligence Committee briefings because you are not going to hear any of this on MSM and only a small amount of it on Fox.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@LuluLulu You’re referring to proof that he has done nothing illegal? Can you summerize what you know to be evidence?
LuluLulu · 61-69, F
@SimplyTracieI don't have proof. He doesn't have to provide proof of his innocence. Prove that he is quilty. We are all innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around. And just because people hate Trump and are still crying because their candidate loss is not justification to change the laws but that is what Mueller is doing.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@LuluLulu You alluded that he is innocent. I was wondering how you came to that conclusion.

Allow Mueller to finish what he started and we will see if he gets implicated in some shady deals with Putin or any oligarchs.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@LuluLulu Everyone thinks I hate Trump. I never said that nor do I. I despise pretty much what he says and does.

People love him mostly because he has put more money in their pockets. Record stock market closing. I’d gladly give him back any tax benefits I have gotten because money isn’t that important to me. I would rather see him genuinely work on the healthcare plan he promised during his campaign (for my grandparents and my parents).
