Pedophiles run the world
Pedophiles run the world
I don't care about the thread, but I would bet my right arm those guys are pedophiles.My tinfoil foils when it comes to the Podesta bros
There's nothing surprising here. It's almost as if people have never heard of immunity before. You offer it to people who have committed crimes that give them knowledge into the crimes of the person you're prosecuting. If they hadn't committed those crimes, they wouldn't need immunity. This is very basic stuff.
Sounds like Manafort should have cut a deal and started working with Mueller before his fellow criminal actors did.
I used to think Trump may not be be guilty but the way his advocates try to discredit the prosecution constantly has made me think Trump is definitely guilty.
I think he’s driving at this guy doing the same thing but getting away with it and the people decrying manafort will have no issue with Podesta
Podesta's and their "modern art".
Like honestly wtf.

Did they seriously have this or is this fakenews type shit?
Most of them are Republicans, you do know Trump was accused of raping an underage girl, and was proud of lurking in the dressing rooms of teenage beauty pageants?

I think you’re missing me hereI know what he's driving at. He's an idiot for doing so.
If Manafort had turned into a witness for the prosecution, he too could have had immunity. That's not about double standards or getting away with something or people having no issue with Podesta, that's about 2 co-criminals taking different approaches to their potential legal problems.
If Manafort had turned state's evidence and offered testimony against Podesta, no one would defend Podesta. And the additional questions would still be the same, what was his role in the Russian actions surrounding the 2016 election. Manafort's problem isn't his Ukranian lobbying, that's just the tip sliding in. This is all about 2015/2016 and the U.S. Presidential election.
And this is standard prosecutorial strategy. Start with the crime that you can easily prove. Offer immunity in exchange for being a witness to everyone involved. The main guy rolls then use his testimony to move up the food chain. The other guys roll - use their testimony to back the main guy into a corner and then either he rolls or his conviction opens the door to getting to others. So forth and so on. There's nothing groundbreaking happening here.
I mocked TCK with the Law and Order thing but prosecutors do this all of the time with all types of criminal organizations. At the law enforcement level, cops run operations all of the time where low level players get to stay on the street engaged in criminal activity so that their bosses can get caught. No one acts surprised that some street dealer is allowed to keep dealing drugs so that the cops can catch a big time distributor.
The only absurdity is when people act as if this is something unique because it involves Trump.
Not what I’m saying at all. Feel like I explained it just fineManafort could have been the one "getting away with it" if he had taken the deal sooner.

I get all that, he means people will forget about Podesta in this story or maybe even act like he’s a saint but will pull out THe this is it routine about manafort.
When was immunity offered to Manafort?
He refused to cooperate with Mueller early on in this process. Cooperation usually comes with some protection from later prosecution on elements of the related crime.
