Innocent by reason of all caps
Half an hour ago.
Sorry, but this is years ago, before Paul Manafort was part of the Trump campaign. But why aren't Crooked Hillary & the Dems the focus?????

The second one just cracks me up. Oh, ok then; why didn’t you tell us?
Uhh….they are. Hillary is ALWAYS the focus. Dems can be acquitted 97 times over, and they’re still “crooked” and “guilty”. Republicans can be indicted, convicted, jailed, and admit guilt, and they are still innocent victims.
Besides, Hillary is not in a position of power (I’m not saying anyone should go free for crimes just because they are no longer in a position to commit them again, but…she has been investigated probably more than any other American except MLK Jr). If there is evidence of a reason to investigate Hillary, Trump needs to reveal it. He won’t, because he doesn’t have any such evidence.
These law and order types only really mean “lock up all the people I don’t like for nebulous wrongs done to society that may or may not be illegal, but they don’t look like me, so who cares?” They don’t mean “I believe so much in rule of law that I will present myself as an example should I break the law, because it is only illegal when those ‘other’ people do it (you know, those other people – people of color, immigrants, people with funny accents, people who enjoy sex with someone the same sex, women, etc).
But surely he has PROOF!
Its been nonstop from the White Citizens in Arkansas to Trump. Whatever the Clintons’ actual failings, the public ear has been saturated with near-random hatred for three decades. The Stein-voting crowd are still parroting old tropes from Ken Starr.
