re: #101 Man, DangerMan
you are right; i should have been clearer
they didnt get to craig because of his affiliation with the obama admin
they got to manafort through and because of his affiliation with the trump campaign, even if what they ultimately nailed him on was prior stuff; which presumably they were using as leverage to get more information….
Our whole justice system is a model of injustice. The discussion above about the Thabo article is only one aspect.
The wealthy get away with crimes on a regular basis because it’s too difficult or expensive to do serious investigation or there’s a fear that you might ruffle the wrong feathers. This is especially true when it comes to taxes — Trump and Manafort should have been brought down years ago for financial crimes, before they were inflicted on this nation.
