I'm not saying any of those pricks were some perfect co-workers ... but they were investigated by a corrupt system
But they were all working with Russia and are all in federal prison
So what is your point
Remember this was all in defense of trump’s impeachment
You were trying to make some point that his impeachment was not legitimate
Russia thing is a meme
I think the FBI has to much power and not enough oversight, absolutely. But this was all done totally legally.
I would add that it has been Republicans, not Democrat’s who have sought to expand that authority.
Nobody's actually in prison for "colluding with Russia" it's like perjury and financial crimes and shit
That’s just not accurate
Or lying to the FBI
Both papadapolous and manafort served or are serving time for collusion with Russia.
Look at their actual charges please
Here's the court documents https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5750729-Manafort-Defense-Sentencing-Memo.html
"On August 21, their fourth day of deliberation, the jury found Manafort guilty on 8 of the 18 felony counts, including five counts of filing false tax returns, two counts of bank fraud, and one count of failing to disclose a foreign bank account. Judge Ellis declared a mistrial on the remaining 10 charges."
That is only the original.
His sentence was extended
@Kay no one has ever been convicted of “robbing a bank” that doesn’t mean people haven’t gone to prison for it
And Papadopoulos was done for perjury
The point is, getting information from another country on your political opponents is not illegal
Yup
@Kay incorrect
But when you frame it as, these guys went to prison for corporating with Russia
That's just untrue
Anyone who was sentenced for “conspiracy to defraud”
Which includes both manafort and papadopolous
That is collusion with Russia.
“Conspiracy to defraud the United States”
That is the technical federal charge for “collusion”
Iirc those charges were dropped
Also FARA violation
@Kay that is a lie.
Manafort is currently serving time for conspiracy to defraud
That's actually a legit lie
He's not
Yes, he is
There you lying dumb fuck.
He's got 8 charges, including five counts of filing false tax returns, two counts of bank fraud, and one count of failing to disclose a foreign bank account.
