#1 There's enough there to put Manafort away for the rest of his life, which might motivate him into generating a narrative implicating Trump. All Congress wants or needs is an excuse to rid themselves of the threat to the Deep State.

#2 Still a win for our side. Meuller may have hooked little fish Manafort but he also inadvertently snagged big fish Tony Podesta. The Podesta group is being dissolved at this minute and a run on Bleach Bit is being made. Manfafort should spill his guts about his dealings with the Podestas and any other Dems.

#5 The Podesta Group was hired by Paul Manafort on behalf of foreign clients because the company was perceived to have a direct line to powerful politicians, like Hillary Clinton.

The chairman of one major presidential campaign colluded with a brother of the *other* major presidential campaign to enrich themselves by secretly advancing the interests of a foreign adversary. That happened. That's "the swamp" everyone is saying needs to be drained.

The Mueller investigation is no longer a search for Russian collusion with Trump in the 2016 race. It is now a much more far-reaching inquiry into corrupt lobbying practices all across Washington DC, the so-called "swamp". An investigation that is very likely to ensnare figures close to Hillary Clinton.

In press accounts, Mueller's investigation is still framed as a hunt for collusion between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and the government of Russia, but that description is mostly bogus. The investigation has broadened now to determine which people and which organizations in Washington DC have spent years working *secretly* as de facto operatives on behalf of Russian government and business interests.

The Podesta Group is chief among these.

They are more focused on facilitators of Russian influence in America than they are on election collusion.

#7 the Podesta Group financial records, where might they be now ?
They're on Hillarey's computer server - but it had a catastrophic hard drive failure and they were lost.
