One important fact about the investigation that is not being talked about.

Trump and the people that work for him or have worked for him are the Dumbest of Dumb.

Trump has spent his entire presidency obstructing justice, lying, firing people. He may be the first person ever convicted by talking shit on twitter. Trump was good at one thing his entire life. He figured out there were millions of people dumber than he his. He decided to make his living taking advantage of these people. P. T. Barnum. He used his fathers name, money and lawyers to do it.

Manafort; If you live a shady life the dumbest thing you could ever do is put yourself in the biggest spotlight there is, a campaign. Dumb ass.

Flynn; the same goes for him. Let me be the head of the NSA and nobody will notice The illegal foreign deals I am making. Dumb ass.

Damien; Trumps son in law thinks he is smart, he's not. He decided no one would notice the fact he met secretly with Russians and could simply leave it off his security clearance. Dumb ass.

Spicer; Dumb ass.

Carter Page; He reminds me of the movie Charly. I think he is retarded. Dumb ass. These are just a few examples.

You tell me, what do think is going to happen when all these dumb fucks have to testify under oath. Lol.

This is one of the reasons the past year seemed so crazy. We were watching very dumb people commit crimes right out in the open. It has been bizarre.

They thought they would have more power over the justice department than they do, and they would have been right had Sessions not recused himself from this.

I suspect these guys have conned so many people for so many years on such a large (global) scale that they've come to think they're untouchable, can get away with anything and not have the slightest concern about getting caught. Perhaps a "God complex."

6. And the stupidest thing they did, all of them, was to run Trump for President.

All their problems now stem from that. Even Manafort and all this dealings would be lost in obscurity right now if he hadn't gotten involved with Trump's campaign.

Same for Trump himself.

9. Trump made a living taking advantage of the civil courts...

Criminal courts and federal investigative bodies are a whole different ball game. You can neither bully nor buy your way out of them, assuming someone of Mueller's character is in charge. There is no way to "settle" beyond caving and flipping.

I have always believed that Trump thought of the Presidency was his "get out of jail free" card. He thought he could stack the DoJ to protect himself. These indictments are indications that our institutions are strong enough to withstand Trump's attacks.
