This was a win for the American people. The Trump campaign was a cesspool of criminal behavior unprecedented in American politics. Yes, I said it, it was worse than Watergate. Trump's campaign manager found guilty on 8 of 18 charges. The government has a week to decide if it will pursue the remaining charges. Keep in mind Manafort has another trial next month.
Michael Cohen pled guilty to 8 charges. In doing so, he implicated Trump as a co-conspirator in counts 7 and 8. Cohen stated to the court Trump directed him to do these illegal acts (i.e., counts 7 and 8). Lets see if Cohen flips.
I started this thread not to gloat but to share my views on my experience in watching Fox/Hannity's presentation of today's breaking news. I watch Fox Fake News on occasion but tonight that rag was in rare form with its lies and distortions. I also watched Rachel Maddow to compare the two shows on their truthfulness, thoroughness and accuracy in the presentation of today's news. Here are some comments from the Hannity Show.
