The Gang That Couldn't Collude Straight, Manafort Tries To Double Cross Mueller. THE PEN.

Dear David, 

The instant Paul Manafort pled guilty and entered into a plea 

agreement he started to collude behind Mueller's back with the Trump 

gang, feeding them information about Mueller's lines of 

investigation. Trump's own legal PR mouth piece (not a real 

attorney), Rudy Guiliani, just confessed this in public. 

This is the same Paul Manafort who thought he could get away with 

witness tampering, using encrypted messaging applications, thinking 

he was so clever, before his first trial. That's why he was 

incarcerated as fast as he was. 

Well, check this out. The communications between Manafort's and 

Trump's attorneys may be discoverable in a criminal investigation, 

and not protected because it may represent a conspiracy to obstruct 

justice. Might be time to fit Rudy himself for a striped suit. Yeah, 

lock him up too. 

Indeed, there is a long list on deck of Trump colluders who appear to 

be making a bee line for prison. Do not pass Go, do not collect two 

hundred dollars. 

Another joker who thinks he can play games with Robert Mueller is 

Jerome Corsi, who backed out of a plea deal that offered him zero 

jail time, and immediately went on TV, telling more incredible lies, 

and leaking the documents that prove it. He now gets to sit at the 

same defendants' table with Roger Stone. 

It seems that BOTH Manafort and Corsi participated in discussions for 

and/or entered into plea agreements for the SOLE purpose of playing 

mole to feed information back to Trump so they could all get their 

stories straight. And if Mueller was not angry before, you'd better 

believe he's hopping mad now, indicting chief executive while in 

office mad. 

Perhaps the only thing worse than a so-called angry Democrat is an 

angry purple heart veteran, Duddley Do Right, boy scout Republican. 

Oh yes, and then there is Trump's retweet today of a picture of 

Mueller himself behind bars demanding to know when the treason 

prosecutions will begin. That will go over well in the Special 

Prosecutor's office. 

The people around Trump are the worst of the worst, the biggest 

liars, the most corrupt sleazebags, the most arrogant whack-a-doodles 

to be found anywhere in America. And they are all headed to jail, all 

of them. Most of them couldn't even skate if Trump started handing 

out pardons wholesale like candy (itself obstruction of justice) 

because state attorneys general are standing by to prosecute on 

parallel state crimes. 

This is truly the gang that couldn't collude straight. And in case 

you want to know they've proven abysmally incompetent at governing 

too, all to our national detriment.
