There are three main theories circulating on this. I suspect number 3.

1. Manafort is a song bird, and he will sing, and hang everyone.

My comment: If that was the case, Mueller, who is going to hang with the Clintons if they go down, will not put himself in jail. He is very much the wrong guy to have in charge of any investigation. Take #1 and trash it.

2. The Clintons knew everything in this indictment and used it as blackmail material against Manafort, to force him to join the Trump campaign and subsequently ensure it would fail. Since Manafort worked a lot more for the Clintons than he did for Trump, this is plausible.

3. Most likely: They are going to use Manafort's real ties to Russia (which Trump most likely did not know about) to destroy Trump, and completely ignore the fact that Manafort worked for the Clintons for years, rather than a couple months in only a campaign. They will take Trump out with this, and Hillary, Mueller and Podesta will ride off into the sunset.

Of all people who could have been busted first, Manafort is far and away the wrong one if this so called investigation is going to go the right way for America. I doubt it will.

But then again, Bloomberg had this. this morning, right after the Manafort indictment was released.

"A former foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign, George Papadopoulos, secretly pleaded guilty as part of Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Papadopoulos had suggested that Donald Trump meet with top Russian leaders during the campaign. He pleaded guilty to making false statements during an interview with the Federal Bureau of Investigation."

My comment: So that, on release so close in timing to the Manafort indictment, does give a ray of hope. I would not hold my breath waiting for an answer for where they are going to take this though.
