    There's plenty of time.

    Besides, this is the same logic climate deniers use. "HURR DURR DAR BE SNOW, LIBRULS LIE AGAIN!!!"

    That's the best side of it. Nobody (of the living) will ever know whether you or me was right.

    I want the rights to a book titled: Mueller's Web

    Gates came back into the fold; European politicians are apparently involved; shell companies the world over; money moving at lightspeed
    How is this all going to knit together? I await the next installment

    https://slate.com/news-and-politics/...-manafort.html

    The paper trail seems to be the result of Manafort's lack of technical savvy.
    Documents would be sent to Gates as a pdf; pdf would be converted to Word and edited; the results would be packed into a new pdf and sent back.
    The document exchange allowed the process to be tracked:

    Even though it isn't presented as such, this is a case of money laundering and tax evasion (Gates and Manafort). A PR firm being paid by a government to do lobbying is common.

    The problem isn't their lobbying but the fact that they didn't pay taxes.

    Let that be a lesson to all of you.
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Which time?

    Or are you asking about the current iteration only?
    "The only way that has ever been discovered to have a lot of people cooperate together voluntarily is through the free market. And that's why it's so essential to preserving individual freedom.” -- Milton Friedman
