  1. Santos L Halper  : The way they went after everybody Trump-related and let every Democrat skate (so far), and turned the power of the U.S. Government against Trump minions, one has to wonder if they're singing, now, or composing, as Dershowitz likes to say. If a prosecutor has it in for you, he can bury you, pretty easily. I wonder what Rosenstein's decision NOT to prosecute Manaforte at the time says about this situation. Some of the charges (and convictions) sound like Manaforte was one of those guys who tapped into the free-for-all that was post-Soviet Russia. Russia was pretty much taken over by corruption, with apparatchiki under the Soviets morphing magically into Giants of Industry, and making a lot of people a lot of money by basically raiding the Soviet Union's carcass, while a lot of people were suffering. The only name I knew of in this regard, specifically, was that Browder character. But Putin definitely has a dim view of many of the people doing business in Russia after the wall came down. Guys made huge money and dodged taxes in the chaos, I think. That's why Putin is very popular in Russia. They see him as the guy who more or less restored order after a bunch of fat cats picked what little meat there was left on the USSR's bones. But we'll have to see what comes of Cohen's situation. Those are pretty juicy accusations. I guess we'll see how it all ties in.
