Here is some news that millions of us have awaited since the day Robert Mueller began his investigation into how Trump helped Putin hand him the White House and related Republican crimes.  He has issued first two indictments, both with multiple severe counts.  One is against Paul Manafart.  The other is against his principle aide.  TC is doing a one-legged happy dance.<\/font><\/p>\n

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his longtime business partner Rick Gates have been charged in a 12-count indictment with conspiracy against the United States, conspiracy to launder money and making false statements.<\/p>\n

It marked the first criminal allegations to come from Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III\u2019s investigation into possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia to influence the 2016 election.<\/p>\n

Gates did not respond to a request for comment, nor did Jason Maloni, a spokesman for Manafort. Manafort was spotted walking into the FBI\u2019s Washington Field Office Monday morning.<\/p>\n
