What successful prosecutions? Process crimes bullshit?
Mr. Manafort was convicted of five counts of tax fraud, two counts of bank fraud and one count of failure to disclose a foreign bank account, plus he pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy against the US and one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice due to attempts to tamper with witnesses. Michael Cohen plead guilty to lying to Congress about Russia Trump real estate project. Facts.
Manafort is mostly just a typical white collar criminal similar to many thousands lurking on Wall Street and elsewhere where dubious deals are made. His mistake was being arrogant enough to put himself next to the most visible man on the planet, and that got him scrutiny that he would never have gotten otherwise. "But everyone does it" was not enough of a defense. Cohen was Trump's weasel on a leash, his story is far from over, and IMO far more important since it involves foreign influence on POTUS.
So, nothing involving Trump. As I said, monte is a bitch jumping to conclusions and can't answer the simplest process question that CMag ask. Your multi year, multi million dollar fishing expedition netted you a couple guppies, one of which the FBI passed on prosecuting in the past, but thos investigation needs a pelt so idiots like you can gloat about it. Congratulations you must be so proud.
Why is it that every story involving Trump and Russia collusion always ends up being redacted or the paper has to issue a correction which essentially nullifies the entire story? They always put these corrects on like page 8 where few people will read them.
Its very strange how these stories and the errors always seem to go hand in hand. I know the news is just trying to find the truth and is above half assed ideological reporting, but the cynical part of me thinks this is some kind of witch hunt...

Cohen's plea directly involves his actions on Trump's behalf.

Our beloved Military Academy has lost its way. It is a shadow of what it once was. It used to be a place where standards and discipline mattered, and where concepts like duty, honor, and country were real and they meant something. Those ideas have been replaced by extreme permissiveness, rampant dishonesty, and an inexplicable pursuit of mediocrity.
