One: Manafort didn't go to prison related to anything to do with Russia or the Trump campaign. It wouldn't matter if Trump did try and pardon him as charges would only be leveled against him on a state level which Trump wouldn't be able to do anything about.

Manafort is though at the very heart of the beginning of the Russian collusion narrative. That's why democratic operatives started the process of linking Trump with Russia. I am pretty certain this is all going to fall like a house of cards as I highly doubt we'd see Nunes during the impeachment trial claiming the impeachment process is democrats way of avoiding taking responsibility for the Russian collusion set up that is about to come tumbling down on their heads (not his exact words but I doubt he'd make these claims if he didn't know the truth was forthcoming upon completion of the criminal probe) but instead would rather set up another narrative along similar lines).

To understand this a bit better it may be easier if we go with Ukrainian president #1, Ukrainian president #2, Ukrainian president #3, Ukrainian prosecutor #1 and Ukrainian prosecutor #2. Manafort worked for UP#1 as a political consultant, there isn't any crime in that unless you don't register as a foreign agent, which he didn't. Manafort was gone by the time UP#1 fell in a revolt staged by his own people, he fled to Russia supposedly taking billions of dollars with him. During this revolt is when Ukrainians died as so sympathetically detailed by Marie Yovanovitch during her testimony as if we should have sympathy for the fact that Ukrainians, the most corrupt country on earth, keep voting in corrupt officials, as this sympathetic leaning is meant to drive focus away from the fact the country is corrupt and have us led to believe these are poor helpless defenseless souls yearning for military aid to defend themselves. Just as it is driven we are suppose to feel oh so sorry for her job loss at the hands of the big bad bully Trump yet here was a woman in a country bumping elbows with some of the most corrupt people on the face of the earth.

In reality though the unseating of UP#1 gave the democrats a prime opportunity to use the Ukrainian's, who have a similar dialect as Russians to leverage their anger toward the US as Manafort helped get the man elected. What most people don't realize though is Manafort became Trumps campaign manager via the recommendation of one of the Pedesta brothers who told Trump Manafort could get anybody elected so Trump hired him unbeknownst to him he was about to be set up. That was how the Russian collusion narrative became born.

Now during the reign of UP#2 is when Hunter Biden got on the board of Burisma, it also happens that his appointment to the board coincided with Britain asking Ukranian to investigate Burisma for money laundering. That first request came when U prosecutor #1 was in office. Joe Biden intervened and had the first investigation shut down. Britain who had froze the assets of the owner of Burisma in Britain lost in court when they never got the evidence needed from Ukraine because the investigation was shut down, there was an outcry at the UN and they demanded the investigation be reopened. The case gets reopened but by this time U prosecutor #1 retires and U prosecutor #2 takes up the case. Joe Biden once again steps in and has the investigation shut down by getting the prosecutor fired, which is the one he is shown bragging about on video.

Why?...could it have just been because his son worked for the office or is there some truth behind the allegations that the Bidens were involved with funneling US aid through Burisma back into the US?...which was why he was calling for higher gas prices from Burisma to hide the income as they really didn't technically raise the prices? Now think about the above statement and other statements pouring forth from this impeachment hearing about how very vital it is for Ukraine to be able to defend themselves from Russia and that in return is of vital national security interest to the US....so ask yourself why during the Obama administration did they ship them blankets and pillows? I am no expert by any means but to me shipping something as cheap as blankets and pillows could surely mask money being launder throw a gas company back into the US. I don't know how true these allegations are but they sure are worthy of being investigated. Right now as it stands this sympathetic selling point isn't quite hitting it because it just doesn't mesh with a country full of corruption.

Number two: Roger Stone. Now I've read some stuff on Roger Stone and his buddies and believe me if there was really a group of bubbling idiots who could hap hazardously get a president elected I've read it...and it'd make your stomach churn in the end if you connected all the dots and there was a reality to it all. Right now though that's all a bit more flippant then what the current investigations into the Russian collusion narrative is finding, as I stated above I'd find it hard Nunes would be openly making these claims during testimony on record if he didn't know there was some viable truth about to unfold. That being said, if it comes to fruition Roger Stones is going to end up being one of the richest men on earth after he gets done suing for being set up by corrupt intelligence agencies and the democrats. On the other hand if it doesn't come to fruition...believe me you'll never know the ending as it will cost him his life.
