Since the Manafort and Gates indictment create zero legal jeopardy for the POTUS, what was the point of the article?  M&G had been investigated by the FBI since 2014 for alleged illegal activities going back more than a decade. M&G have been political insiders for many years. The indictment reflects the abysmal corruption of K Street. That's not news.  

For the one-millionth time. "Collusion" isn't a crime under any statute. Proving a "conspiracy" with Russian intel assets beyond a reasonable doubt? The DNC was hacked more than two years ago in 7/2015. A second DNC hack occurred in 3/16. Both were Russian intel and allegedly were the same entity. The second asset leaked documents. US intel estimates stated that Putin ordered the DNC hack. Mueller will have to connect the 7/15 DNC hack to the POTUS Admin. Unless the 3/16 group was completely different? The timeline is from NYT. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/07/27/us/politics/trail-of-dnc-emails-russia-hacking.html.
