Really? Name a single member of the trump administration who is in jail, muchless senior. Why make stuff up?
- pjc50 8y agoI said "campaign" for a reason. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-47263226 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-47263226 : former election campaign chief Paul Manafort is the big one. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-46347887 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-46347887 George Papadopoulos received a short prison sentence for lying to the FBI. The following associates are convicted but not yet sentenced, presumably while they cooperate with investigators: Rick Gates has pled guilty to conspiracy against the United States (!) Michael Cohen has been allowed medical leave before serving his sentence: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/20/nyregion/michael-cohen-prison-sentence.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/20/nyregion/michael-cohen-pr... Michael Flynn (who was actually, briefly, a member of the Trump administration) has pled guilty to lying to the FBI.
- linkmotif 8y agoYeah I must have misread “administration.” In that case obviously you’re correct. Still, wow, they got Manafort. That’s not exactly the big time. Just some sheister lobbyist. Something about “working their way through” didn’t quite connect with my perceived reality.
- akhilcacharya 8y agoLobbyist? He was the head of the campaign and selected Mike Pence! Trump wanted Chris Christie.
- akhilcacharya 8y agoFormer "National Security Advisor" is pretty senior.
- linkmotif 8y agoIs Flynn actually in jail?
- akhilcacharya 8y agoHe would be if he didn’t collaborate with the FBI according to the sentencing documents.
