Never before has a criminal been pardoning so many criminals

[thisfreakingguy]

What's done in the dark always comes to light....

[marshcreek]

Given this kind of information Manafort's pardon could only be considered corrupt. Isn't there a way it could be challenged or revisited?

“What we thought happened, happened.” - Should be the slogan for Rachel’s Show

“Nothing we said happened actually happened.” - FOX’s new slogan

[norag]

May we Never, live through a leadership like we had…again.

Disgusting!!!
They should all be held accountable for all this

[pascaledominique]

Isn't that treason? Giving info to an enemy country?

[Pink]

And yet he still not in prison where he and all his friends belong! This is disgusting!

[aquaticlife]

Smoking gun? Between all of these middle"men" and turnip himself it's more than one gun. And that's not smoke. It's a mushroom cloud

[dunmatta]

Not surprised. They bark the loudest when they're guilty and get caught. It'll be a slow process but here's to hoping justice will finally be served.

[andreaperry]

Manafort's pro Putin resume made him a perfect fit for trump.

[britamagnusson]

Rachel is a very intelligent and well spoken lady!

[seebarry]

I can’t get my head around him being pardoned, by the individual for whom he was doing all of this for. and that being allowed.

[Adam-wnpm]

Wait... no need to “look at ...” doesn’t anyone remember during 2016, “I love Wikileaks” and “Russia, I hope you’re listening”?? Yeah, genius put it all on camera and everyone still tap dances around

"I like Presidents who aren't criminals."

[dansanger]

This isn't the only smoking gun. The Trump Tower meeting was the first smoking gun.

Think it's time for mandatory civics lessons in public schools ?

[MxMstr]

The criminality of this stain on America is never ending. The problem also, is that so many people secretly want an authoritative figure that they are willing to believe his lies.
I'm just sick of it all!

- Gloating never looks good on anyone but sometimes you just got to have a little taste. Your professional sense of restraint is admirable considering how right you were and are.
