Over 100 Charges, 34 People and 3 Companies: The Investigations Surrounding Trump, Explained

Since President Trump took office, his administration has been clouded by federal investigations that carry the specter of devastating legal and political consequences.
In the investigation by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, into possible links between the Trump campaign and Russia’s election interference, 33 people and three companies have been charged on more than 100 criminal counts.
Six of them — including three Trump associates — have pleaded guilty, and one, Mr. Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, was convicted. Twenty-five others are Russians accused of interfering in the 2016 presidential election.
In a separate inquiry pursued by federal prosecutors in Manhattan, Michael D. Cohen, the president’s former personal lawyer and fixer, pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including campaign finance violations related to payments he made to two women who said they had affairs with Mr. Trump.
Here is a look at the charges and the people facing them as a result of the investigations.

Mueller was tasked with taking down Trump. If not directly then indirectly. If they find nothing on Trump then plan B is to harass, bankrupt and imprison ANYONE associated with Trump. Make serving or working for the Trump administation too risky.
If nobody will fill positions in his administration then he becomes impotent. The left intends to rule us and they utterly LIVID that Trump threw a wrench into their plans. This they intend to destroy him.....even if doing so precipitates a civil war. As Milton observed some types would rather rule in hell then serve in heaven.
One thing for sure, the fix was in, Trump wasn't supposed to win, but he did and screwed up all the dems plans. Have you ever just stopped for a minute and wondered, How would it be if Killary had won, ???
