So Obama did in this case what Trump voters want, and you criticise him for it?
I'm criticizing Obama for being Putin's puppet. That youtube clip proves the collusion and the quid pro quo.

I can't understand the degree of ingratitude to Obama among Wall Street Republicans. He protected you from any form of criminal responsibility after the 2008 crisis. He was your man through and through. And this is how you repay him?

Riiight.
if makes me physically sick to see the president of the united states cowtowing to a brutal dictator.
It's nothing short of treasonous.
All of which were said after President Trump met with Putin in Helsinki.
"nothing short of treasonous" was Brennan
If such a video existed of President Trump, the usual suspects would be saying it was the "smoking gun" for impeachment.

The Fed is a creature of the Democrats, with its central planning (which we ridiculed when done by  the soviets) and socialization of losses. In 2008, the Fed did exactly what its creators intended: it bailed the bankers out
If you look back at the bailout (TARP), the first vote in the House (Sept. 29, 2008) failed 205-228, and of the 205 "ayes," 140 were D and 65 were R
The second go, it passed in the Senate  (Oct. 1, 2008) with 39  D, 34 R, and 1 I in favor, and in the House (Oct. 3, 2008)  with 172 D and 91  R in favor.

Hillary was paid $675K for a speech by Goldman, because "That's what they offered"

None of which changes the fact that Obama was Putin's bitch.
He threw Poland off the back of the sled to appease his paymaster

Ppauper is not exactly a Wall Street type. He just doesn’t like socialist Muslim black guys from Kenya, especially not if they are uppity.

indeed, Manafort was indicted for money laundering and failing to register as an agent of a ukraine political party, all of which took place long before he worked (for free) on the Trump campaign and none of which had anything to do with "Russian collusion." Rather the mueller probe was used to circumvent the constitution and rummage through people's lives looking for past wrongdoing
And the point has been made here repeatedly that Manafort worked hand-in-hand with a number of democrats in the ukraine, including Tad Devine  (bernie camoaign) and the Podesta boys, Tony and John. John Podesta chaired the Obama transition, ran the Hillary camaign in 2916, and was BJ Ciinton's chief of staff and Counselor to Obama,  Those Democrats are believed to have done the exact same things as Manafort, but were offered immunity in return for helping get Manafort.

Looks like Trump is a bad judge of people.

there you go with the race card. I'd prefer a black christian president (Ben Carson for instance) to a white muslim.
And we all know you don't want a jewish president (or a jewish anything for that matter), regardless of whether those jews are white, black, brown, yellow, or any other color

looks like nothing of the sort. Manafort was a mainstay of past GOP campaigns (Ford, Reagan Dole for starters) and was second to none when it comes to coralling delegates at the convention, which is exactly what was needed when it looked like there might be a floor fight.
As stated, John Podesta (who did the exact same things as Manafort but was given immunity) worked for BJ Clinton, Hillary, and Obama, so you must consider those three to be poor judges of people also.
Manafort would not have been prosecuted if it had not been for the Mueller special council and would not have been prosecuted if he had not worked for Trump. He was targeted to try to get  him to give the prosecutors something against Trump

Not sure where your inspiration comes from here? Just because I don’t favor the indiscriminate killing of Palestinians and Jared K? Anyway, I’d be quite happy with Mike Bloomberg as president.

That would read more clearly as “... Jared K and the indiscriminate killing of Palestinians”

Right, right. And, to be clear, Manfort has not merely been indicted and prosecuted, he has been found guilty of a variety of felonies.

So he did it. And so did the Podestas and Tad Devine, who were given immunity rather than indicted or prosecuted.
My point would be that they should all have been treated the same. Prosecute all or prosecute none, rather than prosecute the Trump volunteer and give immunity to the democrats
The judge (Ellis) summed it up
“You don’t really care about Mr. Manafort’s bank fraud. You really care about getting information Mr. Manafort can give you that would reflect on Mr. Trump and lead to his prosecution or impeachment.”
