You Gotta Love the "Experts" Who Know Nothing

The deal between the special prosecutor and Paul Manafort has blown up.  According to the Mueller people, Manafort has lied to them after he agreed in a plea deal to tell them all he knows.  Of course, it's not up to Mueller to determine whether or not Manafort lied; that decision will be made by a federal judge.  Indeed, this whole affair may be nothing more than another way in which Manafort is being pressured by Mueller to say what Mueller wants him to say.

Let's put the content of what Manafort has to say aside for the moment since no one but the Mueller people and Manafort know what he said or what the supposed lies are.  Let's look instead at how the so called experts describe this.

One doozy of an expert writes for CNN and "explains" that Manafort obviously refused to tell Mueller all that he knew which would incriminate President Trump.  How amazing is that.  This CNN guy doesn't know what Manafort said or didn't say.  Nevertheless, he "explains" what it was that Manafort lied about.  It's the rough equivalent of a person who doesn't speak the language hearing a conversation in Chinese and then explaining why what was said was a lie.  It's just total BS.

The CNN expert, however, doesn't stop there.  He goes on to explain why this is a show of strength by Mueller because he is demonstrating that he knows enough to understand that what Manafort is saying is a lie.  Again, this is total nonsense.  We don't know what Manafort said, and neither does this expert.  Everything the so called expert explains about this conversation that he never heard is a total fantasy.

I truly hate CNN for publishing this BS.  It's giving #FakeNews a bad name.
