Byron York on Manafort Plea: ‘Mueller Has Not Alleged or Charged Anyone’ with Russian Collusion

EXCERPT:

YORK: "I don’t see it that way. I think all of this kind of talk that manafort is the big one. Now you are going to see progress and trump or other people will be charged with collusion with Russia. I think that all of that is based on an assumption, a belief that there is some big conspiracy between trump and Russia that only Paul Manafort can reveal. But remember, Robert Mueller has had the cooperation of Paul Manafort’s closest associate Rick Gates for months now. He has had the cooperation of Michael Flynn who is president Trump’s national security adviser during the campaign. He has had the cooperation of a lot of people who haven’t been charged with anything who were participants and they willingly interviewed and handed over documents to Mueller. So in all of this, Mueller has not alleged or charged anyone with having any role in a conspiracy to collude with Russia to fix the election. So it seems unlikely that manafort alone holds this key."
