I expect Trump will be arrested by the end of the year.That is not how it works in the U.S.
Also, the charges filed now, are only the tip of the iceberg from what I was hearing. These were filed now because of an upcoming statute of limitations deadline.

I believe it is based around tax evasion.

I expect Trump will be arrested by the end of the year.I doubt both of those. If he's really Trump's friend, he'll be out in no time, and I'm pretty sure the idiot-in-chief will continue to avoid any backlash or arrest for all his wrongdoing.

He pardoned someone before a court date was even set. No doubt he will pardon Manafort as well. Granted acceptance of a pardon would be an acceptance of guilt so it would be an interesting turn of events.

I think youre all wrong. this investigation is just getting started.
No way Shitstain in Chief gets out of this. And yes, his friend was charged with Conspiracy against the US, not just tax evasion. -

And yes, his friend was charged with Conspiracy against the US, not just tax evasion.You're forgetting the most #1 rule of them all: The president/government officials/congressmen/police officers/etc can get away with literally anything they want. There might be a little misdirected backlash later, but the bottom line is they got away with whatever they did and are free to do it again, even when caught red handed. There is no actual punishment for those elite groups.

I'm curious to know why this (NYC) horrible, but much less sever, attack was a terrorist attack, but the far more severe attack in Las Vegas was not a terrorist attack?
The ignorance just completely amazes me, it's unreal.

There is no hard definition for terrorism that is commonly accepted.
But beyond that, the Las Vegas shooting has no known links to existing terrorist groups. This NYC incident apparently does.
In the U.S., terrorism has been defined since 2001 as revolving around known terrorist groups.
Finally, the definition of terrorism in most dictionaries does include this
the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.Has there been an announced motivation for the Las Vegas shooting beyond mental illness?

Severity is not related to terrorism. Terrorism is about goals. Terrorism is about scaring other people outside of the attack, presumably to some end. It’s to enact terror. Just killing people to kill people, rather than to terrorize people, is awful but not terrorism. Terrorism is subjective, any act of terror is heroism to someone else. But just slaughter is simply slaughter.

As far as I know, there is no evidence of mental illness (or any motive really)... at least none beyond the fact that anyone who would follow through with any kind of terroristic or similar act like this isn't mentally ill in some form.
