Troubled Waters for the President?

   President Trump has been in office for 317 days, but for us liberals it feels like its been forever. However, with Michael Flynn's guilty plea, America may finally be able to sleep at night. Former national security advisor Michael Flynn has pleaded guilty to lying to the federal investigators about his contacts with Russia's ambassador to the United States. He is now working with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. Flynn's plea deal came a month after Mueller unveiled charges against the President's former campaign officials Paul Manafort and Richard Gates. Flynn is prepared to testify that President Trump directed him to contact the Russians. 
   In addition, George Papadopoulos, a foreign policy advisor to President Trump has also plead guilty to lying to the FBI about his communications with people who were tied to the Russian government. He meet with a "professor" linked to the Kremlin and told Papadopoulos that the Russians had dirt on Hilary Clinton in the form of thousands of emails.
   Furthermore, a grand jury empaneled by the special counsel indicted Paul Manafort and Richard Gates on charges including money laundering, conspiracy, tax fraud and failure to disclose his lobbying in the U.S. on behalf of foreign governments. Prosecutors have alleged Manafort and Gates, worked on behalf of pro-Russia factions in Ukraine, then laundered millions of dollars in profits for movement to the United States to evade taxes. 
   President Trump may not be boiling yet but he's definitely in hot water. Many of his campaign officials and even family have been questioned or charged, its only time before everything comes crashing down.
