Day 275:
Indictment day!
Paul Manafort and his former business associate Rick Gates were told to surrender to federal authorities Monday morning, the first charges in a special counsel investigation, according to a person involved in the case.
A significant escalation in a special counsel investigation that has cast a shadow over the president’s first year in office.
This is not normal, this is not ok.
There is probably someone horrible you could be voting out of office right now!
