Witch Hunts. While I do believe that some instances are witch hunts, that doesn't appear to be the case with the Russia investigation. Yesterday we found out that Paul Manafort's ex-son in law pled guilty and has flipped against his ex father in law. So what's the scorecard so far? By the numbers.
In one year, Mueller has brought charges against 19 people and three companies, including a former White House adviser, three former Trump campaign aides -- including the campaign chairman at the time -- a prominent Russian oligarch and a dozen Kremlin-backed trolls. In all, these defendants are facing a combined 75 criminal charges, ranging from alleged conspiracy against the United States, bank fraud and tax violations to lying to FBI investigators and identity fraud.

Alex van der Zwaan, a Dutch lawyer who pleaded guilty to lying to the special counsel, is currently serving a 30-day prison sentence.
