The reality is that Trump hasn't 'gotten' any indictments against Russians. That has been the job of the man that Trump has been trying to get rid of for two years.

As for the other part of your question ... it turns out that not only has Trump "bought more plane tickets" for Russians, but he has also kept their seats warm for them and reserved their return flights back in to the States:

President Donald Trump's administration announced this week that it would expel 60 Russian diplomats from the US and close a Russian diplomatic compound in Seattle in response to the poisoning of a former Russian spy in the UK...

But there's a catch.

A State Department official confirmed to Business Insider that the White House's diplomatic expulsion will not require Russia to reduce its staffing levels in the US, and vice versa. In other words, the 60 diplomats who were kicked out — many of whom were undercover intelligence operatives— can be replaced by others.

In the future, we should not allow people to use the OP Another Mueller Arrest. It gets too confusing! Which 'Another Mueller Arrest' are we talking about? ;-)

So you prefer the charade of pretending to kick out Russian agents to the action of actually kicking them out. Good to know.

Now which of these same POTUSi has sold more Uranium to the Russians?

Ask me in 4 or 8 years. We’re not done tabulating our entirely normal trade of uranium with Russia each year, for the same time period.

Just adding this to the three because reasons:

Summary

Manafort wanted to alter a PDF financial statement to make it look like he earned more money than he did in order to secure a loan. (This is a crime.)
Manafort didn't know how to edit the PDF.
Manafort sends the PDF to Gates via email.
Gates converts the unaltered (accurate) PDF document to a Word doc.
Gates sends the Word doc to Manafort via email.
Manafort alters the Word doc.
Manafort sends the altered (fraudulent) Word doc to Gates via email.
Gates converts the Word doc back to PDF.
Gates sends the PDF back to Manafort via email.
Manafort uses the PDF to fraudulently secure a loan.
You now have multiple emails showing each and every step of the crime these idiots committed, as they committed it, without any doubt about the intent.

For a little over $100 he and Gates could've bought Adobe Pro and just edited the PDF directly.

Anyone believe Trump didn't know what Manafort was doing? We have political leaders working with known conspirators from foreign governments. It's sick and sad.

Trump is still calling Manafort “a good man”, so he must be aware of some of Manafort’s activities.
