Idk, no one is talking about this, probably because we're all kinda tired of hearing about stuff like this? But I figured we might as well make a threat considering it's the first juicy thing coming out of people associated with Trump. Should note as of now though, it has nothing to do with his campaign.

We know for a fact Clintons and Dems colluded with Russia and sold uranium to them but the media doesn't seem interested in that at all.

So Manafort is being indicted for a bunch of shit he did when he was involved with the Pedostas, which lines up with Tony Pedosta stepping down from his lobbying position, which means that he's probably the next to go. I think this could eventually lead to John Pedosta and Hillary Clinton getting nailed to the wall for Uranium One.

Seems plausable.

I don't really understand the issue.

What exactly did they do?

Violation of FARA, tax evasion and other financial crimes - they made a ton of money for their job and used fake/faulty corporations and shell companies to skirt tax laws (From my understanding). Nothing linked directly to Russia or the Trump campaign, outside of the fact that dates in the indictment indicate Manafort and Gates continued their activities during and after they worked for the campaign. Gates remained close to White House officials even after leaving the campaign, well into this year.

The reveal of the third person (Papadopulous) who pled guilty relates to this though, is far more consequential to the overall investigation. The lawyers under Mueller are likely going to use him as leverage to get more information out of either Manafort and/or Gates regarding others involved.
