Happy Friday!

Mueller is smart. The more he hands off to other USDAs, the less Trump can interfere by firing him or defunding the Special Counsel investigation.

This looks like a Mueller ‘pass off’. I’m really hoping that Mueller indicts Jr. sometime next week after Giuliani’s bullshit Sept. 1st nondeadline. I love the sound of wingers howling at the moon, like dark suited, feral canines in red-faced, full throated fauxtrage.

And what’s so fucking stupid about the way our press handles these things is that Rudes could have set up a completely idiotic nondeadline, such as the August full moon and Chuck Todd and his listless coven of bothsiders would stroke their chins and act very serious and say: :“Tomorrow’s the August full moon, Mueller better act quickly. Could Mueller be on shaky ground? Here’s Bob Costa to talk about the optics of Mueller’s indicting a Trump associate after the full moon.”

“Thanks, Chuck, talk around the White House is that Trump and his advisors may use breaking the full moon rule as a pretext for firing Jeff Sessions…”

Even funnier: The US Attorney in DC is a Trump appointee. She worked on his transition team.

(In her previous stint in government, she worked for George W. Bush.)

Good thing there was “NO COLLUSION”. Otherwise there might be a real problem…

The article omitted the fact that, prior to committing this felony, Patten used to work for Cambridge Analytica.

Manafort may discover he’s waited too long to try for a plea deal…

. Patten also worked for the parent company of Cambridge Analytica, the data company that worked for President Trump’s campaign, ahead of the 2014 elections to help develop their voter targeting program,

There was some GOP lackey on with Chuck Todd yesterday. He made two points:
(1) Mueller should wrap his investigation up sooner, rather than later; and
(2) Mueller shouldn’t announce any indictments between Labor Day and the mid-term elections.

This sounds very much like a flip case… hopefully we will know soon what he offered to the investigators and what fly will drop next as a result.

I wonder if the Cypriot account has Wilbur Ross’s fingerprints on it.

I see coimmigrant beat me to it, in a very humorous manner.

Mueller’s group did not file the charges so he still hasn’t broken their phony rule (more of a guideline actually). He is really spreading the fun around.
