Still not the indictment I’m hoping for.

Did that sound bitter? I don’t mean to sound bitter.

Does Paully flip or hold out for a ‘fat Nixon’ pardon…Meuller is definitely turning up the heat. Next Friday we’ll see if Manafort gets the icebox to ponder this dilemna.

My two cents.

R.I.P Anthony Bourdain, you’ll certainly be missed.

Ms. Mueller: We’re cleaning the garage this weekend!
Robert Mueller: Ugh. Do we have to?
Ms. Mueller: Unless you have something else really pressing.
Robert Mueller: Hmm.

Progress.

But not quite enough. I need a bit more - this is important, I get it, but I need more prominent names than what could be construed as bit players in the bigger picture. Sure, this could lead to larger fish. That’s fine, but this needs to get closer. Much closer.

IANAL, but I am digging “conspiracy to obstruct justice”. Because you generally don’t find yourself conspiring all by your lonesome.

Until the indictments finally hit the Orange Ruffian, I’m holding my breath…

He holds out. It’s the smarter move - he gets off the hook and then it’s Trump’s problem.
And as far as the State of NY who knows???

“Special counsel Robert Mueller secured a grand jury indictment of Konstantin Kilimnik, Paul Manafort’s longtime business deputy…"

“Manafort’s legal team responded to TPM’s request for comment by weeping inconsolably.”

An indictment for Lust Object, which I think would probably give the dotard an actual factual heart attack.

Which Lust Object? Ivanka or Vladimir?

Yeah, filing charges against Manafort’s Russian co-conspirator really makes Trump praise of Putin concerning the G7 summit look good, doesn’t it? LOL!
For a supposed witch-hunt hoax in Trump’s deluded mind, this investigation has sure found an awful lot of people with broomsticks and pointy hats.

Also we can now, in a court of law, put Speaker Ryan’s laughably ill-timed “no collusion, no collusion, there is no evidence of collusion” emphatically to bed.

In a court of law on US soil, it has been found that there is evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign staff and Russian intelligence. They have not yet found it proven, but they have found sufficient evidence to pursue criminal charges.

McCain today

“Vladimir Putin chose to make Russia unworthy of membership in the
G-8 by invading Ukraine and annexing Crimea. Nothing he has done since
then has changed that most obvious fact,” McCain said in a statement.
“Every day, Russian-led separatist forces are killing Ukrainians in the
Donbass. Every day, Putin’s forces are helping the Assad regime
slaughter the Syrian people. And every day, through assassinations,
cyber-attacks, and malign influence, Russia is assaulting democratic
institutions all over the world.”

“The President has inexplicably shown our adversaries the deference
and esteem that should be reserved for our closest allies,” he
continued. “Those nations that share our values and have sacrificed
alongside us for decades are being treated with contempt.”
“This is the antithesis of so-called ‘principled realism’ and a sure
path to diminishing America’s leadership in the world,” McCain
predicted.
