Mueller is a smart guy. I like that in a special counsel.

Like Josh said, revealing the Papadopoulos guilty plea screws up their whole “this has nothing to do with the campaign” narrative.

I fell into a burning ring of fire,
I went down, down, down as the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.

And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.

It’s pretty much official at this point:

Mueller is playing multi-dimensional chess.

Trump is playing Candyland.

With real candy.

The candy he was supposed to give to those kids.

Trick or treat!!

Brush as hard as you want, Trumpers, you still have lice. Orange lice.

Is anyone here brave enough to be watching Fox News or looking at Breitbart to see how they are covering this? Or are they still talking about the eight year old uranium company deal and who funded the (perfectly legal) opposition research in the Steele Dossier?

It’s quite remarkable that in the span of less than a year, a President barks out orders about whom should be (and not be) investigated and prosecuted by the authorities, and we now take that as a matter of course.

Trump and his cronies are way out of their league here. Mueller is going to play them all like a violin. They are seriously stupid. I mean, I can’t even understand the dumb here.

Has Kellyanne said anything yet? Waiting with baited breath! Why do I feel a Tammy Wynette song coming on, not about the “D” word, more about standing next to your man.

Played them like a fuckin’ fiddle. It was a ballsy move - Mueller’s team HAD to keep Pap’s arrest and confession an absolute secret. Which they did. And now Trump and the Trumpettes have to wonder what (or who) else Mueller might have in his back pocket.

He then echoed comments made by sources close to the White House early Monday that Manafort and his business associate Rick Gates — who was also named in the indictment — were “bad guys when they started. They were bad guys when they left. The indictment has nothing to do with any relationship with Russia.”

Trump said Lewandowski did “a great job” but “it’s time now for a different kind of a campaign.”

I thoroughly enjoyed this comment. Thank you.

It’s also a bullhorn message to the White House: We have got you surrounded.

I think the technical term is ‘unfathomable.’

Better Mueller playing their stupidity and near-deterministic predictability than Putin.

Clearly Team Tramp doesn’t understand how well engineered dominoes work. You can’t address the first one to fall and expect that to be that.

They’re going to be under a deluge of indictments and who’s cooperating on myriad fronts in the coming days.

Christmas is coming early but this is a Festivus for the Rest of Us!

He was quick to shift blame away from his former boss, claiming during an interview with Fox Business that there is a “problem with the FBI” because the agency didn’t notify the campaign that Manafort was under a FISA warrant “before coming to the Trump campaign.”

Stupid indeed.

Why would the FBI warn anyone that the person they are interested in is under investigation??? The whole point is to see who they interact with and why. LOL
