Poor Eric. He's the Tiffany Trump of this whole thing. Everyone is anxious to see Cheeto Jr and Jarvanka arrested and nobody spares a thought for the poor lunkhead. Wouldn't it be funny if he was more complicit than either of them?
You guys, the lawyer says (paraphrasing) Manafort was only trying to solidify relations with the our friends overseas and further our democracy. The government has clearly pointed out that IQ45 et al are innocent of collusion.
LOFL. Twirling and spinning continues.
Ladies and gents, we've found our new source of alternative energy. There's enough spinning to power every city in the US!
Can we talk about how fast Mueller works. He was appointed in May and they got Papa in July. That is sooo fast while all the analysts were saying it’ll take months for Mueller to even put together a team. It also leads me to think the FBI was already tracking Papa and they could have filled Mueller in when he joined.
I'm so happy to be sharing this all real time with my internet friends!!
Me too. I’m surrounded by non-Americans who are just living their lives without the knowledge that wonderful things are happening!!
You're in HK or otherwise Asia? I saw that someone in Tokyo posted during the press conference that Japan was watching. So you might not be as alone as you thought. Someone really ought to open a "politics" bar. Like a sports bar, only politics.

Of course the FBI had all this underway. Which is why Comey was canned.
Are their assets going to be frozen at some point or does that only happen in th movies?
For the cash portion I think the government can request the funds be verified so they can be sure they aren't coming from laundered funds. If they put up other assets (like a home) and a percentage I don't know how that works even if it was likely purchased with laundered funds.

It says in the papers that he was interviewed in January and February, and that after the February interview, he deleted and destroyed evidence. So yeah, they were tracking him for a long time.
My guess --- if the wire thing is true, I suspect he was wearing it and ordered to call up people and ask them if they've been contacted by the FBI, if they've heard anything, are they nervous, making attempts to get stories straight, etc. I don't think he was calling up Paul Manafort and asking him about his money laundering or anyone smart enough to suspect wires. He was probably chatting up other errand boys, looking for small lies and evidence destruction, that the FBI could use to flip them.

My guess just on what little I've read of the George P stuff is that whoever his direct supervisors were and who he emailed with, the FBI already knows because they clearly have his emails. He was probably calling other people like himself involved to try and expand the web throughout the entire group to get a full picture and more people to use on the big fish.
Has this question already been answered? Why hasn't the other indictment been unsealed? It seems most people are betting its subject is Flynn?
Because Mueller's playing this like a Stradivarius violin. There's a method to his madness and if the George P bombshell is any indication, he's got this on lock.
Also it appears there could be up to 5 sealed indictments right now. One more for Manafort/Gates (the "Indictment A" noted earlier) plus four sealed for different defendants that was screen-shotted a few pages ago.

Don't forget we're apparently dealing with the universe's stupidest criminals, so that makes Meuller's job easier.
Also usually to get your deal finalized you have to do more than just give your own testimony. At this point I'd be surprised if wasn't wearing a wire and calling up Trump campaign/admin people.
Guys, my brain can't even handle all of this. I had 3 2-hour meetings today and have been catching up in between and I'm essentially a squirrel hopped up on speed running on the wheel.
This is way back, so I apologize I didn't get a chance to quote it when I saw it on the Arctic stuff. Russia is definitely trying to take over the Arctic- it was on 60 minutes a few months back. www.cbsnews.com/videos/the-arctic-frontier-2/
Quick reminder that the Mercers financed Kellyanne’s polling firm, the one Pence used as Indiana governor.
I'm going to need someone to update the flow chart with all the connections between these fools for me. I can't keep up
I remember posting this shortly after the election thinking what an amazing tool to see all the connections. At the time, I just loved the idea of information being visually represented, but now...seems reasonable that journalists and FBI could use it.

This would be everything, especially if the tapes are ever leaked or otherwise released to the public. *rubs hands gleefully*

RE: the indictment A and B stuff. I didn't know this but apparently they're ordered by importance of the defendants? So if B is Manafort/Gates then A has to be a higher profile criminal. This person thinks Trump. Maybe the later indictments are for Kushner and Trump Jr.?
