CNN just said he will turn himself into the Washington Field Office of the FBI, I work pretty close to there. So tempting to walk over and watch him go in.
Do the charges have to be related to the campaign? Is it possible that these charges are related to Manafort's sketchy business dealings in general, and doesn't necessarily mean anything re: the trump campaign?
I'm wondering how excited we should be. I know that any charges or arrest are significant, but I'm trying to figure out how significant this one is in terms of trump.
Virginians - Gillespie has professional relationship with Manafort. Seeing lots of tweets that Northam’s final pitch should be pretty easy now but that makes me even more nervous about hacking.

I expect the charges to have nothing to do with the campaign (right now). Still, your campaign chair being arrested on laundering money for the Russians is not a good look, especially when you are guilty of the same.
It's a good day to be stuck at home dealing with the accounting aftermath of our big fundraiser this weekend. At least I will have something to entertain me while I work on my spreadsheets and quickbooks.
This is good. I’m also not worried about a 45 pardon because he doesn’t care about him. He’ll save the pardons for when Ivanka begs him to use it on Kush and Don jr.

georgeglass , I feel you a bit. My family lived across the street from Manafort for many years, but I was too young to have any memory. We moved away when I was 11. But, thanks to FB, I am connected to a lot of my childhood friends who grew up with his daughters, playing at his house, etc., and seeing this unfold through their perspective is fascinating.
Also, bowies , Northam was in my town yesterday and the gathering was practically electrified due to what might go down this morning. No one was really talking about it but you could tell everyone was feeling it. Also, check Northam's awesome socks (stole this pic from our local Dems FB group-one of the other attendees posted it).
