To answer the fly on the wall question posed earlier, I will Mueller. His team seems to be more tight lipped. Maybe it would give me some confidence in where all this was going.
I am sure word will get out about how #45 is responding to all of this.
Semi-related....can Sarah H Sanders be charged with anything for lying to the public? Obstruction of justice?
She's going to be branded Goebbels even if she never gets more than a traffic ticket.
So Clovis isn't even a scientist and they are trying to give him this role. Maybe I am too tin foil hat but I would be worried to see a Russian plant in such a position that allows him to potentially have any responsibility over food safety and laws that govern farming, agriculture, forestry, and food.

Great point! His confirmation hearings (if he doesn't withdraw) will be very interesting!!

I imagine that someone *could* make a case for why she should be charged with obstruction or something. Like if she's exchanging talking points with Jared over email and discussing how to lie to the public, that would arguably be considered wire fraud. So sure, I'm sure she's guilty of something. The question is whether, given all the shit that Mueller is facing, going after her is a good use of resources and time. Probably not. It's a harder case to make, and I think it could undermine his credibility, as it just looks too political.
He's in a race against the clock, and the priority needs to lie with addressing Russian interference, not cracking down on political spin gone too far.

Woot, caught up on all 22 pages! Mondays I have a standing volunteer appointment at DD's school and her teacher and I were gleefully exchanging giggles and snickers this morning as I tried to keep up with the alerts on my phone.
Definitely Mueller’s office. It would be so delicious to know everything. I already know the White House occupants are shitting themselves, though it would be really fun to watch them. I’m sure they all feel like they can’t trust anyone. I bet it’s all shifty eyes and nods, very quiet.
I literally heard 3 days ago "don't blame me. I didn't vote for trump. I voted for Stein" yeah, I'm blaming you motherfucker
An analyst on CNN is saying Papa couldn’t be wired and talking to people who are “represented”. If they are not represented, that would be ok. Does represented mean having a lawyer from July- Oct?
I am watching Chris Hayes. He's recapping everything. It is taking forever. I suppose there are probably people out there that didn't just blow a work day transfixed by the internet, so I get it, but I just want to get to Carter Page.
MSNBC runs a clip of Chris Hayes questioning Carter Page as a promo for the entire channel. And he's like, "sure, let's do that again, and let's do it on the same day my friends were indicted for the same crimes I committed!"
3. Mifsud and Papadopoulos are friends on Facebook
I DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also remember how the papers said that Papadopolous deleted his facebook account after his FBI interview in February, and then created a new one? HE ADDED THIS GUY AFTER TALKING TO THE FBI.
In discussing the details of a potential bond agreement, Andres said that the government had a “difficult time” determining the assets of both Manafort and Gates. He said their net worth estimates “varied significantly” depending on the documents being looked at, with the estimates for Manafort’s net worth spanning between $20 million and $100 million, and for Gates $2 million and $30 million.

I don't understand how anyone could say this with a straight face
