First Charges Filed in Mueller Investigation

I'm pretty sure that there are double jeopardy problems with the Manhattan DA's indictments. They seem to relate to the same act as the federal charges and the same loan(s).

Yeah I’ve read that as well. It sounds like he Manhattan DA did a poor job on that set of indictments. Something like 9 of the 16 are potentially for the same thing he was charged in federal for.
 
Rick Gates is still giving sworn testimony. Mueller, SDNY, NYC and NYS don't need Manafort.

Half of the American electorate now agree with President Trump about special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia collusion investigation.

The results from a USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll released Monday show 50 percent of registered voters agree with Trump's claim that he is the target of a "witch hunt" and that he has been subject to more investigations than his predecessors due to politics.

The poll, which has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points, showed a stark partisan divide, with 86 Republicans agreeing Trump is the victim of a "witch hunt." Among Democrats, the number was significantly lower, 14 percent, but among independents 54 percent agreed, while 42 percent did not.
 
right, so rubes who only believe Trump believe it's a witch hunt. rational people don't.
 
For anyone looking to cut through the fog of bullshit, I highly recommend this short 20 minute podcast from Lawfare.

Mueller’s words from each of the 7 major indictments sans extraneous legalese.


The Lawfare Podcast Shorts: ‘Speaking Indictments’ by Robert S. Mueller III

It’s Robert Mueller as you’ve never heard him before.

We have something special for you on the podcast today. Something very different.

The Mueller report is coming. We all know that. We don’t know what’s going to be in it. We don't know when its showing up.

But Bob Mueller has already told a remarkable story. He’s told it scattered through different court filings in a variety of cases, indictments, plea agreements, stipulations of fact. We decided to distill it, to organize it, to put it all in one place, to tell the story of the Russia investigation orally, to let a remarkable group of speakers read the speaking indictments that Mueller has issued.

So here’s the story of the Russia conspiracy, distilled to a brief audiobook in seven chapters. What you’re about to hear is all taken nearly verbatim from actual Bob Mueller filings. We’ve cut a lot, moved stuff around, and changed a few words here and there to make it sound more like a narrative. We have changed the meaning not at all.
