First Charges Filed in Mueller Investigation

I like how all of Trump's friends and allies just concede that Trump has done something bad enough to require protection from people flipping on him.

Look forward to Trump's obligatory Twitter tantrum today.

Sidenote: I cannot wait until Mueller confirms that the dossier was largely accurate.

Of course not. Including rube members of Congress like Jim Jordan, Nunes, Goodlatte, Gaetz and the rest of those clowns.

As a result, 60% of the country should give zero fucks about anything GOP party leadership says for enabling their deplorable behavior. Their credibility is shot.

They don't have to now, the DOJ caved.

DOJ expected to deliver Comey memos to Congress

The decision appears likely to avert a standoff between top House Republicans and Rosenstein, who oversees Mueller's probe. Trump allies in Congress have lashed out at Rosenstein for what they've described as stonewalling of their requests for sensitive documents related to the probe, as well as the FBI's 2016 investigation of Hillary Clinton's private email server.

Trump himself has embraced the Judiciary Committee's fight in recent weeks, lashing out at his own Justice Department for failing to more rapidly comply with the committee's requests for unredacted files. The pushback has raised fears among Democrats and DOJ defenders that Trump is seizing on the document drama as a pretext for removing Rosenstein and exerting more influence over Mueller's investigation.

Nunes gonna be on Fox News tonight.
 
These guys are such clowns. Karma is going to catch up to them when the Democrats control the House and start investigating how Nunes et al. used their oversight powers to obstruct an investigation.
 
Comey’s memos leaked. I really think Dems leaked them because they’re uhhhh not great for Trump and Priebus.
 
oh man, that Jay Goldberg interview is...well...gold! Its a must watch.
 
[h=1]Manafort Suspected of Serving as ‘Back Channel’ to Russia, DOJ Says[/h]


Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s interest in former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort stemmed in part from his suspected role as a “back channel” between the campaign and Russians intent on meddling in the election, a Justice Department lawyer told a judge.

The disclosure by U.S. prosecutors came Thursday during a hearing on whether Mueller exceeded his authority in indicting Manafort on charges of laundering millions of dollars while acting as an unregistered agent of the Ukrainian government. Manafort’s lawyers say those alleged crimes have nothing to do with Mueller’s central mission -- to determine whether anyone in the Trump campaign had links to the Russian government.

Defense attorney Kevin Downing argued anew to U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in Washington that even Mueller’s appointment order permitting him to probe “any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation” wouldn’t cover the political consulting work that Manafort did in Ukraine for a decade.

But Justice Department attorney Michael Dreeben said prosecutors were justified in investigating Manafort because he had served as Trump’s campaign chairman.

“He had long-standing ties to Russia-backed politicians,” Dreeben told Jackson. “Did they provide back channels to Russia? Investigators will naturally look at those things.”
