Manafort?

On one hand, it's true he is ruining lives every second he breathes.
But on the other, his constant attention seeking was making me unproductive. I hate knowing I've missed out on a lot of sleep or pursuing other activities because I was following so many GAF threads were Trump said this or Trump said that.
Politics affects our lives but it's also important we look after our own first or else no one will gain the power to seriously challenge him because we're too busy reading his damn tweets.

This is important stuff, weird how we arent supposed to talk about it.
Sort of makes you ask yourself, "why am I even here?"
Save us!

Manafort which will lead to Podesta. It's been obvious for a while.

Dana boente resigned as well
He is the DA in the district where the jury was
That indicates either he was stabbed in the back (good for trump) or if indictments came, it was to clear the the decks for them (bad for trump). It's the latter.

It shouldn't. The article is much more focus on the investigation of a famous person and it's criminal proceedings than anything political.
Now if the posts here start turning this into a political discussion then yeah, it'll probably get locked then.

Agreed. It has been very refreshing.
I'm not sure this falls under politics, though, so it should be fine.

Back on topic
The sober voices on twitter speculate than an indictment may be a tool to make progress because the investigation is striking a wall. They don't think this is the end game. For example if they think manafort or others are not cooperating they may do this to focus minds. In other words it would be wise not to think Monday brings a cast of characters in leg irons. It is probably just one or two, and probably to serve a greater goal.
Also
They are critical of the CNN report which is very thin, and wonder what the purpose of leaking it to CNN might be, if the leak comes from the defense.
An almost more amusing bit of news is the dossier funding was kicked off by a conservative newspaper, the free beacon. Making the whole dnc dossier russia story trump was trying to float rather a non event.

It's gotta be Manafort at a bare minimum. And I can't see Mueller going after anyone in Trump's family yet unless he already has them dead to rights.

I think Kushner is in trouble. But it'll be interesting to see what kind of charges and at what level i.e. state/federal.
Holy shit. I just turned on Fox News. One dude starts blaming the media about the dossier. Then a lady says Muller should recuse himself and runs down the whole uranium conspiracy without blinking. The anchor breaks the news and says we wont speculate. Ends the segment.
The look on their faces. I almost died laughing.

Don't retreat to the safety of the it's happening bunker just yet. My prediction is that very little comes of this.. I'd be surprised if they even get Manafort let alone Flynn or Podesta. But we'll see. (This prediction isn't based on much, but Trump seems weasel his way out of almost everything almost slick willie style.)
Perfect timing. They been lookin like they could use a little freedom, lately.
