Good point, Federal Indictments only have a 93% conviction rate. It's probably nothing to worry about.
Tee hee.
I'm not sure if if they can beat 90%+ twice.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.

I can't believe someone seriously came in this thread an unironically posted a federal indicrment meant nothing. That's pretty much thread shitting at this point

Surely Ty Cobb will be able to get Trump out of this.

Trump turns on the TV to see Manafort being taken out in handcuffs.
He quickly tweets out an announcement that he'll be firing Sessions.
Then he runs to the Oval Office and turns on the light, only to see Mueller sitting at his desk.
"Trying to stop me from filing charges against you? Did you think I'd show my hand if there was any way for you to stop me?
I did it thirty minutes ago."
Comey steps out of the curtains and slaps Trump in handcuffs.

Doesn't take much to rattle Trump's cage. Then he rattles everyone else's.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
So you're saying that Russia has infiltrated Mueller's team?

This is good news to hear though I assume it's foolish of me to hope this news somehow someway stops/scares congress from their focus of trying to ram their repeal bill before the deadline?

That's the Klyuev Group, the criminal conspiracy with heavy ties to Russian tax offices and law enforcement. They defrauded Western companies of their Russian assets and then engineered the death of lawyer Sergei Magnitsky when he tried to expose their money laundering setup.
A lot of money flowing into the US lobbying circuit to fight the Magnitsky Act has been traced to Klyuev but I can't recall any direct connection with Manafort or the Trump Campaign.
However, Manafort's finances have been murky (see the Ukranian 'black ledger' affair) so it's possible Mueller is drilling down to find such links.

Suddenly today Don Jr is also stopping his secret service detail that follows him everywhere he goes. Suspicious.

Source? All I know is that his Secret Service code name is 'Mountaineer'.

To be fair, though, not many federal defendants are as well-positioned to defend themselves as Manfort is.
And not many federal prosecutors are as able and have the same resources as Mueller. It runs both ways here.

What exactly is going to save him from having pretty much all his activities surveilled for three years?

What a coincidence
Comey slowly reaches his hand to his face, and starts to pull up. We see that James Comey was actually Obama wearing a mask all along!
Trump, in his custom-made handcuffs (made for tiny hands) starts to tremble in fear. He looks to Obama without meeting his eyes, and meekly says "What do you have on me? For the love of all that is holy, it's not the....."
Obama, chuckling lightly, finishes Trump's sentence. "...The Chaos Emeralds?? Haha...no no Donald....we have the Co Fee Fee Tape."

Thanks for the link! Not sure it's suspicious though; it follows reports that the Service is buckling under the workload and lack of budget - peeling off details to keep the principal protected makes sense.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
At this point, until there's actual indictments, or a "pee-pee" video released.. it's hard to get too excited anymore.
We've had so many "big moments" that haven't turned into much yet.. but damn I want this shit to happen.
