I think it is directly bribing the witnesses.

Former CIA analyst: Why Trump’s Team Was Easy Prey for Putin

https://www.politico.com/magazine/st...y-putin-215743

Pretty safe bet that one or more of the assholes on this list will be indicted next week by Mueller's grand jury. Which one(s)? Anyone's guess, but Manafort is probably numero uno on the list.

Little doubt in my mind that they've all been manipulated by the Ruskies, at the very least, and some colluded with them. Money corrupts. Money laundering is highly profitable and very easy to do in high end real estate. Going to be an interesting week. Right wingnut fake news outlets will be desperately trying to discredit Mueller. Trump may attempt to fire him. Let's hope Trump loses and democracy wins, but nothing is certain, especially with the current congress in power.

First indictments out today but sealed until Monday. W00T!

I'm guessing Manafort but who knows.

Unless CNN has screwed the pooch in epic fashion, this changes the game completely. You had to know something like this was coming; the sudden frenzy over the Steele dossier and the revival of the roundly debunked Uranium One story, two news events which I decline to believe were coincidental because I am not someone who bought an admission to Trump University, were pretty clear tells that bad news was coming from someone. (Note to any legitimate journalists who are pursuing the uranium story: you are refs who have been worked.) Now the stories to be pursued do not involve when Mueller and his people will move, but against whom they already have moved, and who might those people give up to save their own hides. This is now a crime story. That makes all the difference. The mist is beginning to clear across the Great Grimpen Mire.

Now CBS and NBC have independently confirmed that indictments are coming on Monday. What’s that, five now? Will be fun to watch. What will Trump do? He’s crazy, so anything might happen. Jennifer Rubin tweeting that Congress should make it clear to Trump that impeachment will start if Trump tries to impede this.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—A crowd estimated in the hundreds of thousands has gathered outside the office of Robert Mueller in eager anticipation of the special counsel’s first arrest in the Russia probe.

Minutes after news was leaked that charges had been filed, Americans from across the country descended on Mueller’s office to witness firsthand what many called the beginning of the end of the nightmare.

“I can’t believe this day has finally come,” Carol Foyler, who drove from North Carolina, said. “My husband is having surgery today, but I didn’t want to miss this.”

Although the gathering has been largely peaceful, isolated arguments have erupted over which member of Trump’s circle the attendees would like Mueller to arrest first.


A faction shouting “Don, Jr.” started pushing and shoving another group chanting “Jared” before police intervened.

One policeman said that law enforcement had been flabbergasted by the size of the crowd, which could reach a million. “We definitely didn’t see anything like this at the Inauguration,” he said.

Wouldn’t it be great if that little prick Donny Jr. was among the indictees?

My gut feel says it's Manafort, he has already been informed indictments are forthcoming (wonder if they can or did take away his passport), his real estate agent was interviewed last week, etc.

My beef is with smug never tell the truth Kushner. Whatever qualifies him to be a diplomat? Donny Jr. is dumber than his dad and probably least harmless of the Trump clan.

All true, but Donny Jr. is an immediate member of the Trump crime family, so it would be delicious seeing him made to walk the walk.
