So when does it all come tumbling down? Feels like I've been waiting for decades.

Sticking point appears to have been protection for his family.  So at least he gives a shit about his daughters, if not his wife.

I can't imagine why Manafort's family would need protection though...

There's that polonium flu that's going around.

Watergate took 2.5 years.


I am feeling patient, because I am seeing results.

A nice novichuk sandwich.

Also, remember, I started talking about this here and on FB a lot sooner than most.  So for us it has been even longer.

from the article

Outside court, Manafort attorney Kevin Downing said it was a "tough day" for his client, "but he's accepted responsibility, and he wanted to make sure that his family was able to remain safe and live a good life."

I feel like he has put his family in danger.  Since testifying against organized crime tends to get your family killed.  Admittedly Trump is pretty disorganized. Putin seems quite ready to clean up loose ends though.

I would assume that the main thing keeping Manafort's family from waking up at the bottom of a lake somewhere is that the damage is more or less already done. Manafort is cooperating, but he's already given them a confession and who knows how many statements about how many things, and killing them off now would just be too obvious (even if the Russians haven't been exactly subtle in the past). But I don't know anything really.

As for why Mueller is taking so long, beyond being incredibly meticulous and digging up 3 or 4 corroborating stories for every single point, he has to work around deeply entrenched interests that have an existential interest in his being very careful not to accidentally implicate the entire GOP as the complete fraudulent Russian front that it has become. I'd like to believe he is working on doing that very thing, but I kind of doubt he wants to be that dead. Plus as much as I wish the Republicans would just go away forever, I'm not sure the republic could actually survive such a thing. Also, if Mueller went after Trump right now, even though he probably has more than enough evidence for any kind of sane court to do so, I'm pretty sure he'd immediately get dismissed as some kind of quack, seeing as how Congress is under the absolute control of most corrupt party in our history. The court he has to convince is not sane in the slightest, and is not subject to the usual rules of logic and evidence. He's probably hoping for the Democrats to take control of the House before he makes any big moves, because then he'd have at least a chance of a relatively fair hearing.

Dammit i came here to post that

    "He knows he has an unusual penis," Daniels writes. "It has a huge mushroom head. Like a toadstool...

She forgot to mention the yeti pubes are yellow.

The Generalissimo told me so.

Also Putin is feeding Trump "deep state" bullshit

[Cain]

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has either been fired or quit, reports are not clear yet.

Either way, it's going to be a bumpy Monday.

[Cain]

Nunes previously said that Rosenstein wouldn't be fired before the Kavanaugh hearings, as the media shitstorm over his firing would make it that much harder to get him confirmed.

However, I'm thinking that with the allegations against Kavanaugh that have come out - including Avenatti's new client and the Jane Mayer/Ronan Farrow article (which the White House was aware of before publishing) - Kavanaugh is seen as tainted goods, and since his confirmation is in doubt, better to get rid of Rosenstein now and quash the Russia investigation by putting someone else in charge of it.  If you can't stack the Supreme Court in your favour, kill the investigation instead.  The exchange - one extremely tainted candidate for one "rogue" Deputy AG - probably looks good to Trump.

[Cain]

....Or not.  Now it seems to be swirling around that Rosenstein isn't being fired or quitting at all.  Get your act together, media.
