GMTA. I think there have been a fair number of us that for some time now have been saying Manafort is going to be the fall guy. Mueller has to indict someone to justify the existence of his being the special prosecutor.

That Manafort will (likely) be the target of the indictment isn't a surprise. The timing is suspicious, of course.

Speculation is rampant from him being investigated to resigning because he is a witness in an obstruction case.

At least we haven’t heard he just wanted to spend time with his family

CNN says whoever got indicted will find out Sunday through their lawyer..and also implied very strongly CNN knows who it is....but won’t release the names yet

How CNN knows all this is beyond me

The discovery phase would blow this whole thing wide open.

You're thinking about civil litigation. Discovery in federal criminal cases is extremely limited.

This whole thing is shaping up to be the biggest scandal in my lifetime...and I lived thru Watergate.

Me too. Have you noticed that every time we turn around the democrats have caused another scandal these days and usually around the Clintons.

We must put an end to the Clinton crime family once and for all.


So much for recusal :(

I've been saying for weeks that Donald Trump sure doesn't act like someone who has any worries about himself or a family member in legal trouble.

Meanwhile, it seems like the entire Democrat Party is looking more deranged by the day.

Read into that whatever you want!

Does anybody thing it odd that only CNN is reporting this.

CNN is the favored media organ of the swamp. If it is true, it was likely given to them, not ferreted out by independent investigative reporting.

Of course CNN knows..the guess as to WHO it is depends on how CNN Commies look, like they are going to explode with happiness or they look constipated

BTW: It’s going to be Manafort to detract from Uranium One. Mueller had this in his pocket ready to go for awhile now. Uranium One got too “hot” in the media for them so this is their distraction.

Anyone want to bet I’m wrong? This was all about changing the news cycle and trying to turn the tables back on President Trump.


Nope, I want in on your pool as I agree 100% ;)

They are definitely going to try to change the news cycle—just in time for the Sunday morning propaganda shows to feed the cycle till Manafort is charged next week.

Since about the time a SWAT team can kick in your door at 2 am with a no knock warrant over a supposed paperwork crime.

Terrorism doesn't work if the citizens aren't afraid of the terrorists.

I’ve speculated here that Manafort may be shielded from prosecution on many charges simply because the process of securing a FISA warrant and conducting such questionable surveillance against him might compromise any criminal case.

How does a Federal prosecutor prevent a witness in his case from speaking freely to anyone that witness damn well pleases?


Easy.

Mr. Judge/Congressman, “Their testimony many jeopardize my criminal investigation”.

Therefore, it would not be appropriate for them to disclose any information before my case is completed”.

Back when the Awan dude was first arrested, someone here on FreeRepublic posted an admittedly unverified rumor that a sealed indictment against a sitting member of Congress had already been handed up by a Federal grand jury.

Hey, what if it's Foam Boi?
