Comey and Mueller are best butt buddies. That’s why I lol’ed. Like to see it though.
That means we all will know within the hour!
What’s terrifying is that Mueller just keeps going even after tied to Uranium One scandal. Louis Gohmert said both Mueller and Rosenstein approved deal.
Unless your are the NYT or WaPo...
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.
Manafort
He used Fedex when he could have used the U.S. Mail service.

I expect Mueller to indict Manafort here shortly just to distract everyone
It appears Robert Mueller is ignoring the fact that Hillary is involved and will still go after President Trump.
DJT with a quick pardon will ice the BS once and for all.
After Rush is off the air on a Friday... surprise surprise Friday dump...
“Who’s it gonna be? Bets?”
One can bet that it will be someone associated with the Trump campaign and if it is, it will come under the heading of wtf.
These scu*bags are really playing it to the hilt, everything based on a bogus premise.
This is truly now a banana republic, being subverted by punks who are hell-bent on an overthrow of a duly elected government.
It’s absolutely amazing.
IMHO
Whoever it will be they want it for Monday so it can stay in the news cycle all week.
So it won’t be pretty.
Comey would leak it to a Columbia professor with instructions to pass it along to the press and claim it is right to do so.
fake photo.....at 6’ 7”, Comey would be towering over Obama
President Trump.
LOL!
