Monday was quite the news day. Mueller indicted Paul Manafort, Richard Gates, a Manafort business partner, and George Papadopoulos. The latter two men are completely unknown to most Americans, very minor characters in this bit of political theater, akin to the fairy servants of A Midsummer NIght's Dream. After nearly a year, this is Mueller's big play? The results of a multi-millions dollar "investigation" (witch hunt)? Sixteen hardcore Democrat lawyers on his staff and this is it? A big nothing that is essentially, as Andrew McCarthy wrote yesterday, "...not much there, a boon to Trump."
This is most likely just an overture. Mueller and his gang of lefty thug lawyers play hardball and will use every trick in their bag to get these men to betray others. But what if there is nothing to betray? What if the only crooks are among the Democrat left?
It seems like Mueller perhaps rushed his big splash onto the stage. As of last Saturday, Manafort had no inkling he was about to be indicted. Papadopoulos had no heads up. His lawyer was not even available to him yesterday morning. This is unusual in federal non-violent crimes indictments. Was Mueller perhaps feeling the heat from all that has been revealed about his part in the Uranium One scandal and pal Comey's knowledge of the Clinton-commissioned "dossier"?
The editorial board of the Wall Street Journal has called for him to resign. There have in fact been numerous calls for him to resign given his and Comey's role in overseeing the Uranium One pay-to-play scheme. Seems like he is feeling some heat. As legal analysts (real ones, not CNN's Jeffrey Toobin) have weighed in all day, these indictments are a big load of nothing, certainly nothing related to any alleged Trump/Russia collusion. Clearly Mueller has found little or nothing on that score.

I think that Mueller would not have indited anyone until 2 weeks before the 2018 elections. However, there is a chance he will be fired or indited himself so he changed the agenda hoping it will damage Trump enough or get some one to spill the beans if there is anything of course. He knows his time has come too and his credibility is sinking fast.
Can Mueller grant “immunity” to the Demoperps? or does that have to come from the DoJ?
If you expect Mueller, the FBI, and the Congress to do the right and honorable thing you are a damn fool. The Deep State intends to destroy Donald Trump by whatever means necessary.
Wake up!!
Maybe the law school should target former Marines considering becoming lawyers by promising to liberate them from the code of ethics they learned while in the Marine Corps.
Where is the “evidence” of collusion with Russia by Trump and his campaign?
I see an editorial cartoon of the Mighty Mueller. Panel one he swings his mighty bat and fouls off the Manafort indictments. Panel two, he swings and misses at the Trump pitch, and panel three the Might Mueller has struck out when the Uranium One pitch exposes him.
There is no joy in Demville, as the Mighty Mueller has struck out.
... people make errors in their haste. It is entirely possible that they overlooked that.
I have some room in my own kabuki theater, if you are interested.
Manafort was candidate Trump’s campaign manager for 3 months. Given that short period, Manafort working with the FBI cannot manufacturer much evidence.
Did I say, “manufacturers?”
Sorry.

IMHO Mueller is at a crossroads. He can either do the right thing and pursue this investigation to a sound legal conclusion or he can use it to cover up the Posdesta’s involvement and of course the Clinton’s. The other possibility is he just plods along investigating the Trump/Russia collusion and hope to affect the elections. I just do not trust Mueller and believe he is part of the swamp.
If true they will shut this investigation down rather quickly unless the deep state traitors think they can control the courts and juries. They may sacrifice one liberal but then it will end quickly and the moon bat left will go insane.
