- Start date
Shock, horror. Now time to bunker in and get ready for the shit storm.
Hannity and Co will be releasing thier stories round about now.
That’s a hell of a scalp. If they’ve got concrete criminal charges to pin on him, he’s should have a lot of inner knowledge to loosen the noose.

Lock him up
Fox and Friends still talking about Hillary according to Twitter

So? 
It feels very necessary to take a step back and take in just how daft and utterly mad the last ten months have been. We're not even a year in and already close confidantes of Trump's are indicted.
Trump doesn’t know Manafort. He might have played a small role in his campaign but Trump doesn’t know what he did, in fact he didn’t do anything and Trump didnt authorise his hiring. They never met.
- Times reports business associate Rick Gates also told to surrender (Guardian)
Trump probably doesn't know about Manafort yet as Fox and Friends never mentioned it.
"Manafort? Who's he? Never knew him!"
"Nobody knows more about Russian collusion than me!"
I'll take credit for the big name
NBC reporting Manafort’s charges were likely tax related and that Mueller may have been dealing with a statute of limitations issue.
Are we all going to do this?
I would have been impressed if someone had mentioned the other fella.
It's a tried and tested method on redcafe
Indictment released: Mainly deals with conspiracy and financial crimes.
Disappointing. Trump lives to tweet another day
Looks like they got that wrong.
Please tell me this is shopped
FYI Gates was also heavily involved in the Trump campaign, including after Manafort left
These sound like very serious charges, no?
Edit: surely they have Flynn on some of these exact same charges too. Flipped him already?
Long story short: Mueller is alleging Manafort basically laundered millions from the Russians and is attempting to flip him to testify against Trump.
So massive then. Fair play Mueller.
Yeah, you have to remember that in the US, it is a federal crime not to disclose ANY money you have in foreign bank accounts, under the FBAR and FATCA rules.
Two prong attack, no?
Manafort/Gates laundering etc
Flynn TBD likely conspiracy?

I think Mueller will keep going after the lower hanging fruit until he flips at least one of them to testify against Trump.
I'd imagine Kremlin Mike Flynn will be next due to his work with the Turkish government.
I said the other day it'll be Manafort. Most of the charges (or even all?) are from pre-2016. Collusion?
(I've been out all morning and still out now so haven't seen the reports in full. Will post later when I get an opportunity.)
The Rick Gates indictment is the surprise announcement. Never saw anyone in the media coverage mention him as a possible suspect.
I'm sure it's all interconnected but yes, those are probably the initial pressure points. Surely more to come with Carter Page and others from the dossier
Sure but you also said
And that's what I'd replied to when I said "let's talk on Monday".
