On 1 March 1974, prosecutors charged 7 Nixon aides with a 2 year post-Watergate burglary conspiracy to obstruct justice, make false statements, commit perjury & defraud the U.S. The indictment narrative made clear Nixon was an unindicted coconspirator.

1st of March is this Friday

John Brennan (former CIA director) was on Ruth Maddow. He said he expects to see indictment(s) of Trump’s immediate family as Mueller’s final act, issued at the time of the final report

This is Trump at a speech for Governors before he left for the North Korea summit. It still blows my mind that the most powerful country in the world voted for this buffoon as its president.

Well trump admin asked russia on advice about dealing with North Korea
https://www.apnews.com/c5cdb9e49183456bb8371745017...

Things like, whats the direct flights like from Vietnam to Moscow?


Then there's
Rachel Maddow reports on Donald Trump's history of interactions with North Korea and how the interests of Russia seem to have taken precedence over those of the United States.

Must be a coincidence then that the plane of Sergey Viktorovich Lavrov, Foreign Minister of Russia, has landed in Vietnam ahead of Trump’s arrival.

Mueller Friday is a myth.

Manaforts lawyers have filed asking for leniency
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5750730-Pa...

It reads like it was written by Hannity for a fox news in depth piece.

Manaforts lawyers ask for leniency, noting he "accepted full responsibility" to FARA & $ crimes, but asserting "this case is not about murder, drug cartels, organized crime, the Madoff Ponzi scheme or the collapse of Enron"

“Mr. Manafort, who over the decades has served four U.S. presidents and has no prior criminal history, is presented to this Court by the government as a hardened criminal who “brazenly” violated the law and deserves no mercy.”

Manafort (who has not been sentenced yet and is in jail because a judge found him to have tampered with witnesses) says he “has been punished substantially.” Well I guess he had those assets seized.

Manafort’s team says that this case has “devastated” him financially. Except that a large part of the narrative in the Virginia trial is that Manafort committed crimes because work for his firm dried up. It also ignores the other evidence that he has around $60m hidden away in offshore accounts, Ukraine, Cyprus etc.

Manafort only engaged in bank fraud bc he was trying to last long enough to cash in on Donald Trump with the russians.


Basically his plea for leniency seems to be mentioning "No collusion" over and over again.
It reads more like a plea for a pardon again.

NBC News national security correspondent Ken Dilanian told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that Cohen has a plan to address his credibility issues during his highly anticipated testimony before lawmakers.

He will be bringing documents with him to the hearings that will support his testimony. These documents are apparently going to provide evidence of the sordid and “chilling” stories that Cohen is going to tell about Donald Trump’s life of crime.

This has to be sanctioned by Mueller and/or SDNY. Why now?

Swamp news.

Motherjones are reporting that trump personally encouraged a foreign official to back his donor's business deal, personally encouraged Qatari Govt to finance a nuclear power plant project pursued by a top Trump donor, who just happens to be a Mar-a-Lago member, who contributed $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee.

Good news.

The Trump administration can go ahead with a ban on the rapid-fire gun attachments used to carry out the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, a federal judge ruled late Monday, turning back one of the first legal challenges to the ban.

The decision by U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich in Washington rejected challenges to the ban on the rapid-fire attachment known as bump stocks weeks before it was scheduled to go into effect.

Friedrich rejected arguments that the rule was rushed through the administrative process, or that it was improperly issued by then acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker. She wrote that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was within its right to redefine ambiguous terms that the government had previously concluded constrained them to allow the devices.

here's the ruling

A positive thing, so well done Donald, but it will cost you votes.

I've a feeling it will continue being challenged too.

Am i reading this right, is this something positive that trump has done all on his own, or was the process started by someone else?

If this is all his work then it is a truly historic day as trump supporters (even if they don't actually support him) can now genuinely say he has done one good thing in the 2+ years since he has been in office. All hail trump!!

Wonder if he will be retweeting this endlessly though, as someone else alluded to, might not go down well with the NRA crowd..

Do we have an idea of when the final report will be issued?

Well done on him for getting this through. I think this will likely cost him more votes than it gains though....

Elsewhere it looks like he's "winning" the trade war with China.....
