I was going to be on ABC this morning. Instead, Rudy showed up and made several damning admissions about his client's actions.

One possible explanation for why we're seeing just the Peter Strzok 302 and not the original one he cites is that it's the only one that makes Flynn look good. 

Assuming the US can find enough assets to make Paul Manafort forfeit, through October 1, the Mueller investigation had brought in $21 million net to the US treasury.

In an IG Report issued in conjunction with the never-ending investigation into the texts Peter Strzok and Lisa Page sent each other, the FBI admitted that after two attempts to fix incomplete retention of texts, they still miss 10% of texts sent and received.

The government is going to fairly serious lengths to make sure that Joshua Schulte can't leak any of the classified information they share with him as part of discovery.

As you likely know by now, Trump fixer Michael Cohen is getting sentenced this morning. In fact, the proceeding is starting as I write this post, so I am going to get it up so that there is an appropriate place to discuss the events. There…

Back in November, I argued that Roger Stone's claims to be innocent of the GRU's hacks on DNC targets might not hold up given that GRU hacked the DNC analytics hosted on AWS in September. Information the DNC lawsuit against Trump, Stone, and others shows that at least some of that hack did post-date a Stone conversation about analytics.

SDNY's prosecutors noted something in yesterday's Cohen filing that will probably become increasingly problematic for Individual-1: because Trump and his fixer had a run-in with the FEC in 2013 -- from which they were saved by their future campaign lawyer Don McGahn -- they can't claim to be ignorant about campaign finance law.

While it's unclear whether Mueller was also stalling, the details offered in Mueller's plea beach motion seem to suggest that Paul Manafort used his plea just to stall for time.
