Any bets on if/how many indictments we will see from Mueller on Wednesday?

I fear he'll be fired first thing Wednesday morning, especially if the Republicans maintain control of the House and Senate. I have never been so afraid of an election before. Two years ago, I had some hope. Now, I just have fear.

Ditto, darlin'.*  I don't ever want to have that sick feeling again, the collective feeling we all got when we woke up "that" Wed morning to discover our nation had elected Trump.

I feel sick over this. If the GOP wins then it is sending a clear message to Trump and all of them they they can do whatever and suffer no repercussions. There will be no pretense of not being racist or sexists or even law abiding if there isn't a blue wave. There will be nothing to stop him. Nothing to stop any of them.

*Add snark filter* Oh, thanks Jeff.  A snowball's chance in hell that this will pass, but nice gesture.

He has nothing to lose as he is a lame duckling.  I'm thinking he is eyeing higher office as a Republican alternative to Trump

Yes, both true.  But he has made concerned noises and been in a position to make a REAL difference in the past and didn't come through.  He's making concerned noises again, about something that has a minimal chance of passing.  He could have also made a big deal about it long before the midterms.

Oh, poor Jerome! Do you know how to avoid really expensive legal bills, getting dragged out of your house in handcuffs, having your family destroyed, and going to prison?

Don't break the law!!!! Then you won't get indicted!!!

And, asking your viewers to send money via PayPal for your legal defense? Seriously? Are you Jill Rodrigues?

Things are still steadily moving along.

In the comments, somebody points out that Friday will be the 666th day that the presidunce is in office. Now wouldn't it be ironic if the start of the fall of the presiduncy is announced by indictments of his close friends and family members on that particular day? Could that be why he (and Pence!) didn't go to Arlington yesterday? Emergency meetings?

Don Jr? I only know him in the most mind and inappropriate fashion.  He got covfefe a few times, but just because he has my name and my DNA it does not mean he is related!!!!

Hey, I gave over heading the company to junior and... and... what's his name again? Oh, Eric. Right. Well, I have nothing to do with it anymore. I don't know anything about it. If there's any wrongdoing, and I'm not saying there is, because there isn't, my company is being lead by them, and a good job they're doing too. It's still making a lot of money. I know, because I've been getting a lot of money lately. But I have nothing to do with it. I know nothing about it. You'll have to ask junior, or... Evan? Eli? You know, the other one. Oh, it's not about the company? It's about the meeting? What meeting? I have lots of meetings. Lots of meetings. Yuge amount of meetings, yes. Which meeting, you say? June 2016? Well that's a long time ago, but I don't know anything about that. I wasn't there. I live there, yes, but I wasn't in the room where it happened. I was upstairs waiting for them to repor... eh, I wasn't even at home that day. Never was. Everybody knows that. So it has nothing to do with me.

An arrest has been made. He may, or may not be connected to the Mueller investigation.

Russian accused of online fraud and wanted by the United States arrested in Bulgaria

Quote

A Russian citizen accused of online fraud involving millions of dollars has been arrested in Varna, Bulgaria, on a warrant issued by the United States and is awaiting extradition proceedings, according to a statement by the Varna District Court issued Thursday.

A US Justice Department spokeswoman declined to comment on the arrest.

"As a matter of longstanding policy, the US Department of Justice generally does not comment on extradition-related matters until a defendant is in the United States. There is nothing public at this time," US Justice Department spokeswoman Nicole Navas Oxman told CNN.

The Russian citizen, named by the court as 38-year-old Alexander Zh., with the last name abbreviated, has been accused of electronic fraud and a conspiracy to commit computer fraud which resulted in damages of at least $7 million.

The defendant and his accomplices are accused of tricking advertisers into making payments for fake online traffic to their websites and ads, which was generated by software that they created to resemble real users browsing the internet.

They are accused by US authorities of having maintained a computer network with servers in Dallas, Texas.

According to the arrest warrant issued by the US District Court for the eastern district of New York, the crimes were committed between September 2014 and December 2016.

The Varna District Court found "the most appropriate measure of detention against the Russian citizen as 'provisional detention' until the beginning of the actual extradition proceedings," according to a statement by the court.

Bulgarian authorities have conducted searches at Alexander Zh.'s home to collect evidence for prosecution in the United States, the court said.

If found guilty, he faces up to 20 years in prison in the US, a fine or both. His actions are also punishable under Bulgarian law, the court said.

Alexander Zh. told the court that he has been in Bulgaria for 8 years and has been living there permanently during the last four. He has a Bulgarian ID card and his own home in Varna.

Russia's Consular General in Varna, Vladimir Klimanov, told Russian state news agency TASS on Friday that Russian authorities learned about Alexander Zh.'s arrest from his wife. "We haven't received any official information. Under the circumstances, the Consulate General will take all the necessary measures," he said.

80 hours of discussions with prosecutors, instead of 50.
And allegedly payoffs for 8 separate abortions and non-disclosures (although I don't know how much stock to put into that particular rumor).

Mr Cohen comes to Washington

Quote

SPOTTED: Michael Cohen, on the train from Washington DC to New York city last night. President Trump’s former lawyer was returning home after a day trip to the nation’s capital. If he thought he could slip in and out un-noticed, he was mistaken. ABC News put up a brief story online, saying he was almost certainly there to meet Robert Mueller, the Special Counsel investigating the Trump campaign and Russia.

This was the purpose of the visit – if not Mueller, then Mueller’s staff – though he was already on his way home by the time the ABC piece ran. No one could say what, specifically, he was talking to Mueller about – however, he brought his own lawyer along for the meeting. Was this the signing of the immunity agreement that the American media has long speculated could help bring down his old boss? Cockburn can’t say, though he does know that even before Mr Cohen came to Washington, he had racked up 80 hours of discussions with various prosecutors (more than the 50 hours that has been widely reported). Clearly he has a lot to get off his chest.

So the whiff of panic comes from the President’s Android phone when he tweets about the man he once trusted (allegedly) to do his dirty work. ‘If anyone is looking for a good lawyer, I would strongly suggest that you don’t retain the services of Michael Cohen!’ But what – if any of these allegations are proven – did the ‘dirty work’ consist of? Cohen has already admitted to breaching campaign finance rules by paying hush money to a porn ‘actress’, Stormy Daniels, who claims she had an affair with Trump. He says he did this at the direction of the man who would shortly be elected to the Presidency.

A Wall Street Journal report on how this was done landed like a mortar bomb in the Rose Garden on Friday. The details are devastating. ‘What can you do to help my campaign’ the story has Trump asking David Pecker, publisher of the National Enquirer. Pecker was – it’s claimed – brought on board to help Cohen silence Stormy Daniels, and another woman, a former Playboy model called Karen McDougal. Trump asks Cohen: ‘So, what are we gonna pay…150?’ Cohen replies, ‘Yes’ to the payment of $150,000 to McDougal. There is, allegedly, a recording of this conversation.

There are rumors, too, of Trump mistresses paid to have abortions and kept quiet with non-disclosure agreements. One source tells Cockburn that there are eight such women. This is more than merely sad and sordid: if any of these payments were made while Trump was running for President, there would be new campaign finance violations, all felony offenses. Cohen was said to have handled all this. Cohen was also a vice-president of the Trump Organization and knows about how the secretive family business was conducted. This matters because state prosecutors in New York are now said to be looking again at how condos in Trump buildings were sold – not by Trump, but by his older children, Don Junior, Eric and Ivanka.

But what Cohen has to say about Russia could matter more. Cohen and his lawyer, Lanny Davis, continue to deny – emphatically – that he ever went to Prague to meet Russian agents, as is claimed in the ‘dossier’ written by a former MI6 officer, Christopher Steele. Cohen has told people he is being ‘framed’ for Prague – the story, after all, amounts to an allegation of treason. But he has also hinted, privately, that he has other things to say about the Trump campaign’s (alleged) links to the Kremlin… conversations he witnessed, rather than things he did. People who’ve met him in recent weeks say he seems like a recovering victim of Stockholm syndrome; he was humiliated publicly by Trump for years. The man who once said he’d ‘take a bullet’ for the President now calls him a ‘son of a bitch’. He feels that Trump should leave office in disgrace and if he can help with that, why not? So, Michael Cohen, hero of the resistance? Watch this space …

At this point I don't even think that eight abortions would matter to the pro Trump pro life crowd. They'd just shrug and say, "yeah but illegals... Abortions? perfectly reasonable, just look at Eric."

Remember that professor that sought out Papadapoulos? The one who supposedly is a Russian agent, helping to arrange a meeting between the presiduncial candidate and Putin? Well, after being mia for almost a year, he's back in the spotlight again.
