don't drop the soap, paul

So a judge has found that Trump's campaign chairman lied about meeting with a GRU-connected(according to FBI and Rick Gates) Russian, a meeting where he handed over and walked him through private, complex polling data. Hours later Deripaska's plane landed in New York for a few hours, and departed.

Manafort and Kilimnik also discussed a Ukrainian peace deal, which would include lifting sanctions on Russia.

This is the strongest evidence so far of collusion/conspiracy. It doesn't necessarily implicate the president directly, but it is damning for Manafort.

Also, do people really think Mueller is going to reveal the most damning evidence he has of collusion before any indictments drop? I think it's inevitable that more will come.

Andrew McCabe: The president— launched into— several unrelated diatribes. One of those was commenting on the recent missile launches by the government of North Korea. And, essentially, the president said he did not believe that the North Koreans had the capability to hit us here with ballistic missiles in the United States. And he did not believe that because President Putin had told him they did not. President Putin had told him that the North Koreans don't actually have those missiles.

Scott Pelley: And U.S. intelligence was telling the president what?

Andrew McCabe: Intelligence officials in the briefing responded that that was not consistent with any of the intelligence our government possesses to which the president replied, "I don't care. I believe Putin."

When a president says stuff like this, is it any wonder why the FBI opened a counter-intelligence investigation into him?

Meaning he's guilty like fuck and has nothing more to lose ?
Also rejecting plea deal: why ?

I can't believe that Stone threw up the Zodiac symbol as a signal to assassinate a federal judge in public like that

Someone better keep an eye on Ted

Jeez, stop watching alex jones

Natasha Bertrand interview with McCabe.

Also interesting tidbit on McCabe informing the gang of eight:

Nobody objected.

>unreliable narrator

law and order republicans that love them a good show of force when it's poor people lose their minds for the force shown on Stone because he was no threat, just a peaceful old man

>Stone has to apologize for threatening a sitting judge with crosshairs

Well, it's worth remembering that he's under criminal investigation for lying to the FBI, but I don't think that means he's totally unreliable. There's varying levels of credibility for this cast of Russiagate characters... McCabe isn't at the top, but he certainly isn't at the bottom either.
