I don't doubt that Mueller has the goods and he and his team are continuing to turn up the dirt on Trump et al, but predictions on major news have proven unreliable, to say the least.

Everyone strap in & brace yourself. There are about to be some major stories released on the Trump-Russia scandal. First one will be early this evening. I compiled an extensive research report & @GrantStern has the exclusive. Lets just say it will stop some attacks on Mueller.
10:13 AM - 28 Dec 2017
About 8pm tonight, he says later. Presumably Eastern Time.

Were you yourself someone from somewhere (or at least sound like you're someone from somewhere-- as that appears your criteria of validity), he may allow your sentiment all the relevance and consideration it is in fact, due as well.
But I get it... it's mentally convenient to tell ourselves that if we don't know who the messenger is, we may safely ignore it. Sounds like a real game-changer you've invented for yourself. Good luck!
What does nowhere sound like, by the way? The chimes of petulance or merely the simplistic melody of bitterness?

(11,885 posts)Mannifort has flipped and has accepted a guilty plea ,and telling all, or they'll have a ton to indict him with moving forward. He has to understand they already know what he's confessing to , and telling them about trump and all those others involved. Anything they ask, they already know about. There are many others already flipped and working for them too. Trump and his team will start saying he's a lair too. Its all caving in on trump , and all those involved, including those in Congress involved now, and looking like a lot of collusion and obstruction charges coming their way. So many hate trump so much in his circle and cabinet, many could be flipped and helping them at this point. Don't count out Pence as one of them either. He's really a crook and liar too.

LONDONWhen Nigel Farage, Mr. Brexit, watched Donald Trump accept the Republican Partys presidential nomination at the convention last year he had an extremely unlikely companion. His closest aide on the trip was an offshore investment expert who had boasted on the dark web about his ability to launder money illegally in and out of the United States.
The aide, George Cottrell, was busted at Chicagos OHare airport on his way home to London on July 22, 2016. He would later plead guilty to participating in a scheme to advertise money laundering services on a TOR network black-market website.
With questions being raised about a dark money influence on Brexitand the election of Donald Trumpall of this begs the question: who was this criminal operative chosen to accompany Farage at the RNC where he met with some of Trumps best known boosters, including Newt Gingrich and Roger Stone?
It was reported earlier this year that Farage is a person of interest in the FBIs Russia-Trump probe. He appeared alongside Trump at a rally in Mississippi in August 2016, and was one of the first foreign politicians to visit Trump Tower after the shock election victory.

(1,142 posts)A new report details how one Republican Congressman benefitted from a surge in national donations from a group of 15 of the Presidents largest donors over the last eighteen months, before turning into Trumps very public attack dog, seeking delegitimize the FBI and become a Fox News darling.
Representative Ron DeSantis is a member of the Republican Tea Partys Freedom Caucus, but his donor list is missing the kinds of Koch Brothers cash one might expect, instead filled with cash from major Trump donors which Politico calls his billionaire kingmakers.
However, concluding that Trumps tweet caused top GOP donors to fill DeSantis coffers inverts the relationship between the two events and omits whats being shown to the President on Fox News.
I assisted Democratic Coalition co-founder Scott Dworkin in preparing his first of his Follow the Money series of reports entitled, Congressman DeSantis Funded By Trumps Largest Donors, upon which this story is based.
Trump and DeSantis rely on the same people to fill their campaign coffers. We know what they want from Trump the full-scale turnover of America to corporate interests, says Dworkin who uncovered the relationship between the Florida Republican and Trumps donors, But what do these billionaires want from Rep. DeSantis?
