and he won’t be targeted by a Russian hit. So he is scared to quit, and there are all those nice emoluments too.

... that puts Mueller one step closer to proving an international conspiracy to get Donald Trump elected, U.U. voters be damned.

And apparently Natalia Veselnitskaya has now been proven to be an actual agent of the Russian government. Go figure. I will now depart to bang my head on a damn WALL!

Let all this continue to unfold in the background. Then boom.

Besides, I think the Manafort story will be reported on in larger scale in the coming week. Also, I doubt Trump supporters will conclude that Manafort giving poll numbers to Russians means that Trump was involved. We already know that Russia was interfering in the election. This takes it very close to Trump, since Manafort was in the inner circle and was Trump's campaign manager for a few months.

Yes, I'm SO GLAD they nailed that Natalia down as being an agent of the Russian govt. We knew it, didn't we? But now, it's a fact.

Don't hurt your head on that big WALL!
