LOL! So Mueller! Has he produced a critical witness close to Trump that isn't a liar, a pedophile, an embezzler, a porn star, a madam, or BSC yet?

I doubt Mueller cares. He's go to hell to interview Satan if he thought it would get Trump.

He gets stuck with tax bills instead of the bank if they drag their feet taking it.

I'm sorry anyone trying to claim Omarosa was an FBI CHS sounds like Alex Jones level BS.

And who is it that says Mueller is seriously considering her recordings has based on this?

Omarosa's 15 minutes will be up soon enough. Especially if the DOJ decides pursue the issues with her recording in a SCIF and possibly privileged conversations.

The Democrats need her, and she won't go away. They're baiting Trump to arrest her because the media will turn her into a martyr and say it is proof that Trump is racist. They need to tank Trump's approval rating among blacks.

Well they won't tank the AA approval with Omarosa. She has zero credibility with the conservative AA voters.

I just read where she held no security clearance above that of being able to enter the White House grounds, (basic background check.) So there is no way they can go after her on any type of Title 18 violation. She just broke some serious NATSEC rules and will never hold a clearance ever in the future.

haha Strozek fired

In less than 24 hrs

He should now be charged with the multiple felonies he has committed and his lawyer can proceed to shut the **** up.

Does this mean the next IC report is about to come out?

I would think so. There were a few firings before the last one dropped.

Agreed

Reporting has been that it is in the review process as the first on, and has been for two weeks. The last one stayed in review for 39 days. Being this is a FISA abuse investigation as a focus point, these redactions and people tying it up could be more involved than the last one granted the level of classification around FISC and FISA.

Hopefully like last time the stuff that will never be unreacted hopefully he places them in a series of appendices, they can hold back from the publically issued version, that will speed things up.

More evidence that the left loves to throw their money at criminals.

Without a doubt

Kellyanne Conway dropped it this morning that Strzok emailed a TS/SAP warrant on his gmail, according to the OPM report, and they still recommended a slap on the wrist and the DD FBI David Bowdich overrode it and terminated him. Bowdich scored a few points with me with that.

Judge Ellis is sealing today's proceedings. Media blackout

And this is part of why none of them thought what Hillary was doing was a big deal. Because the leadership at the FBI all seemed to be pulling down classified info into unclassified networks.

And then they use such laws to crack down on ordinary people or on people whenever they want to strong arm them or send a message. This is cronyism at its worst and is exactly why they founders feared a strong federal government.

Probably wise. Helps prevent the jury from being tainted by the arguments about dismissal.

You guys actually think the IG report is gonna amount to anything? I'll save you some time and give you the headline in advance.

"While we found numerous instances of protocol being breached and policies and procedures not being followed, we have determined that neither political ideology nor personal animosity were involved. We have referred a few individuals who broke protocol to the OPM, and we believe it is appropriate to let that process play out."

Might be some issues with the jury. He would seal the court room if he has to poll them about violating the rules. Then he decides whether to strike them from the jury and if the alternates are untainted so as to keep the jury viable without having to declare a mistrial.

I would be surprised if Ellis would clear the courtroom for a Rule 29 hearing. Jury wouldn't be there, of course but I fail to see why the gallery would be cleared out and the arguments sealed. This is a bank fraud and tax evasion case, not an espionage case.

Most anything is possible in this screwy case however. It has taken some bizarre turns.

My complete guess is he's going to browbeat both sides about a plea

Dude:

SCIF rules don't apply if you are on the correct side of justice.

I've been wondering about this. Good judges usually have solid intuitions about how a jury is going to break. Perhaps he's going to tell them which verdicts will "likely" (wink this will happen) be directed and which counts he thinks the jury will tag Manafort for and then to work out a deal.

But I don't do criminal work, so I have no idea.

Catherine Herridge indicated that the court official responsible for handling the jury was being specifically called to the courtroom before it was sealed today. Also note the same court official was summoned to one of the multiple bench conferences that happened on Friday. Might be coincidence, might not.

Reading the tea leaves at this point. I will say if this thing has gone sideways to the point that Ellis is forced to declare a mistrial, I have serious doubts they will seek to re-try him on all of the same counts. It would be a much narrower scope, if they brought it at all. A few of the prosecution witnesses (the ones with limited immunity) have lost their jobs anyway and might scatter to the winds.

I personally could GAF what Horowitz has to say, but I'm curious, but once it's out the indictments will be unsealed and then let the games begin.

Yes sir, I do.

There is a life and death struggle going on at the DOJ/FBI over the future of the USA. There are still many who are supporters of Comey, McCabe, Strozk, and the others who were in a conspiracy to get Hilary elected and then take POTUS Trump down. The Director of OPM is an example.

There is untold pressure behind the scenes through many intermediaries to intimidate the people in charge of bringing justice. I really believe that there are US Attorneys and FBI agents doing their jobs. It is a good thing that Jeff Sessions is segregated from the Mueller probe so that he and his attorneys can focus on the real crimes. Mueller is just a diversion.

If their is no justice for the perpetrators of the scheme to bring down the POTUS, our Constitutional Republic will be destroyed. This is not about a watergate breakin and coverup. This is about sedition which is a crime that is now being brought up in the media. Serious stuff.

The media wants you to believe that Mueller is the only investigation going on. Some where in Utah.......
