The slog of this authoritarian shitshow is grinding us all down. My inspiration has gone into hiding with Melania. Knock yourselves out! (Trump cont.)

'In addition to the Manafort news, Mueller scored a small win today in the lesser-watched Internet Research Agency case. Judge rejected an attempt by one of the Russian companies to review the grand jury instructions, which they claimed were faulty. The judge passed.'

'Sec. Mattis: "Putin seeks to shatter NATO. He aims to diminish the appeal of the western democratic model and attempts to undermine America's moral authority, his actions are designed not to challenge our arms at this point but to undercut and compromise our belief in our ideals" '

The AP has learned that Donald Trump's 2020 campaign is secretly working with former employees of disgraced political consultancy company Cambridge Analytica. apne.ws/oath6Xg

At least Manafort gets to take both his ankle bracelets off.

More on Parscale/CA, Gump. He must be on Mueller's radar.

Think Scrotus is going to send Paulie Walnuts a file baked in a cake?

And thanks to Gump's post Breaking: #MichaelCohen has indicated to family and friends he is willing to cooperate with federal investigators to alleviate the pressure on himself and his family - source familiar tells CNN. @jimsciutto I can't stop madly googling "Cohen agrees to cooperate" over and over hoping to see that headline!

Ooh.

@renato_mariotti
This is sophisticated activity that was used by drug cartels I investigated years ago. The use of this method of communication in itself shows that Manafort knew he was doing something wrong and didn't want to be caught.
Marshall Cohen
@MarshallCohen
Prosecutors said Manafort used a method called "foldering" to covertly talk to people. It's not that complicated: He made an email account and shared the password. He wrote messages but saved them as drafts, never sending actual emails. Other guys open the draft, read it, delete.'

Hey @realDonaldTrump - this one's for you! twitter.com/Amy_Siskind/status/1007655387909296128/photo/1

I was trying to post the pic but my iPad wasn't playing nicely with the app.

I think we'll be hearing more of this in next few days as they try and socialise the idea.

@renato_mariotti
Here's a clear signal why Manafort hasn't flipped yet.

@C_Sommerfeldt
NEW: Rudy Giuliani tells @NYDailyNews "things might get cleaned up with some presidential pardons" when the "whole thing is over" in light of Paul Manafort being sent to jail.

@renato_mariotti

1. ....it appears to be an attempt to undermine Mueller's investigation. But proving that beyond a reasonable doubt would be very difficult--so difficult that I doubt anyone would ever try.
