So in theory Trump’s campaign manager could be convicted of bank & tax fraud and Trump's onetime personal lawyer could reach a plea deal on bank & tax fraud charges all in the same afternoon. Just another Tuesday
Oh wow and I forgot about Trump's rally tonight, where I'm sure he will completely maintain his composure
Well, one of these things just happened. ABC reports Michael Cohen has reached a plea deal:
And...the other thing just happened: motherjones.com/politics/2018/…

Sen. Chuck Grassley is currently holding hostage the nomination of a top counterintelligence official because he is trying to force the Justice Department to release classified records concerning the Russia probe motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
It's part of an ongoing GOP effort to undercut the Russia investigation—and has rather serious national security consequences.

The nominee, William Evanina, is interim director of @NCSCgov, created post-9/11 to aid interagency intelligence sharing
As @dfriedman33 reports, Evanina is currently thinking of leaving his post out of frustration with his stalled confirmation

Some interesting history on the Foreign Agents Registration Act, under which Sam Patten was charged today, courtesy of MoJo's @dfriedman33
motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
Prior to 2017, when Mueller charged Paul Manafort & Rick Gates with FARA-related crimes, the DOJ had brought just 7 cases—in 50-plus years.
That’s not because there is an lack of unregistered foreign agents running around Washington. In fact, there has been an explosion of them.

But the Justice Department’s FARA unit is not equipped for enforcement. The FARA office last year told us that it had just 9 employees.

‼️Trump Inauguration ‼️

👉🏼Part Three - Under investigation👈🏼

📌Manhattan-based federal prosecutors are investigating whether some of the $107 million in donations to then President-elect Donald Trump's inaugural committee were misspent.
wsj.com/articles/trump…
The investigation arose in part from the slew of materials seized in April raids on Trump's former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, by federal prosecutors.
wsj.com/articles/trump…
The criminal probe is also looking into whether some of the committee's top spenders traded money for access to the incoming Trump administration, as well as "policy concessions or to influence official administration positions,"

TRUMP COMMITTED AT LEAST ONE FELONY according to his own Justice Dept in sentencing memos filed against Michael Cohen by the SDNY yesterday.

Cohen broke campaign finance law
“in coordination with and
AT THE DIRECTION OF” Trump.

Amazingly, that wasn’t the only bombshell... 1)
Mueller can produce evidence that Paul Manafort lied to fed investigators about his contacts with a Russian Spy and Trump officials, according to sentencing memos filed against Manafort.

THIS IMPLICATES TRUMP AND FAMILY MEMBERS IN A CONSPIRACY.
2)
#THEORY
Trump likely perjured himself in written answers to the Special Counsel’s questions last month, assuming he had the cover of Manafort’s lies.

Mueller waited to reveal that he had the receipts of Manafort’s lies, giving Trump rope to hang himself.

Trump’s former longtime lawyer, Michael Cohen, discussing plea deal in tax fraud case with prosecutors in NY federal court.

This is *separate* from any deal Cohen might have made with Mueller for cooperation in the #TrumpRussia investigation.
