PAUL MANAFORT & SPECIAL COUNSEL have reached a plea deal, per a criminal information filed in DC. he's pleading guilty to conspiracy against US and conspiracy to obstruct justice.
manafort is due in DC federal court at 11am, where judge amy berman jackson still has to accept the deal. it's also still unclear if he is going to cooperate with robert mueller's team.
can you imagine being the jurors in manafort's alexandria case? you spend 3 weeks of your life on this only for him to plead guilty less than a month later.

NEW- US district judge tanya chutkan was denied a motion from maria butina's defense to release her from jail pending trial, citing a high risk of flight
the judge also imposed a gag order on both sides, saying comments from butina's lawyer robert driscoll "crossed the line." the judge said they make it even harder to find a jury pool that would ensure a fair trial in DC
the judge also scolded federal prosecutors for last week's misstep, when the DOJ said they were "mistaken" by describing the messages butina sent about sex as being serious in offering sex for employment; judge said she was "dismayed" someone at the DOJ read the messages that way

1. Some thoughts on this story that @kittypurrzog covered earlier this month. If you missed it, in addition to her piece you can read @MrAndyNgo’s first-hand account:

2. I feel like this shouldn’t need to be spelled out but in case there’s any doubt on my position, what happened to Andy was appalling. No one should be treated that way under any circumstances. Media who are working are no exception to that.
3. This thread will fill in some context that I haven’t seen discussed in any of the coverage I’ve read and also offer a critique of Andy & other journalists' roles in these stories. (I should note that we’ve known each other online for more than a year and met in person once.)

1/ The #Saudi kidnapping of #Khashoggi reminds me of the kidnapping of #Hariri. It is meant to embarrass the other party, this time the gov of #Turkey, and provoke a diplomatic crisis. This is drug Cartel methods. It has no other goal than to assert power over the other.
2/ However, resorting to these methods to assert power in the political and international affairs sphere is always a sign of weakness and a sign of a power in crisis. #SaudiArabia

On Sept. 11, 2001, everyone watched in horror as our country was attacked. Here is a story about a friend who died on 9/11 as an #American hero. I first met John years ago, we had both trained and worked in the business of corporate finance out of #NYC. John was a good man.
After working his way through the difficult first years many new executives face as they battle to make a career for themselves on Wall Street, John had worked at several firms with positions of increasing responsibility. It was difficult for him, because John was a nice guy.
By 2000, John had won enough battles to earn respect on Wall Street. He had become Managing Director of boutique investment firm Sandler O'Neill, focused on mergers & acquisitions of regional banks. John worked from his office on the 104th floor of One World Trade Center in #NYC.

1. The weaponization of our society seems to cover just about every facet of #American lifestyle. From life's necessities to technology, to media, even our governing agencies. We have to ask: #WhereDoesItAllEnd?.. in #MartialLaw?

#EverythingWeaponized
2. Let's first define what it means to '#Weaponize'. It's simple...do the opposite of what something is supposed to do:

A. Make drinking water unsafe
B. Make food poisonous instead of nutritious
C. Allow @TheJusticeDept to let crime flourish
D. Turn our news into lies: #FakeNews
3. Clearly, the single greatest threat to our society and our entire earth is #GeoEngineering - the spraying of our skies by both military & commercial aircraft.

Just #Lookup!.. it's not hard to spot But what are the motives? We've heard it all. #Chemtrails #OpChemtrails #HAARP

Okay. My comments on #JohnMcCain.
It appears pretty universal that speaking any truth - and let's face it, that's what they're talking about - is verboten. It's surprising to me from whom some I'm seeing that.
#JohnMcCainRIP #JohnMcCainisOverParty #JohnMcCainAmericanHero
That said, I do not in any way want to take away from #JohnMcCain's service and sacrifice while in the military. I don't consider the $174K plus massive benefits and side bonuses of Senator "public service." I do appreciate #McCain's military service. #SenJohnMcCain
I will try to limit my comments. I'll try to stick to facts, and John McCain in his own words. That should be okay, right? If I'm mostly citing the man's own words and actions, that's just a tribute of who #McCain was, right?
