YIKES.
I mean, COME. ON.

Mueller:
So, after being accused of a series of lies regarding his work, Paul Manafort was accused of trying to get others to lie, and then, after being convicted of some lies, he reached a plea agreement to avoid a trial on the other lies, after which he is accused of telling more lies.
And, here's @ZoeTillman's report on this latest twist —> Prosecutors Claim Paul Manafort Lied To Mueller's Office And The FBI After Signing His Plea Deal buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

Before the night ends, I wanted to thank three Broadway shows that closed today for the incredible stories — and backstories — they brought to the stage and the larger world: Harvey Fierstein’s Torch Song, Once on This Island, and Head Over Heels. Thank you, all. 😊
I am a ridiculously privileged, white cis gay man who gets to see a ton of theater — in part, though, because I’ve prioritized that. I don’t drink, I don’t do much in terms of expensive travel, but I love theater, so that’s where I spend a good deal of my free time and money.
So, when you see me going off to shows, please understand that this is something I care about. I think it’s important, and I love being able to support the incredible people out there doing such amazing work. 💜 Keep it up.

WALKING HOME. SORRY I AM LATE. #GoldenbGlobes
OK. I’m home. Just in time to see Gaga/Cooper. (I’m not sure I’m in the mood for this tonight, so, I might not be tweeting a lot.)
I’d be totally happy just rewatching The Favourite tonight, tho.

I am gratified to see that @SethAbramson is finally coming around to the realization and admission that Paul Manafort is THE key to Trump’s campaign collusion with Russia. #mueller @NatashaBertrand tinyurl.com/y9hmv567
That is what I have always said, and it is what Steele’s sources AND informants (which on this particular matter were American sources and informants by the way, especially Felix Sater) have always said.
But it needs to be pointed out that Abramson has been a long time coming around to this realization and admission.

"[Manafort] He is now in a far worse position than if he had never elected to cooperate, or if he had followed through on his agreement." #WednesdayWisdom #Mueller

2/"How to make sense of the bizarre turn of events involving Paul Manafort? Two months ago, he struck a plea deal with Robert Mueller, the special counsel — he pleaded guilty but agreed to provide full and truthful information in exchange for a more lenient sentence.
3/"But according to a filing by Mr. Mueller’s team on Monday, Mr. Manafort lied to them repeatedly, and after multiple warnings. He is now in a far worse position than if he had never elected to cooperate, or if he had followed through on his agreement. What was he thinking?

This article has provoked a lot of commentary today. Most of the commentary from the the left has been alarmist, though some (like @SethAbramson) have been dismissive. I don’t think either response is appropriate. 1/16
There was every reason to expect that Mueller would go into action again shortly after the election; we didn’t need this article to know that. 2/16

Manafort flipped. This is the "statement of the offenses" in which Manafort confesses to doing the crimes...

assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4883…
This first count #Manafort admits to is violation of 18 USC § 371, "Conspiracy Against the United States."

What does that mean? He conspired to commit a crime against the US or to defraud the US:
A conspiracy, definitionally, requires more than one conspirator. Who did Manafort conspire with? The first paragraph dealing with Count 1 names Richard Gates and Konstantin Kilimnik "and others"

Paul Manafort was a "sex addict" who made his wife have sex with other men while he watched. His daughters were not please, his wife hated it.
