The quiet before the storm: Hello from the Senate Judiciary Committee, where DC Circuit nominee – and reported SCOTUS contender – Neomi Rao is appearing at 10am. Expect Qs about her college writings on race, date rape, and LGBT issues. Our original story: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Rao is also expected to face Qs about her current job as head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, where she's led the Trump admin's push to roll back federal regs – the DC Circuit is the main venue for litigation over agency regs and rulemaking
If you'd like to watch Neomi Rao's hearing, here's a link to the livestream: judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/02/05… Her nomination is a big deal for many reasons – she would take Justice Brett Kavanaugh's old seat on the influential DC Circuit, and is a rumored SCOTUS contender herself

Latest dispatch from the exciting and glamorous world of legal journalism: Manafort's lawyers walked out of the courtroom, but they were just taking a quick break
We're now three hours into sealed arguments over whether Paul Manafort intentionally lied after signing his plea deal. The defense lawyers came out once early on for a quick break, and that's it

NEW: A federal judge in Maryland has dismissed the state's lawsuit seeking to enforce the constitutionality of Obamacare as too speculative at this point — and, as a result, declared the challenge to Acting AG Matt Whitaker's appointment moot assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5717…
The judge found that notwithstanding Trump's rhetoric about the ACA, there isn't any concrete indication the admin will stop enforcing it now: "In effect, the State proclaims that the sky is falling. But, falling acorns, even several of them, do not amount to a falling sky"
And if the plaintiff (the state of Maryland) lacks standing to sue now, the judge wrote that any fight over whether Whitaker should be named in the lawsuit as the acting AG (which is a fight over whether his appointment was lawful) is moot

🔥#BREAKING Roger Stone Is Indicted AND Arrested in Mueller Investigation Into Trump Campaign nyti.ms/2Hurg8I #TrumpRussia
‼️FBI agents arrested Roger Stone at his home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Longtime adviser to Trump, Stone was charged with 7 counts—obstruction, making false statements and witness tampering—over his communications with WikiLeaks & Dem emails. #TrumpRussia #MuellerInvestigation
Sarah Sanders, seriously: Roger Stone’s arrest and indictment has nothing to do with the president or the WH. Will the same standard apply to others who gave false statements like Hillary Clinton and James Comey? CNN is guilty of collusion. President Trump is tough on Russia.

As an early documenter of Manafort’s lobbying & money laundering schemes, I’m now working on a pre-election report on the Mueller probe: What’s in store for Trump, Pence, Kushner and others in the inner circle? How will the probe end? Help support this: gofundme.com/volunteerjourn…
1. (THREAD) Special Counsel Robert Mueller's ongoing probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election is zeroing in on a series of conference calls longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone hosted in 2016 where he predicted Wikileaks "will roil this race".wsj.com/articles/muell…
2. For months, Stone has been predicting his indictment by Mueller. “It is not inconceivable now that Mr. Mueller may seek to conjure up some extraneous crime pertaining to my business, or maybe not even pertaining to the 2016 election.”

Let's examine what those crimes may be:
