We all know that Trump’s big defense for his latest open corruption — i.e., that he’s actually trying to stop corruption — is laughable on its face. I mean, it’s a little like Carrot Top criticizing Gallagher for filling a weary world with bad prop
Manafort, Flynn, Cohen, Stone, Papadopoulos, Gates. That’s a lot of people fetching coffee, let me just say. Three more and they’ll have a pretty decent prison softball lineup. They’ll look sharp chasing down ground balls in their ostrich-skin uniforms and top hats, that’s for sure.
After Paul Manafort’s sentencing yesterday Manaforts lawyer, Kevin Downing, addressed the waiting TV cameras outside the courthouse, pirouetting for an intended audience of one saying Judge Jackson had found “no evidence of collusion” which was not strictly true or even close to the truth. The
When Paul Manafort appeared before Judge T.S. Ellis last week, he was facing up to 24 years in prison, so the 47 months he actually got seemed like a slap on the wrist. Turns out it was. A recent analysis by USA Today showed that
OK, I’ll deal with this right at the top, because I know how y’all absolutely dote on every golden drop that falls from my fingers to the keyboard. Judge Ellis is a wealthy, privileged, arrogant, half senile dick. Which gives him something in common with
If you’re looking for justice for Paul Manafort you’ll have to wait for D.C. x Judge TS Ellis before giving Manafort his sentence noted he “lived an otherwise blameless life,” was a good friend and generous person to others. That doesn't erase his crimes

Q: What do Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, Jerome Corsi, and Roger stone all have in common? I mean besides the fact that they’re all major, world class assholes, of course. That one was too obvious. A:

This is a quick hopefully audience-friendly guide to the main charges that will (and won’t!) play a part in prosecuting collusion with Russia. In particular, I want to highlight the requirements for proving each of these offenses, because that’s valuable for understanding Mueller’s strategy as the various parts
It won’t be Michael Cohen. And it won’t be Michael Flynn either. Forget about Paul Manafort while you’re at it, and he can take Rick Gates and Don McGahn with him. Yeah, I know, their faces are all as universally recognizable as Fabio’s pecs, and
Legendary reporter Carl Bernstein appeared on CNN earlier today and tossed out this little morsel: “According to sources familiar with aspects of the Mueller investigation, the special prosector has known for more than a year that Manafort visited the president of Ecuador in Ecuador —
OK, I give up, somebody is gonna have to explain it to my dumb ol’ ass. The Prosecutions court filing yesterday saying that Manafort had blown his pea deal by lying apparently caught everybody by surprise. But, because media pundits are paid to be big
Wipe that smirk off of your face right now. I am not denying, refuting, or admitting anything. I am simply enriching the texture of my previous narrative. I like the way that rolls off of the tongue, it sounds so much better than “I’m putting in some shit
Justin Miller, National Editor of The Daily Beast, has an interesting theory about Mueller’s Joint Status Report, which contains a tantalizing statement… (Bolds mine) “The government will file a detailed sentencing submission to the Probation Department and the Court in advance of sentencing that sets forth

No Russians. No Collusion. No Russians. No Collusion. No Russians. No Collusion. Since the day that Robert Mueller was appointed, this has been the Tantric meditative chant for Trump and his nitwit cabal. Geico used to run ads with the catch phrase, “So
NBC News reporter Cassie Semyon wasn’t going to let anyone scoop her on yesterday’s Paul Manafort guilty verdicts, so she did her best Jackie Joyner Kersee impersonation and sprinted out of the Courthouse in Alexandria Va. yesterday and into television news reporting lore, redeeming little blue dresses
The bad news has come so fast and furious for Donald Trump in the past couple of hours, you could write an entire “We Didn’t Start the Fire” parody based on just what’s happened today. This is like police-carting-bodies-out-of-Jeff-Dahmer’s-apartment kind of stuff — that is, if
