If You Care About The Rule Of Law... And Preserving A Constitutional Democracy


. . .please do read the New York and Washington, DC papers of record -- today and tomorrow. Especially the front pages of each lady.

This is a (third party's) nice summary of where we are, in the "shock and awe" criminal investigation of 45 and his campaign:

. . . .[Overnight] the New York Times reported that Mueller told Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort he was going to be formally charged with a crime following a raid on his Virginia home over the summer.

Mueller has also issued subpoenas to Manafort's spokesman Jason Maloni and former attorney Melissa Laurenza to testify before a federal grand jury.

The developments indicate that Mueller's probe "is nearing the litigation stage," said Brookings Institution fellows and legal experts Benjamin Wittes and Susan Hennessey.

"Combined with a flurry of stories about subpoenas, grand-jury appearances and other activity, it’s reasonable to expect that Mueller is moving forward on a number of different fronts and is getting close to entering a litigation phase," wrote Wittes and Hennessey, a former attorney for the National Security Agency.

"The key question is what he will allege, to what extent it will deal with campaign activity, and against whom he will allege it," they added. . . .


Go get 'em, Bobby Three Sticks. Too busy to say much more -- as I dash for the door -- on this soggy but hope filled morning. . . maybe more, tomorrow. Be well, all.
