paul manafort's fucked up!

^ That can't be right

Trump told Hannity on Monday that Manafort's a "really nice man"

Trump squealing on twitter about the recordings and accusing the FBI of breaking in to Cohen's office.

Someone needs to explain to Trump how a warrant works. Maybe Mueller will oblige in due course

That will be Mueller's biggest warrant for sure

On a slight side-track of sorts, I read an intersting piece yesterday about the russians indicted by the Mueller investigation (can't find the link now).
At least two of the guys are quite high up in the government/military, with a third being the head of their department. But these two guys in particular can be directly linked to the infamous 'Fancy Bears' hacking group that has been involved in many hacks in recent years (including the hack into Clintons email server, and the attacks on Macron in the french elections), with one appearing to be the lead coder of some of their hacking tools.

That's fucking huge.
They have basically identified this hacking group as not just definitely being russian based (as previously suspected), and not just being some random group of hackers working on targets of benefit to the russian government, but its an actual department of the government/military, using government/military personnel and resources.

That makes such actions tantamount to an act of war!

And bear in mind, Trumpo would have had all this intel before he cosied up to Putin and bestowed his kisses to his arse!!

In Trump’s pre inaugeration briefing he was shown the evidence available at that time ehich proved Russian involvement and yet as recently as last week he was denying it. I also read last week that in the campaign when he said he hoped the Russiand could find the deleted Clinton emails an attempt was immediately made to hack her.

A history of Trump and his contradictory statements about Putin/Russia

If he has any conplaints about how the press/people respond to him about Russia then he only has himself to blame

Something has got him rattled calling Russia investigation a hoax and threatening world war 3 with Iran

To coin a phrase that probably Kurt Angle would say :-

"Mr President, the Russian investigation is real, damn real!"
