  • From the interesting article called His worst nightmare: Trump's life under a legal microscope

    His former campaign chairman Paul Manafort is in jail. His former attorney and "fixer" Michael Cohen is headed behind bars next year. His deputy campaign chairman Rick Gates is now a confessed felon. George Papadopoulos, a former member of his foreign policy advisory board, just got out of jail after flipping. His former national security adviser Michael Flynn may only avoid prison after turning on his former boss.

    Questions continue to swirl around Trump's longtime political adviser Roger Stone among other things about what he knew when about Wikileaks email dumps. And people even closer to Trump, such as his son Don Jr. and son-in-law Jared Kushner, cannot be sure they are in the clear although all, including the President, profess innocence and downplay Mueller's investigation.

Funny thing is the ironic warning of Trump during the campaign of how there would be endless investigations if Hillary became president.

        Yep. There is a lot more that could be mentioned. Trump is living in interesting times.

        • An unconstitutional witch-hunt by a dirty cop with effectively unlimited power who's only mandate is "Get him any way you can" would be a nightmare for anybody.

            Yes there is an enormous list of administration officials who either left under fire or were smart enough to get the heck out of there while the getting was good. Ryan Zinke is the latest to announce he is getting out before democrats take over the House in January, Gee I wonder why.

                  U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan (a Clinton appointee), who is overseeing Michael Flynn's criminal prosecution, ordered Mueller to turn over all of the interview documents with Flynn after learning that the FBI not only didn't tell Flynn that he was being officially interviewed but also specifically told him he didn’t need a lawyer. It was an entrapment interview in the guise of an unofficial, casual chat where they sought (and succeeded) to deny him the advice of legal counsel. And this was all done at the orders of James Comey who later bragged about how he got away with it on MSNBC.

                  It should be noted that disgraced former FBI agent Andrew McCabe was part of this interview and even he as well as the other agents signed reports saying that they didn't think Flynn lied during their talk, and yet Mueller would still charge Flynn with lying during this fraudulent unofficial, casual chat.

                  It appears that Emmet Sullivan seriously sanctioned some of the prosecutors on Mueller's team for suborning perjured testimony from a contractor several years back. They got him to claim that he did a free $150,000 remodeling job on Senator Ted Stevens' house in exchange for political favors. Stevens lost re-election and was convicted of a felony although the verdict was later vacated by Sullivan due to multiple instances of prosecutorial misconduct.

                  And now it appears he is looking at possible prosecutorial misconduct on the part of Mueller -- who is so far refusing to turn over investigative records on the case. This might get real interesting.

                      Today the Appeals Court ruled to uphold the lower court's judgment and released their order publicly, so we can tell some of the details.

                      It appears someone (presumably Mueller) is trying to do a grand jury subpoena against a foreign state-owned corporation. The most likely candidates for this are the Russian-government-owned Rosneft or the Qatar-government-owned Qatar Investment Authority both of whom are popular suspects for quid-pro-quo deals with Trump.

                      The foreign corporation had replied to the subpoena by saying they were a foreign entity whom US courts had no authority over. The district court judge held them in contempt and fined them for their failure to comply, and on appeal the appeals court has upheld the lower court's rulings and insisted the foreign company complies with the subpoena. I guess it will be interesting to see whether this convinces the company to spill the beans or not.
