Update on Manafort trial (Mueller seeking immunity for 5 witnesses):

Zoe Tillman✔ @ZoeTillman

In Paul Manafort's Virginia case, prosecutors have asked the judge to seal forthcoming motions asking for "use immunity" (a type of limited immunity) for five potential trial witnesses who invoked 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination.

These potential witnesses in Manafort's trial "have not been identified publicly with the case," the government writes, so it wants the "use immunity" motions sealed until these people actually testify.

Translation: enough have flipped so completely, take Team Treason so thoroughly, they won’t even do jail time. Traitors are in serious danger.
