1. I hope Mueller is saying the good stuff--the charges on Trump--for his report

2. We might see more of it in the next trial in Sept.

3. That doesn't preclude incidental discovery of supporting evidence of collusion, does it?

I don't see how that would be possible.

5. Exactly...Mueller only says things according to how it works in the court room...

Trump isn't on trial, Manafort is so why would they put Trump on trial here? They won't, but there will be plenty of evidence that comes out that clearly points out that Trump was involved, etc.

Mueller is so by the book, it is CRAZY...but in a good way.

4. Manafort was simply and easily swept up in this.

Reading the initial indictment against him it was amazing how basic his fraud was. There wasn't even a good attempt at concealment.

If Manafort is used for the bigger collusion aspect, it would be as a witness, not in this setting.

6. This is a strange post

Or rather, the link is odd. It goes to Ms. Eakin's Twitter feed and there isn't any supporting reporting for her tweet.

Did Robert Mueller make a statement in court? He never makes a public statement so where did she get this information?

Not to disparge Ms. Eakin, but the reporting is very thin and her following is rather limited. Is she considered a reliable source?
