He had some scoops, and then got scammed. He didn't make anything up so much as he got hoodwinked. Since then he's almost entirely focused on GOTV and buying billboards. He's harmless atm.

Also mandatory, follow @darth

EDIT: Aww crap. @darth went into hibernation yesterday. I figured that was the reason he hadn't tweeted today. He stops posting for a couple months every year.

I want to clarify that I never said something big was happening today. I do think it's possible though, if not likely.

Sessions wanted to stay on until today for some reason. The White House refused to allow him to. Mueller grand juries meet on Fridays.

is delayed. Mueller is being very careful to do nothing that could be quashed in court. He will dot all i's and cross all t's.
