It's a Friday, is it Indictment Friday?

Next Friday most of y'all will be recovering from turkey coma and hungover from the drunken shouting matches with relatives (Isn't that how everyone celebrates?). I doubt we'll get anything next week.

So, is today Indictment Friday?

There are only so many Fridays left in the year when Congress will be in session and I hope that something happens before the end of the year. I'd bet that trump will freak out and fire Mueller before the Democratic House comes into office in mid January.

Tick tock. If not today, it's coming soon, but based on his freak outs in recent days, I hope its sooner rather than later.

Per Rachel, yesterday Mueller's team asked the judge overseeing the Manafort case (not the grouch judge) for a 10 day extension of their report to the judge about Manafort's status. Rachel's understanding is that they would report on how Manafort has helped the prosecution.

She calls Monday a huge day. If she's right, mark Monday on your calendar.

It's Rachel's best guess. But she did present a credible case for her hunch.

We'll see soon enough. Fingers crossed!

For the BIG indictments, we've gotten a message in the morning that the DOJ will be announcing something at a press conference in a few hours. Since that hasn't happened, and it is already 10:43 AM, I think it is less likely.
