Special Counsel Robert Mueller is not one to hold a press conference, but is one to speak in his court filings. His latest status update regarding convicted felon Paul Manafort hinted that something big could come down, and soon perhaps a Thanksgiving Surprise?
Although innocuous at first glance, Thursdays motion for an extension to file a joint status report on Manaforts cooperation had some noticeable wording. At the hearing on September 14, 2018, the Court ordered the parties to submit a joint status report on November 16, 2018. The parties have been meeting since the hearing date, the filing says.

Then comes the next line: The parties believe a brief extension of the status report date, until November 26, 2018, will allow them to provide the Court with a report that will be of greater assistance in the Courts management of this matter.
All Mueller needs is a week and a half to iron some things out that will be of greater assistance to the court. This is a very interesting development and legal experts are in agreement that something big is brewing.

May be it's too soon for Mueller to "request an audience" with Pence. But, if The Cretin is worried...well...he might know something we don't.

(10,828 posts)Wouldn't that be a hoot. Because I read that article too about the Trumpster considering a Pence dump for 2020. Pence headed the transition team and reportedly has some nefarious connections of his own. And yes, Manafort brought him to the party over Chris Christie.
Inquiring minds!!!
