I recommend watching the Alva Johnson interview on Chris Hayes (link inside)
This evening Chris Hayes interviewed Trump accuser Alva Johnson, who says Trump forcibly kissed her. It was a good interview and she was very believable. She did cry a bit. If you can find it, I'd recommend watching.
She talked about why she joined the campaign, the incident itself, why it has taken her a while to come out publicly and how she has reacted to Trump's Presidency.
EDIT:
The show has posted a brief clip:

Mueller did file his Manafort sentencing memo. It is under seal.

Give Mueller some credit. He's not being forced to end the investigation.
OK. *deep breaths people* 
Assuming CNN's story is correct about Mueller's report coming next week, then IMHO we can rest assured it is because Mueller is ready. The Special Counsel is by law independent. The AG cannot end his investigation. About the only thing the AG can do is fire the Special Counsel with cause, and that is clearly not what is happening.
It makes no sense to me whatsoever that Mueller could be done. Perhaps the report is so bad he feels he needs to get the info to the (now) Democratic House of Representatives?
In any case, give Mueller some credit. If Barr tried something funny then I'm convinced Mueller would start investigating Barr!
Personally I think CNN is wrong and the investigation will continue. Stay tuned I guess!
New: Mueller questions Cambridge Analytica director Brittany Kaiser
Sun 17 Feb 2019 04.00 EST
Second former employee of controversial data firm to be questioned by special counsel’s inquiry into Russia collusion
A director of the controversial data company Cambridge Analytica, who appeared with Arron Banks at the launch of the Leave.EU campaign, has been subpoenaed by the US investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
A spokesman for Brittany Kaiser, former business development director for Cambridge Analytica – which collapsed after the Observer revealed details of its misuse of Facebook data – confirmed that she had been subpoenaed by special counsel Robert Mueller, and was cooperating fully with his investigation.
He added that she was assisting other US congressional and legal investigations into the company’s activities and had voluntarily turned over documents and data.
EDIT: Adding a bit more from the article:

Does it sound like Mueller is "wrapping up" to you?
Nadler threatens to depose Whitaker!
The New York Democrat, in his letter released Wednesday evening, told CNN earlier Wednesday that Whitaker "may have" misled the committee in testimony last week.
"Although the committee appreciates your decision to appear, members on both sides of the aisle found many of your answers to be unsatisfactory, incomplete or contradicted by other evidence," Nadler's letter read. "You repeatedly refused to offer clear responses regarding your communications with the White House, and you were inconsistent in your application of the Department's policy related to the discussion of ongoing investigations."

Manafort-Linked PAC Failed To Report $1 million donation
How do you forget about $1 million?
In a Tuesday letter, the Federal Election Commission asked the Rebuilding America Now PAC for more information about the donation, which the PAC first disclosed in an amended report in November 2018—some two years after the fact.
The FEC letter raises new questions about the murky financial operations of the PAC, which was operated by two Manafort deputies. Special counsel Robert Mueller is reportedly investigating whether Rebuilding America Now illegally received foreign funds and was connected to a scheme that Manafort allegedly lied about while purportedly cooperating with Mueller.

Natasha Bertrand throws a little shade on Dilanian's NBC report
Ken Dilanian is dumb. He gets easily spun by Republicans.
Natasha Bertrand is very good and knows her stuff. Look at her throw a little shade on Ken's report:
They add: "We are closer to the end than the beginning, but we're not wrapping up."

So they are not near the end as Ken's article claims. And....

So they haven't found an oath between Putin and Trump written in blood. Who cares? The evidence is overwhelming.
OMG the Joy show is absolute shit right now
Holy shit I am fucking PISSED!
Joy on MSNBC just spent FOREVER talking about Schultz, and now they are going ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON about the Warren Native American nonsense.
This segment must have been going on for 15+ minutes and NOT ONE FUCKING SECOND spent on ANY of Warren's policy proposals.
Just "Indian, Indian, Indian, Indian, Indian, Indian"
This shit should be BOYCOTTED!
EDIT: And the segment is now over. Literally not one second spent on any of Warren's policy proposals.
EDIT2: The show has posted two short clips from this segment, to give you an idea. Remember, zero discussion of Medicare for All, taxing the super wealthy or ANY policies at all.
