Breaking on MSNBC, quoting CNN. (1st Mueller indictments)

[lindysalsagal]

Yes!!!!!!!!

Got Nick Ackermann on the phone, saying it's a flight risk, and therefore sealed. Could also be someone we haven't heard of before.

Talking Manafort now. Cohen, 45's lawyer, and strange, possibly illegal transactions.

Nick says he guesses it's about direct russian collusion. All speculation.

Bringing on another former prosecutor: Paul Fishman. He says possible Manafort, Flynn, obstruction of justice...but that Mueller wouldn't do this at all unless he felt he had sufficient evidence to CONVICT!!!

Saying there's always a reason to seal: either to keep the secret until they can tell the lawyer, or to not tipoff other targets that they're next. Possible it could be used to apply pressure to cough up a bigger fish.

Also possible arrests could be made this weekend, or that mueller might make announcements monday.

That's it: MORE WINE!!!!!!

1. Finally!

[bathroommonkey76]

2. I'm betting it's Manafort.

[SunSeeker]

16. Yup. The FBI actually told him he woukd get indicted, during that no-knock search of his house. nt

[Cosmocat]

19. I'm surprised that fucker

Isn't already holed up in some country where he can't be brought back to the US.

3. yippee ki yay

4. Rachel on, saying lots of little things broke today....

but CNN sites 2 good sources say there are charges. Federal grand jury in DC, today. No idea who or how many.

She says there were lots of very reliable sources saying this was about to happen.
Barbara McQuaid on now: former fed prosecutor:

Saying that grand juries hear evidence and then approve indictments.

Saying that if the accused establishes a relationship with their lawyer and Mueller, they may not be arrested, but come in voluntarily to a court appearance.

Rachel asking about Manafort's "no-knock" raid: and that if these actions are about pressuring witnesses to talk: Barbara says probably not. Barbara thinks it's real.

[Glimmer of Hope]

5. Manafort seems like the most likely flight risk.

[marylandblue]

6. Could be more than one

There are multiple flight risks. Once they get one, the others know they are next.

7. Trump's going to need to play lots of golf this weekend.

[lindysalsagal]

8. You volunteering?

Lol. Can you imagine the abuse his workers will receive this weekend?????

[jalan48]

9. No-I'd hit some at him though.

[lindysalsagal]

10. You know, sometimes people loose their grip on the club, and surprising things happen....

totally by accident.

[Kingofalldems]

12. He won't be playing Sunday. Huge storm to barrel up the east coast.

Kind of a metaphor.

[jalan48]

14. Even better. He will be like a character in a Shakespearian tragedy, beset by demons on a windy,

rainy night.

[lindysalsagal]

11. There HAVE to be stories of panic and hysteria, and people willing to tell this weekend....

We know the little hands have no self control....

[Thrill]

13. Get Donald Jr's passport

[-_O_-]

15. Just in case

Station the FBI at major airports

[Zorro]

17. Wonder if the Dane Boente resignation is related to this action

Seems like a strange coincidence.

[OnlinePoker]

18. Giving the perps a weekend to get out of Dodge. n/t
