legal avenue possible, right? you don t leave any box unchecked because you never totally know. why not do it. that said, bob mueller doesn t strike me as the type who leaves a lot of shoelaces untied, legally speaking. and he has, as we saw, like, oh, okay, you want to see this is outside my purview, here is someone who said it is in my purview to do this. i don t think it is likely to work. paul manafort is nation up to 300 plus years in prison for the allegations against him. you re going to try anything and everything you can given those stakes. paul, as chris said, he s trying every avenue that he should, but if you look at this, and that s the avenue that he has as an option, and it clearly does not appear to be good considering what rosenstein, who oversees the mueller investigation, because the ag sessions recused himself what does that tell you? well, i have to agree with chris. this is an uphill battle for
