Federal judge that rick gates cooperation is ongoing. they dont want another status report until mid november. mike flynn was also a cooperating witness for the government for a time. this week, that seems to have gone off the rails now that he has dumped his legal team and hired a new team full of anti-robert mueller crusaders. the prosecutors told the judge that flynns cooperation has ended. flynns defense team told the judge this week that they want the prosecutors in the flynn case disciplin...

Indicted or pled guilty including 26 russian nationals, three russian companies and six former trump advisers. five of the six former advisers pleaded guilty. but as you say, not a single allegation related to collusion with russia to impact the 2016 election. former trump campaign foreign policy adviser george papadopoulos pleaded guilty in october of 2017 of making false statements to the f.b.i. he was sentenced to 14 days in jail. paul manafort, trumps former campaign chair was indicted on 25...

Justice, witness tampering. its not clear whether rudy giuliani and manaforts lawyer believe they were operating under a joint defense agreement that was protected by attorney-client privilege but lawyers tell me its not. those conversations are subject to discovery. robert mueller could drag these lawyers into the grand jury and demand to hear under oath what was said. whether a pardon was dangled. the other question is when did robert mueller find out. theres some people that believe he knew e...
