That won't protect you from liquid death. And that stuff makes you go crazy before you die.
 
Trump pick Whitaker rose through ranks as partisan targeting Democrats

Matthew Whitaker, the newly installed acting attorney general, built his career filing politically targeted lawsuits and complaints against Democratic lawmakers. In one case he prosecuted, a paid informant was instructed to wear a wire to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting attended by a Democratic state senator.

An examination of Whitaker’s record, and interviews with people who knew him in the early years of his career in Iowa, describe a lawyer who rose from obscurity to the top ranks of the Department of Justice (DoJ), where he is now the top law enforcement official in the country, because he was seen as a skilled partisan operator. Whitaker also received a critical helping hand over the years from a powerful patron: Chuck Grassley, the Republican senator from Iowa.

This is significant (as is anything related to Stone) as it shows that Mueller is definitely going after Trump for his ties to Russia (and not just some lesser offenses like money-laundering or tax fraud or the like). Stone is a political strategist and as such it is unlikely he would be tied into any of the lesser crimes, but when it comes to being an expert on American politics--an essential part of the effectiveness of incorporating and guiding Russian involvement--he would be a prime candidate, particularly since he's a sociopath and wouldn't give a fuck about the details. He might balk at being directly tied in some way (and would have taken steps to make sure, at least at the time, that he personally was inoculated, which is why Mueller is going after his associates), but he'd know where the bodies were buried and certainly enough to bring down Trump if he could be pressured properly.

He thinks of himself as being tougher than anyone on the block, but, like Trump, it's also all an act and at heart he's a coward and would do anything to save his own skin. So the only question is (for Mueller) can he get enough dirt on Stone to prove his skin is definitely at risk?

Corsi claims he won't take the plea deal because he didn't lie, that he was just able to figure out on his own that Assange had the DNC emails and would release them in October of 2016. Of course, there are "unnamed sources" that gave him the details of the DNC computer systems, but they failed to tell him how those details were learned and what was taken from them. But he "connected the dots" to conclude that Assange must have Podesta's emails and would release them on a specific date.

His conspiracy theories are pretty clearly a sign of a brain that isn't fully functioning. I wonder if he really believes that his claim is true?
 
Corsi is almost certainly blowing smoke.

He won't accept a plea "DEAL" for one count. "Deal" implies that he can actually be charged with multiple counts.
Can anyone recall hearing this kind of noise from anyone else under heat from Mueller? And what was the outcome?

:hysterical:

Mueller charges Manafort with repeatedly lying; plea agreement is void; he’s going to die in prison:

I don't get it. You're for all intents and purposes under the thumb of the most relentless g-man in modern times, and you think you can get away with lying to him? Manafort is either an idiot, or arrogant, or some combination of both.

He has obviously been offered a pardon by the Shitgibbon. This is going to look great; MONEY LAUNDERING PRESIDENT PARDONS MONEY LAUNDERER! if the pardon comes right away it will effect the 2020 elections somewhat, but the closer those elections get the more impact it will have. Maybe the Shitgibbon is scrambling to get his own ass covered so he can run away - pardons often come in the last couple of days of a Presidency. :)
I'd say that if the pardon doesn't come quick, there will be no Shitgibbon on the 2020 presidential ticket. Manafort might wait for a while, but at his age...six years? Not likely.
 
Here’s why ‘Whitaker won’t be able to suppress’ Robert Mueller’s report after Manafort proceedings: Intel analyst

Wheeler, however, offered a specific theory on how Mueller outmaneuvered the Trump team.

She explains that Mueller made the revelation only after President Donald Trump had turned in his written answers on collusion to the special prosecutor.

“Just about the only explanation for Manafort’s actions are that — as I suggested — Trump was happy to have Manafort serve as a mole in Mueller’s investigation,” Wheeler argued. “But Mueller’s team appears to have no doubt that Manafort was lying to them. That means they didn’t really need his testimony, at all.”

“It also means they had no need to keep secrets — they could keep giving Manafort the impression that he was pulling a fast one over the prosecutors, all while reporting misleading information to Trump that he could use to fill out his open book test,” she continued. “Which increases the likelihood that Trump just submitted sworn answers to those questions full of lies.”

Man, it would be something if Trump was just completely outcoached there.

News just breaking - Manafort held secret talks with Assange in Ecuadorian embassy

A well-placed source has told the Guardian that Manafort went to see Assange around March 2016. Months later WikiLeaks released a stash of Democratic emails stolen by Russian intelligence officers.

Gotta wonder how long Mueller has known about this. He's played them like the fools that they are.

ETA: It pretty much blows the wingnut talking point "Manafort had nothing to do with Russia" out of the water. No wonder they raided his house in the beginning.
