.@kathygriffin breaks down in tears describing the MAGA folks doxxing her -- and sending her cancer-stricken sister death threats until the day she died.


"'I plead guilty' these are words Paul Manafort's legal team once suggested the former Trump campaign manager would never utter," says @jaketapper as he reports on Manafort's cooperation deal with Mueller


New per plea agreement: Manafort has agreed to do everything the government could want: Meet with investigators without his lawyer, give them documents, testify against others, and put off his sentencing until prosecutors are satisfied. And to tell the truth.


Maybe your pick for SCOTUS isn't so ideal when you knew you had to get statements of 65 women who *weren't* raped by Brett Kavanaugh before anyone even mentioned that he might be a sexual predator . . .


FBI background checks are less than complete. This is a non answer. Clarence Thomas had a background check before Anita Hill came forward. Seldom is a sexual assault an isolated incident, rather part of a pattern. Sexual assualt runs from inappropriate touching to rape!


LATEST: Prosecutors revealed in court this morning that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort completed a successful meeting with investigators in which he offered them information they consider valuable.


Manafort's plea deal requires him to cooperate "in any and ALL matters" deemed relevant by the Government. Of course, Mueller certainly would deem election-related crimes by @realDonaldTrump, his spawn, and Kush "relevant."

This memo attached to the new criminal information says, among other things, that Sen. Dick Lugar quietly assured Manafort he would hold up a Senate resolution about Tymoshenko that Yanukovych was eager to defeat—but then Sen. Dick Durbin outmaneuvered him


Prosecutors on Friday brought in the felony counts against Manafort down from seven to just two: conspiracy against the U.S. and conspiracy to obstruct justice

Document: Superseding Criminal Information Against Paul Manafort


Special Counsel’s office confirms a Manafort guilty plea is imminent. It looks like they’re having him plead to the whole litany of charges in the indictment, which almost definitely means no cooperation deal was struck.

Skripal poisonings: So state-run Russian TV, Russia Today, had the two GRU officers on to claim they were tourists in Salisbury. This is crude but classic KGB active measures op. You have to remember that Russia Today are a information warfare branch of Russian special services.
