Indictment-O-Rama Megathread: Mueller indicts 13 Russians

[Virginiá]

All I can say is... poor Ed Gillespie lol

Don't worry, I'm sure Ed is already hard at work creating his next ads to even things out:

"Northam phone contact list leaked; Six rapists on speed dial"

"Sweatshop operator busted in Bangladesh, tells authorities Ralph Northam forced him to employ children. Keep Ralph away from children and vote Gillespie."

KingSweden, would you like to do the honors with the Nuclear Elmo?

I think we've already had one or two Elmos. They are buried in the first 4 - 5 pages, with all the cat spam.

If only it were Roger Stone.  He sure is acting like a guilty man.

Imagine how they're feeling in the White House.

Looks like I was ahead of the curve with my Trump and Mueller signature. lol

"Searching for crimes"

What is an investigation?

A crime occurs, and you investigate to find evidence of that crime.

Imagine if a cop just went to your house right now, and said "Let me dig through your entire house and computer to find (ILLEGAL something)."

"Where's your warrant?" is the correct answer here.

[Pericles]

Looks like I was ahead of the curve with my Trump and Mueller signature. lol

Let's hope so.

[Santander]

So you just admitted they're just searching for crimes?

Unfortunately, that is what happens when you try to fire the FBI.

Excellent indeed. We do not know. It's a sealed indictment. I suspect that there already are some unmarked cars assigned to the FBI lurking near driveways in case someone on the list of possible targets attempts to take off for a fall foliage trip, or even to a grocery store. You can be sure that the marshals or special agents know by heart what cars the likely suspects own and drive.

We have only bits and pieces. Robert Mueller has done a fine job of keeping secrets.

He'll be too damaged and Dems will win 2018 to accomplish much more than Trump and at least he's sane.

I know that feeling, but seeing the utter shame and humiliation Trump would endure might make it worth it.

Trump team’s response to Russia news: Focus on Clinton, leaks or anything else

You must be logged in to read this quote.

In an administration not so infamously incompetent, I might find utter unpreparedness to be a possibly indicication of innocence. But from Trump and his administration, who would struggle to pour spit out of a boot with instructions printed on the heel, incompetence seems par for he course. And that's before accounting for the utter inability to cope with any reality unflattering to their boss' ego.

Any campaign innocent of wrong-doing has little need to adopt a 'wait and see' position on pending charges. The combination of desperate deflection, resignation and rage tells me that they're guilty, and they know they're guilty. The outrage we're seeing is that of the kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

It's all enough to make me wonder if Lewandowski's comment about, "the continued lies of the Clinton administration" means that they Russians did interfere with results, and the Trump campaign knew about it.

Best thing I saw yesterday:

"Game: If you live near Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Mike Flynn, or any of Team Trump, go trick-or-treating at their house as a cop. At 6 a.m."

[The Mikado]

Mueller really should've held off ONE more day and released the indictments on Tuesday, Halloween.

I wonder if Manafort, Flynn, etc. will get any trick-or-treaters dressed as cops.
