I left the house 1.5 hours ago and Manafort was facing charges that would put him in prison for life. I'm back now and Manafort is facing charges that would put him in prison for life. There's a lot of hot air being generated over what has happened in last 1.5 hours.

This superseding seems to be a tactical move, in advance of Manafort filing his response to Mueller's motion to revoke bail today. It's a lot more obvious he was suborning perjury if Kilimnik is on the indictment.

But Manafort has likely been shopping for the most fashionable Italian orange striped jumpsuit anyway, given the motion to revoke bail.

Last I checked Kilimnik was in Russia. Even if RU had an extradition treaty with us, my guess is Vladimir Putin is not going to extradite Kilimnik so long as Trump keeps trying to get RU back in the G-8.

I think you're confusing guilty pleas with indictments. And by confusing that you're ignoring cooperating witnesses, which at this stage of an investigation are significantly more important than number of indictments.

true, but I guess my point (and yours?) is there's better metrics than just counting indictments

And by any legit measure Mueller has laid the ground work for a very serious legal case.
