It is my belief that the Mueller probe is coming to a very imminent head. And also that RU will try to impose very substantial costs on the US when that happens. Spiking fossil fuel costs would be part of it.https://twitter.com/EnergzdEconomy/status/1010519211662331904 …

You think there’ll be a report in the next few months?

No. I think there will be substantial arrests -- including Roger Stone -- in the near term.

I’m not convinced Stone being arrested accelerates things anymore than previous actions. Without an official, broader narrative, Trump and friends are able to disassemble

Probably depends what they get him for and what (if anything) he eventually gives up.

Seems they need to get high enough up latter so that they can include enough in indictment, that can serve as a broader theory of the case. That’s the only way the “speaking thru indictments” works to counter the info war

Yes. Not sure if you've read my stuff on ConFraudUs, and why (I think) Mueller is using it? https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/02/17/the-conspiracy-to-defraud-the-united-states-backbone-of-the-internet-research-agency-and-manafort-indictments/ …

Agreed, but for the Con Fraud to work in the way I think we’re both thinking about it, it will require multiple arrests/indictments, so Stone and more, with that charge. Or it will be a drop in bucket, that the Fdrlsts types will explain away, and we’ll continue to trickle along
