Do you think the IRA/GRU indictments describe a discrete conspiracy? My intuition is that the US-side conspiracy doesn't stand without the RU-side conspirators.

I agree. It may not just forestall pardons, it may render them legally impossible -- depending on whether a pardon can be obstruction in furtherance of a conspiracy.

Right. So I think he's waiting to see if Manafort really wants to go to trial, tidying up Stone, and otherwise is pretty close.

Strongly agreed. There are things from the GRU indictment which indicate that some of the information from the indictment could not have been obtained any later than March of 2017. DOJ could have pushed that indictment out much earlier than this summer.

Wow, yolo, don't think I've read you before! Pls tweet often in emp's timeline, which I check 1x/day but don't understand abt 30%. You're super clear. emp's regulars are too technical but not their fault bc a) it's Twitter & b) they're extracting from 15,000 underlying points.

I'm certainly clear, but remember that I don't actually know shit about shit and don't have sources.

Well, OK, maybe so. But I'm just going by your clarity (and Qs seemed pertinent enough) and the fact you got about 8 engagements in one tweet series from emptywheel, who seemed pleased to reply to your comments.
