        From Ms. Wheeler, who has proven to be a sharper observer of this whole storm than almost anyone else: - Don’t expect big Trump/Russia news out of “dry” Manafort tax trial. - be skeptical of trial news not coming from @JoshGerstein or @ZoeTillman .pic.twitter.com/xv0zAkW2gR

        Not JUST those two. But be skeptical of any BREAKING news mid-day, as that's more likely to come from irresponsible reporter.

        Gotcha. Anyone LEAVING the courtroom to blast out some PIECE of the story mid-day, is necessarily uninterested in getting the WHOLE story. [your meaning got twisted in my summary. I’m sorry. I meant: “there are Solid reporters in attendance — give them time to report”]

        Right. I mean, many outlets may have two or three journos covering it which would make it possible to break news (or to do mid-day updates). But remember that anyone leaving the court room will be missing details.

        When you leave your device in the cafe, how do you know it will still be there when you come out? Asking for a friend.

        It's pretty crazy, tbh. The cafe charges (I forget how much -- $1?$5?) and puts them in little cubby holes behind the counter. It'd be a great CI target.

        You still have to cross the square to get there. I mean goodie for them they decided to dump the $$. I told teh outlet that wanted to send me not to bother.

        Since the person you went to FBI about must know now is there public behavior we can see that would help us guess and did you wait to go public until you had testified to a grand jury?

        I did not testify to GJ at all. I told FBI if they subpoenaed me I'd fight one.

        “...why Michael Cohen’s very competent attorney is letting him leak to the press rather than (or, at best, in parallel with) offering a proffer to the Feds.” I’ve thought about this but can’t figure it out- can you help?

        He may not have as much as the press believes to offer wrt the Mueller inquiry (as opposed to wrt other aspects of Trumplandia). He may have been pitching one last bid for Trump favor.

        Also, Cohen may be the path to implicating Don Jr and Weisselberg rather than Trump himself

        What if Manafort really doesn’t have any dirt on Trump? It’s possible.

        One other warning, all it takes is one tRumpite to slip thru voir dire and jury selection to hang a jury. Is acquittal possible. Almost certainly not. But.. . . . . . .
