        I mean, John Dowd and Rudy G and Sarah HS can claim this is not a BF deal. But Mueller sure seems to think it's a BF deal. [So do I.]

        That was the most dramatic moment, all of them walking in. Also there were Rhee, Zelinsky, Freeny, Dreeben (who sat in the public seats), Carr, and many others I didn't recognize.

        Weissman and Rhee seemed to be the head people in the room, from my read of things.

        There was also one lawyer sitting at the government table (with AW, GA, JR, KF, and the two FBI guys) who I didn't recognize. Woman. Not Prelogar. Didn't catch her name when Weissman said it.

        Not Rhee or Freeny? Zainab Ahmad?

        Rhee and Freeny were also at the table. Not Ahmad. I've been looking through every reported list I can find of Mueller prosecutors and haven't found anyone but them and Prelogar. She definitely had an "sh" sound at the end of her name. She kind of looked like Kristen Wiig...

        Interesting. She also could be from a related case that we haven't IDed yet, one that (say) DC is handling.

        Mueller put his largest investigative effort into breaking Manafort, which indicates whatever he has to say is the core of the case against Trump.

        We don't actually know that. There are still a number of prosecutors whose work we haven't seen.

        We don’t know what we don’t know, but it seems like he had the best prosecutors on it and big-picture these charges unrelated to the election were to pressure PM. Manafort can likely implicate Trump & Jr too. All those Mueller people attending means something big.

        Even Dreeben was there. He's not working with the SC full time.

        Mueller & his team are absolute heroes. Are there medals for what they’re doing? If not, we need to create some.

        Can we dream? The next President, a Democrat, awards them each a Medal of Freedom right after the signing ceremony for bulwark legislation that puts real teeth back into all our official corruption laws! 🤞🏻
