    Why do people give so many baby cannon shits when we learn an incremental advance in the Mueller probe? We are seeing shadows on the wall of a cave and frankly missing the most interesting bits.

        The shit you're seeing in the press? It's either defendants or their friends trying to coordinate stories, or it's just a lead. Shit doesn't matter until it's far more than a lead. And Mueller, bc he's good at his job, isn't going to show us that.

        Because most of us aren't experts in what we're seeing, and most of us hate the idiot President and his idiot family and idiot Cabinet, so small tidbits are exciting. Why do people like Star Wars teasers?

        By "relevant" you mean "often devoid of any proof it'll lead to real progress." Nah.

        Yeah. But like the unmasking stuff, it reflects inadequate understanding of what's going on.

        Incremental advances help us feel progress is being made, that people are out there building the foundations of the restoration.

        Absolutely true, & frankly we don’t want Mueller to reveal anything but the rock solid cases he’s crafting which will be done when they’re done. But important contributions have been uncovered outside the investigation which helps us cope with living in Trump’s hell world.

        Papadopoulos, Gates and Manafort are solid enough to get a guilty plea and a search warrant or three. And their lawyers will defend them to the utmost degree. ;-)

        People can’t sleep so welcome a little relief. The cannon fathers usually post weedy stuff as well - either threads or at Lawfare. However, none so deeply weedy as our EW.
