        I'm just a bit confused... Isn't the ability to make those changes/edits native to adobe Acrobat in 2016?

        As well as some excellent third party software ... including some inexpensive apps on your phone that could have done it. Does Gates run over to Manafort’s house to stop the VCR and DVD player clocks from blinking 12:00??

        What's missing of importance here is that Mueller should be referring evidence of such violations to the proper departments for prosecution. He has come up with no indictments for collusion.Mueller is simply milking the cash cow for as much of our money he can lay his hands on.

        Read the appointment letter. Any federal crime he uncovers is within his purview.

        I noted in a previous post about that being a part of the problem. Others have noted it too. Fault there lies with Congress and the Obama appointed AG. (Sessions recused himself recall)

        Trump appointed Rosenstein. And you can thank Ken Starr for setting the precedent of wide Special Counsel latitude.

        I agree concerning Starr. And note that Clinton may be considered to have given Rosenstein his start at Justice. Trump does not make wise decisions quite often, in my opinion. He was 100% unprepared to be President, but better choice still than Hillary Clinton.

        We’ll see. Hillary would have been bad, but I think this is going to get much worse.

        I don't see that, unless Democrats get the House and Senate this cycle. I messaged Pence several times encouraging he accept the offer, but cautioned that I felt Trump was wrong for the job and it could be rough going as I saw trump as one not subject to accepting good counsel.

        Dems more scared of Pence. Surprised GOP doesn’t push Trump out before Nov because he will be impeached when Dems win house. Senate won’t convict tho regsrdless

        Or that he couldn't convert the document to a PDF himself. These folks are bad at crime.

        The FBI knew about him and his ties to a dictator in Ukraine but let him go because ten million dollars was "jump change." NOW when there's no nothing burger it matters.

        Ms. Wheeler, can you please explain why similar forensic data about Trump campaign mailing activities is not in public reporting? Is it because that Trump lawyers haven't provided emails to other investigators besides Meuller's team?

        Sheepishly, I admit to having problems when placing images in Word docs and getting the images to line up exactly the way I want. But track changes? Sheesh, that's one of the easier things to do.

        Ten million Trump buyout when Manafort left campaign, Paul had a ten million assessment putting his house up for bail. Asset swap!
