I suspect, more than expecting this will get the charges thrown out (esp since Manafort is, by his own decision, fighting charges in two districts), he's trying to get Mueller to lay out The Other Shit that's coming down the pike, which Mueller has deferred.

This really is telling. Desperately grasping at straws. He knows he's going away. In that light, fascinating that he isn't cooperating. In aftermath of UK nerve agent attack, not hard to fathom his calculus. It's what the Brits call 'Hobson's choice.'

I don't think it's grasping. It buys time. It is a way to collect information. I don't even think that requires assuming assassination his biggest worry. News reports are that Trump may move to bring in Pruitt to fire Mueller. Can you blame him for delaying?

Yes, agree that pleadings buy time, and who knows what might turn up. So, not dumb. I take your points.

Thanks! I covered the Libby and Kiriakou case. I'm familiar with SC authority.

If you have a big enough bankroll to try every long-odds defence, why not? You won’t win the lotto if you don’t try.
