      I feel like they should’ve asked for more time to respond to the two additional oppositions dropping tonight (iirc) too. They’ve got a lot of homework to do.

      Given Manafort's Hail Mary today to force Mueller to stop piling on the indictments, I wonder whether it's time to respond they need to time to reassess their not-flipping strategy.

      @emptywheel Why would Manafort flip now if he didn't earlier?

      Because Mueller is about to indict him with something he really doesn't want to be indicted for? I was thinking it was just Deripaska charges but maybe it's something even more onerous.

      Note Mueller technically included Deripaska charges in the scope of his response the other day. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/04/03/about-the-oleg-deripaska-reference-in-the-mueller-memo/ …

      Why would a new indictment make things any worse for Manafort? He's already facing a sentence that he won't outlive.

      Possibly bc the next indictment won't be easily pardoned?

      Replying to @emptywheel @nycsouthpaw @qjurecic

      Why not? I think Manafort is too hot to pardon for anything right now, but I've long assumed a last-day-in-office pardon is quite possible.

      Oh, I can imagine some charges (or co-conspirator indictments) that would be too toxic even for last day pardons.

      The coming adverse rulings both in this civil attack and indictment dismissal motion are going to severely damage the Fox News / Mueller illegitimacy crowd TPs

      Nothing can pop that bubble. Sara Carter will just write another nonsense piece that says FISA FISA FISA over and over.

          Yes. Over and over and over. WHich is why those of us who know even a teeny bit about FISA make jokes about it. Because she's an out and out shitshow on the topic.

          Can you link to any articles or reports in the press where she was forced to redact or delete incorrect reporting?

          She doesn't redact (tho this story she made to clarifications that made the problems worse). But I've been laughing my ass off at her shitshow since last year. She's totally ignorant not just about the law, but even what the document she's been handed are.

          The Mediate article is correct in that she is doggedly chasing the FISA story. She seems to have a source(s). There are people who have no problem with the push for the original unredacted FISA documents to be produced for the HPSCI. Why would the DOJ & the FBI balk?

          Because 1) it's clear this is not about oversight, 2) it's clear if it were about oversight this HPSCI would do nothing to fix it 3) her sources also know fuckall 4) this process has led to leaks, all to protect a suspected spy.

          1. What would you call it? The Partisan Conspiracy Busters? What would Dems call it? 2. That remains to be seen, however I suspect your statement would be true of a different group of HPSCI Reps as well. 3. They know enough. She is getting info other reporters aren’t.
