Paul Manafort, former Trump campaign chair and friend to Russian strongmen, has filed suit against Robert Mueller, Rob Rosentstein, and the Justice Department claiming that Mueller’s investigation is illegal.  Yep, that’s what they’re wasting time on today.

Understatement of the day comes from white collar crime attorney Sol Wisenberg, who told CNBC, “I think it’s going to be an uphill battle.  These kinds of things usually don’t prevail.”

Manafort has pulled out all the stops.  We’re popping popcorn right now.

Okay, so yesterday Donald Trump set a red line for Robert Mueller – don’t investigate my personal finances.

Mueller replies.

As part of their investigation, Mueller’s team has issued subpoenas to banks and filed requests for bank records to foreign lenders under mutual legal assistance treaties, according to two of the people familiar with the matter.

Trump’s personal finances are like a bushel basket of used wire coat hangers. And the name printed on the basket is Russia.

Everybody start saving your money because if Trump fires Mueller, we are all going to Washington DeeCee to pitch a snot-nosed hissy fit.  I’m serious.

Newt is back again, y’all.  He’s doing the Twitter thing, too.

Rethinking Made Easy: people only have integrity and honesty if they side with Dear Leader Trump and his groveling toady Newt.

Thanks to Bryan for the heads up.

Former FBI Director Robert Mueller has been named by the DOJ as special counsel in charge of the entire Russia investigation.
