Okay, so here’s the deal.  Manafort is set to go to trial on July 10th.  None of it is about Manafort and trump.  All of it is about Manafort and Russia.

… he is accused in cases filed both in Alexandria, Virginia and Washington, D.C. of hiding the work he did for and the money he made from a Russia-friendly political party in Ukraine and former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.

In Virginia, he is also accused of concealing foreign bank accounts, falsifying his income taxes and failing to report foreign bank accounts.

In Washington, Manafort faces counts of conspiracy to launder more than $30 million, making false statements, failing to follow lobbying disclosure laws and working as an unregistered foreign agent.

As we say in Texas, he’s in a heap o’ trouble.

Now, here’s the fun part:  Yesterday, Mueller requested 70 blank subpoenas in preparation for the trial.  Yeah, seventy. That means the odds of you or me getting subpoenaed are better than average.

Thanks to Marcia for the heads up.
