For those worried about the wording of today's indictments.

Remember this.

Today's indictments established that a crime was committed.

That was the purpose of the indictments. They remove the "witch hunt" thesis.

The purpose was not to tie specific Trump administration officials to this crime.

That will come.

Gotti was arrested for the killing in June 1974. With the help of famous attorney Roy Cohn, he was able to strike a plea bargain and received a four-year suspended sentence for attempted manslaughter for his part in the hit.

Roy Cohn... oh, how the POS must miss Roy Cohn - oh he did miss him, remember the POS,“Where’s my Roy Cohn?” ..on sessions recusal from Russian probe....
