??? Guess we shall see. I had my doubts about that VA judge, but it seems he's propelling this right along. Maybe that pressure is working to Mueller's advantage.

For this thread; the Eastern District, 'rocket docket' is famous in Northern Virginia [some personal experience here]. The presiding Manafort judge is most famous for speeding things up, especially in Manafort case. Yet here we have delay with no reason given. Smells like something big. Rachel very lightly hinted it could be related to Manafort, [whisper, whisper, considering a plea change]. Or could be, [my opinion] given the NRA-Russia connection arrest, is having big, immediate impacts 'elsewhere', including Manafort trial.

Rachel is extra excited tonight. Tune in.

Scared to death of those oligarch's from ruSSia who are after him who he owes all that $$$ to that he stiffed. He was in huge debt when he joined team tReasonous tRump thinking that he could not only make huge money, but also give those folks/oligarchs access to the USA lock, stock and barrel. ManFART helped in getting the GOP platform changed from what it was to the GOP of USSA platform. But, things didn't work out for him like he thought, and now he's in a mega-ton of trouble left, right and center. SO happy about that. Hope those roaches in the cell he's alleged to be in are eating his fat ass up

Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if he spoke with his attorney, and told him to ask Mueller IF he can work out a deal which would put he & his family in a Witness Protection program, because he's scared for all of their lives in exchange for him singing like a big, fat, disgusting, treasonous, grifting, gray-haired canary.

I fully expected WPP if he talks. People have a habit of falling down repeatedly until they die if they cross Putin.
