I think if target's lawyer knew, you'd have a story in the WaPost or NYT conditioning the battlefield and naming the defendant.

(fyi, Ben posts a baby cannon blowing shit up, BOOM, whenever a trump/russia story breaks)

1. He "thinks" that. I "think" he's wrong.

I think it is very likely that the target knows and that there have been negotiations this weekend over the terms of the target's surrender to the authorities.

7. Like I said -- target (Manafort) turning himself in today

almost certainly under terms worked out over the weekend.

Wittes has been watching too much television.

2. Agree with this. We're ALL going to be surprised tomorrow.

It seems like Mueller wants to maintain the element of surprise.

I also agree with previous posts that there are going to be multiple indictments. They will come one after the other so that the suspects don't have time for coordination.

3. would love for one of DU's resident lawyers to weigh in on this opinion

yes indeed

[onenote]

8. He's wrong.

9. WOOT

short and sweet

4. I expect Mueller to deliver shock and awe... He must reach the WH with the first shot. Jr. & Jared,

together with Manafort. IMO.

5. From your keyboard to this man's ears, Walker! Oh what a delicious scenario you describe!!!

6. When Jim Comey opens and closes his hand Ben Wittes' mouth moves.

No judgment, but that's his role in this situation and everything he says should be read accordingly.
