“Hold On, Cowboy”—CNN’s Toobin Tamps Down Speculation on Further Mueller Indictments
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

The MSM is salivating over the prospect that the indictments handed down by Robert Mueller of Manafort, Gates and Papadopoulos are just the first dominoes to fall in a game that will lead all the way to Donald Trump.

Exemplifying the MSM’s bloodlust is CNN counter-terrorism analyst Phil Mudd, who this morning breathlessly exclaimed, “if we think [these indictments are] the bombshell, we ain’t seen nothing yet.”

And so it came as an unexpected point of light that CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin–hardly a fan of the Trump administration–emphatically tamped down Mudd’s enthusiasm, telling him, “hold on cowboy.”

Get the rest of the story here.

Next stop for Mueller is Podesta, and his brother (allegedly sex touriists and pedophiles, the pair of 'em), who will gladly testify against Hitlery and the rest of that crooked gang of criminals if it will keep them out of prison (for obvious reasons). Thanks governsleastgovernsbest.

If Mueller was wise, he would call it a day and shut down the investigation since we all know Republicans will not call for a special investigator into Clinton misdeeds.

Mueller knows Manafort was all they were going to get and it might have been done illegally. No point on sticking around and seeing if Sessions puts his big boy pants on and does something.

Say there was no collusion, call it a day and go back to playing cards with Comey and watching reruns of Golden Girls. (That Blanche is hot hot hot)

U.S. District Court for D.C. has four sealed cases in its docket with case numbers between Papadopoulos’ (182) and Manafort’s (201).

How would Toobin know this unless further illegal leaks were coming from Mueller’s office?

It is possible to have Sealed indictments after Manafort. However, a True Bill was handed down on Friday(10/27). By friday night the news was claiming Indictments and a Monday arrest. thus any sealed indictments would have been handed down on or after 10/27. This begs the question, why is Mueller handing out certain charges just before an election and withholding others? I don’t believe that would be the case but it is possible. FWIW
