Compared to the news revelations we have had all week, Friday morning is quiet. Too quiet.

Any idea if we're going to have a Friday night news dump?

The thing is, lots of exciting things in the Mueller investigation have happened on days other than Fridays.

However, I will say that the way lawyers work, there's a rush to finish things by Friday afternoon just so you don't have a project hanging over you on the weekend. That's perhaps why things seem to happen more on Fridays.

No TGIF afternoon 'happy hour' for them - though sometimes some hard-drinking afterwards [family responsibilities permitting].
