The little elves are hard at work today.

[Dave Starsky]

The hand-wringers and concern trolls are pouring in here like the wights at the Battle of Winterfell.

Either Mueller's statement yesterday did a lot of damage to the orange clown, or there is something even worse for him about to come down.

[GusBob]

A U.S. judge ordered prosecutors to make public a transcript of a voicemail from someone trying dissuade former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn from fully cooperating with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Handed over to Mueller’s team during the probe, the message was one of several in which Flynn or his lawyers were contacted by people linked to the Trump administration and Congress, according to court papers made public Thursday.

Flynn told the government about a number of contacts “that could have affected both his willingness to cooperate and the completeness of his cooperation,” U.S. Attorneys Brandon Van Grack and Zainab Ahmad said in an unsealed filing prepared for Flynn’s sentencing last December.

On Thursday, Sullivan ordered transcripts of the phone message and of Flynn’s conversations with Russian officials to be posted on the court’s publicly-available electronic docket by May 31.He also ordered that unredacted portions of the Mueller report related to Flynn be handed over to him.

[True Blue American]

12. CNN is making fun of Trump. He was ranting about

Mueller and Comey being friends.Trump is really getting desperate.

Someone said on one of the morning shows that the staff was hiding knives and sharp objects

Joke or fact!

13. Hazelnut for me!:)

[Hekate]

18. Yum. Currently Peet's Major Dickason's Blend for us...

But I have to admit I've lapsed from the True Way of Coffee (ie grinding whole beans) -- I got a Keurig a couple of years ago.

[malaise]

21. Blue Mountain or Java?

I grind beans in the blender but we do have a french press that someone gave us.

[True Blue American]

22. I have to be honest.

Have tried all kinds, coffee makers.

A few years ago my DIL, who is actually a Food Scientist, great cook, made coffee that everyone had to add water to. made a pot Of Hazelnut, bought me some when I complimented her on her coffee. Brought out my old Presto perk, then bought a 6 cup one. Black.

[TruckFump]

7. I am assuming that the transcript will identify the author, but

the article was silent on this. Do you have any info on weather we will know who sent it?

(I am hoping for Pence, but IMO he is too slimy to let anything stick to himself.)

[malaise]

11. Pence would be fabulous - worth pounds

Don't have a clue

[Leghorn21]

24. Hey look, malaise! I went agooglin, and here's Judge Sullivan's court website!

Tune in at 12:01 tonight for the latest on this particular traitor

IIIIIIIIIIIIII caaaaaannnnnnnnn’t WAIT!!!!


YEAH, SMILE, MOTHERFUCKER

[DesertRat]

10. This should be interesting

[ooky]

8. The major networks on evening news did a lot of damage to the Orange Clown

last night. It was a good day overall for Democrats.

[True Blue American]

23. Still on it today.

They are actually calling his lies, lies, making fun

[empedocles]

9. A possible flip of the important Andrew Miller, mentioned by Empty Wheel'

Sealed indictment filed?

[Politicub]

14. It's days like this when I appreciate the ignore function.

I was just thinking there is more concern trolling than usual.

Yesterday was a blockbuster.

[Karadeniz]

15. Isn't this the judge who disregarded legal precision to say that Flynn s behavior was a good

imitation of treason? He walked that back, but said he didn't agree with the light sentencing recommendation. He seems to want people to appreciate the severity of campaign activity.

[ananda]

16. Probably both .. yesterday's damage and something worse to come!

17. Does the situation require a community sock wash?

I happen to be at the laundromat, and there are lots of available machines.

[Hekate]

20. Glad I'm not alone in noticing this phenomenon. Yikes. So you think it's a species of flop sweat? nt
