Yes!!!!!!!!
Got Nick Ackermann on the phone, saying it's a flight risk, and therefore sealed. Could also be someone we haven't heard of before.
Talking Manafort now. Cohen, 45's lawyer, and strange, possibly illegal transactions.
Nick says he guesses it's about direct russian collusion. All speculation.
Bringing on another former prosecutor: Paul Fishman. He says possible Manafort, Flynn, obstruction of justice...but that Mueller wouldn't do this at all unless he felt he had sufficient evidence to CONVICT!!!
Saying there's always a reason to seal: either to keep the secret until they can tell the lawyer, or to not tipoff other targets that they're next. Possible it could be used to apply pressure to cough up a bigger fish.
Also possible arrests could be made this weekend, or that mueller might make announcements monday.
That's it: MORE WINE!!!!!!

(20,784 posts)but CNN sites 2 good sources say there are charges. Federal grand jury in DC, today. No idea who or how many.
She says there were lots of very reliable sources saying this was about to happen.
Barbara McQuaid on now: former fed prosecutor:
Saying that grand juries hear evidence and then approve indictments.
Saying that if the accused establishes a relationship with their lawyer and Mueller, they may not be arrested, but come in voluntarily to a court appearance.
Rachel asking about Manafort's "no-knock" raid: and that if these actions are about pressuring witnesses to talk: Barbara says probably not. Barbara thinks it's real.
