Twice during election season, Richard Burr claimed his committee hadn't found any hard evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. But we now know his committee referred at least two people to Mueller's office for lying about the funding to Trump from GRU-tied people.

All the analysis about whether you can indict a sitting President focuses on the President's natural person. This President also exists as a corporate person.

Michael Cohen has probably given Mueller a great overview of Trump's sleazy business practices. But two past events, in particular, were probably particularly useful to the investigation: Trump's 2011 trial balloon for a presidential run (which was funded by Trump Org), and the negotiations around the 2013 Miss Universe pageant.

Michael Cohen's plea reveals he continued to pursue a Trump Tower deal -- with the assistance of Putin's office -- until the day the DNC hack was exposed.

One excuse Trump has given for refusing to sit for an interview is that none of this really affects him directly, so Mueller has no need to engage in back-and-forth with him. It's quite likely that a Corsi indictment and a Manafort sentencing report could be public within the next month alleging that both of the claims Trump made are false. While I still doubt Mueller would wait for a Trump interview, any inconsistency between Mueller's evidence and Trump's answers would make it far easier to demand an interview. 

Given Jerome Corsi's lawyer's comments, it appears he prepared the lies he told to prosecutors on September 6.

Paul Manafort just did something very stupid.
