The market may be free, but you aren't free of the market.

Rather than write a sentencing memo, George Papadopoulos has written a bid for a pardon.

In an effort to claim that everything that one of DOJ's top experts on Russian organized crime, Bruce Ohr, was doing in 2016 amounted to a conspiracy against Donald Trump, the frothy right has confused Trump with Oleg Deripaska.

Murray Waas has a second story on how his reporting--which repeats narratives that are not true--provides the best proof that Trump obstructed the investigation.

Back in March, Paul Manafort refused to waive venue on the charges based in VA, which led to two trials. It was, at least in part, a bid to separate the easier tax charges from the more exotic FARA ones, and to get before more friendly jurors. It doesn't appear to have worked.

Andy McCarthy has been operating under the same misconception that the Lawfare crowd recently was: that the entire Russian investigation was under Mueller from the start. It wasn't. Something made him subsume those parts of the investigation.

When Michael Cohen got raided, the Trump team wailed mightily about needing someone outside the government to review his materials for privilege claims. A half million dollar bill later, they still had to turn over 6,200 items out of government hands, including 57 files they had specific concerns about.

In addition to quashing stories about Donald Trump's mistresses, David Pecker also helped Roger Stone smear Ted Cruz during a period we know Mueller is investigating.

Richard Burr seems intent on declaring that the Senate Intelligence Committee has found no evidence of a conspiracy between Trump and Russia, but also worried that someone might, in the future, point to something the committee chose not to look for.
