Wow wow wow.

For two years, two consistent themes have characterized the Russia investigation:
- Trump campaign officials and advisors were in regular contact with Kremlin-tied Russians and a Russian cutout (Wikileaks)
- Those officials and advisors repeatedly lied about those contacts.— Jim Sciutto (@jimsciutto) January 25, 2019

Virtually the only thing that's new in Stone indictment is that 1) campaign sent HIM out to contact WL 2) They're playing hardball.

Maybe Trump is innocent even though his political guru, legal fixer, campaign manager (& deputy) & national security adviser were crooked.

John Brennan: "To me, all these indictments are going to be basically the compendium of the Robert Mueller investigation ... I expect there to be a significant number, and a significant number of names that are going to be quite familiar to the average American." @MSNBC

And as I predicted, once Trump's approval rating dropped below 35 (down to 34 this week), the Senate Republicans would start panicking, and that's just what we're seeing now.
The shutdown is over.
Trump's enablers know it.
The Senate GOP knows it.
The only reason for the delay now is for Republicans to beg for some face-saving action so that Donald Trump isn't further humiliated.
Guess what?
Too late. Reap it.https://t.co/ksFqFvvyIC— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) January 24, 2019
