Sesame Street? Come on. It was a stuffed toy? All the rage a few years ago for Christmas? ring a bell?

There are 70 blank subpoenas waiting to be filed, as I understand it, today. These pertain to the Manafort trial. Jonathan Turley said these are all done in sets, so it means 35 "witnesses." My question is, could some of those 35 be for documents rather than people? @xtomx is a lawyer. Since Donald Jr. was in the "adoption" meeting, I think there's a pretty good chance he's one of the subpoenas. If that happens, I suspect Senior will freak the hell out. Stay tuned.
TrumpCo lawyers were frantically trying to get the facts straight ( I know, impossible with the Trump Crime Family) before the Donnie Jr Russian Trump Tower meeting story broke to the public in July 2017: That deluge did follow in early July 2017, when The New York Times first reported on the Trump Tower meeting. And behind the scenes, the two attorneys expanded their efforts to contain the public relations fiasco by coordinating the public response to the report with the White House and several of the meeting's participants, the newly released Senate Judiciary Committee transcripts show. Together, Garten and Futerfas spoke with Trump Jr., Goldstone, Emin Agalarov, the son of a Russian oligarch, and Ike Kaveladze, a business associate of Agalarov's father, Aras Agalarov, a prominent oligarch and property developer in Russia, in the month before the bombshell report. After initially reaching out by phone, Garten emailed Goldstone on June 2 and June 5 to ask about the names of participants in the meeting. "The name of the woman who was the attorney who spoke at the meeting from Moscow was Natalya Veselnitskaia (sic) Hope this helps," Goldstone told Garten in a June 2 email. "Hope this helps." https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/16/politics/trump-tower-meeting-response/index.html
This is one of the reasons that Team Treason's latest media strategy failed so utterly You need to get an actual defensible timeline and narrative down, and then defend that line tooth and nail no matter how grim. They started to do that with talk of what payments happened when and hinting of a narrative that Trump only found out about the Stormy payment in 2017 But then they walked parts of that back - presumably because it's not tenable Whoops
This is the Trump MO for decades. Make everything so opaque and complicated that most give up pursuing it. It becomes costly for the average Trump Taj Mahal contractor to fight him. For the ones that stick to the facts like with the Trump U. fraud case and now with Stormy, TrumpCo quietly fesses up and cuts a deal and moves on to the next grift. He'll be boxed into a corner by Team Mueller too.
Manafort's former son-in-law Jeffrey Yohai pleads guilty and will cooperate with prosecutors The former son-in-law of Paul Manafort, the one-time chairman of President Donald Trump's campaign, has cut a plea deal with the Justice Department that requires him to cooperate with other criminal probes, two people with knowledge of the matter said. The guilty plea agreement, which is under seal and has not been previously reported, could add to the legal pressure on Manafort, who is facing two indictments brought by Special Counsel Robert Mueller in his probe of alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. Manafort has been indicted in federal courts in Washington and Virginia with charges ranging from tax evasion to bank fraud and has pleaded not guilty to the charges. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/17/man...w-cuts-plea-deal-with-government-reuters.html

He's going to start real basic. "Russia is the largest country on earth with a population of approximately 140 million"

"Not a lot of people know this, but in Russia, they have their own alphabet. At first glance, it looks like ours, but people are saying that if you look closely, a lot of the letters look different. Not a lot of people know this."
Here is a view from the UK with our own Brexit Russian ties. Cadwalladr and a guy called James Patrick have done some outstanding work over the past couple of years investigating this. Banks is a true scumbag, he would sell his own grandmother if it made him some money. Dear America, you need to get to grips with story dominating UK press. Today, we reveal how Russian ambassador groomed the funders of Brexit campaign with offer of sweetheart deal. That's the Brexit campaign led by Bannon friend & Trump ally @Nigel_Faragehttps://t.co/4ZRLW34kyO— Carole Cadwalladr (@carolecadwalla) June 10, 2018
It's a concerted effort by the Russians to destabilize the West. Putey is jealous of our freedoms and looks to authoritarian forces here, in Britain & France to push his agenda.
