Another Defector Dead in WashingtonThe Russians are playing a divide and conquer game within NATO and it’s members. If they were to assinate a Russian on American soil, the American public would demand action/sanctions. This would bring NATO together.
I would think the Russians will keep their fun centered in Europe. For now.
Prediction: Manafort is convicted of all counts, jury is out less then 3 days.
The defense has filed a motion for dismissal of all charges, and the judge sealed the proceedings for that session, but will release when the trial is over. I think the dismissal is procedural and a long shot. The charges will stand. I can't even predict what will happen going forward. I think Trump would have no political blowback from his party by pardoning Manafort. It's a matter of what he wants to do.
FBI breaks its silence and says this about why it overruled internal call to demote/suspend Strzok. "The Deputy Director .. has the delegated authority to review and modify any disciplinary findings and/or penalty as deemed necessary in the best interest of the FBI" Our piece:

if the deliberations take more than a day that's a bad sign for prosecutors. 3 hours tops to be honest.
Peter Strzok got fired from the FBI, the prosecution in the Manafort trail rested their case against him, and spent his morning attacking Omarosa and Stzrok on Twitter.I can't see any of the tweets.
WTF happened today?
