Friday is shaping up as a busy day in the Justice Department's Russia investigation.

Special counsel Robert Mueller faces deadlines in two federal courts in cases involving two former Trump insiders, a former FBI director treks up to Capitol Hill for a closed-door interview and a onetime Trump campaign adviser gets out of prison.

Here's a quick breakdown of what's on tap for the day:

* Mueller's office to detail Paul Manafort's alleged lies
* Leniency for Cohen?
* Welcome back, Comey (Comey is set to return to Capitol Hill for a transcribed interview behind closed doors with the House Judiciary and Oversight committees on Friday)

On a side note: What is the general thought of how fuc*ed the GOP might be given that Cohen was their Finance Chairman?? Any realistic potential fallout from that?

that's a giant shoe that will have to drop.
i keep forgetting that he used to hold that position because there is just so much else going on.

i hope Muller doesn't ask for any more delays.
i know my man is doing good work but i really want to start seeing fireworks.

Good question. I suspect anything illegal done by Cohen while holding that position would have been to his own benefit, completely deniable by the RNC as a whole. While any and all illegal activity and secret money was handled by individual people within the GOP to shield the activities from those who weren't in the fold.

IMPORTANT: William Barr in Nov. 2017 told NYT there was more basis to investigate the Clinton-Uranium One deal than whether Trump colluded with Russia. “To the extent it is not pursuing these matters, the department is abdicating its responsibility."

@AaronBlake

Barr also called for investigating the Clintons 9 days earlier:

"I don't think all this stuff about throwing [Clinton] in jail or ... that she should be prosecuted is appropriate, but I do think that there are things that should be investigated that haven't been investigated."
