This investigation was brought to you by...Dexedrine! Dexedrine, for when you've been appointed to investigate an administration, quite possibly everybody in it is a hilariously stupid criminal, and you may be on an artificial timeline because your supervisor may be replaced with a Trump toadie at any moment.

New charges have been filed in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's criminal case against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and aide Rick Gates, but the charges were put under seal by the court, obscuring the nature and import of the development.

The new charging document filed in federal court in Washington could be a superseding indictment, adding new charges or even new defendants to the charges filed last October, accusing Manafort and Gates of money laundering and failing to register as foreign agents for their work related to Ukraine, among other crimes.

Mueller is squeezing Manafort, who he likely needs to proceed effectively against the West Wing cadre. I find it hard to believe Manafort wants to die in a US or Ukranian prison.

Maybe Trump has let him know that there is a pardon for him. OTH, Manafort should know that Trump can't protect him from Eric Schneiderman.

That certainly seems to be the idea. Manafort is a stubborn one, to be sure, but at this pace Mueller may be ready to start moving against the inner circle by some time in late Spring.
