Does anyone know if any of the charges are state charges or are they all federal? (In all the news references I've seen, I don't think I've seen anyone make the distinction.)
I heard Mueller was going to be working with some states to ensure there would be charges for which Trump couldn't just pardon the offender. Not sure if that was the case here though. |

The topic is Mueller's Grand Jury, which has Podesta under investigation, who resigns the same day these indictments come. Not "diverting attention" at all. It's not my fault that you think everything is about your silly Trump/Putin conspiracy theory, and it's certainly not my fault that you have a habit of posting before thinking. |

Can anyone say "unindicted co-conspirator"?

It's been reported that he's coordinating with NY AG. I saw this in the news some weeks ago otherwise I'd post a link.

I've got a great sense of humour. I have better humour than most people. People tell me all the time, you wouldn't believe. I told a joke the other day, and someone told me -- someone who's a humour professional, 25 years you know -- he told me that is was the best joke he ever heard. He'd never laughed that much. Whole crowds laugh at my jokes -- much larger crowds than Obama and they laugh a lot more. Believe me.

First for anyone that doesn't know, John Podesta and Tony Podesta are brothers, not one in the same. Tony Podesta was apparently involved in kickbacks related to the Uranium One dealing. But to read these two articles: Snopes vs Forbes, you'd think you were reading about separate affairs.

Wasn't it then that Ryan &co were"joking" about how Trump was in the pocket of the Kremlin?
