It appears the lynchpin of Mueller's investigation is Manafort and Gates: The two morons who spent the months leading up to the time they took over the trump campaign, trying to defraud American banks to get millions of dollars to pay back Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska.

Deripaska, a Russian billionaire, with very close ties to Putin and the Russian mob, has filed lawsuits in Cyprus and the US against Manafort for the money that's owed him. And there is an e mail sent by Gates to a Ukrainian intermediary, offering "information" to be ****** on to Deripaska.

Gates has taken a plea deal, wherein he is to appear at any and all court proceedings Mueller wants him at, WITHOUT counsel, to answer ALL questions, and if he refuses or lies, the 31 indictments that were dropped before the deal will be reinstated, and he will go directly to jail, because he has plead guilty. It appears as if Gates doesn't want to be looking down the barrel of treason and conspiracy to commit treason charges, so he's going to sing like a canary.

This isn't "fake news." This is what went down a week ago in Mueller's investigation. Trump, his ****** and most of his administration is in DEEP, and the noose just keeps getting tighter. My guess is someone like Reince Priebus or Jeff Sessions are going to turn on them instead of being dragged down with them. The plot just keeps getting curiouser and curioser...

None of this stuff actually happened. It's all a liberal fantasy. The Trump administration continues to function like a well oiled machine!

- Trump defended his plan to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, tweeting that “trade wars are good, and easy to win.” According to two officials, however, Trump’s decision was born out of his frustration with an internal process that didn’t provide him with consensus advice from his team. As one official familiar with Trump’s state of mind said: the president became “unglued.” Investors are concerned that the tariffs could invite U.S. trade partners to retaliate. Paul Ryan and Trump’s economic advisors asked the president to reconsider the tariffs in order to avoid “unintended consequences.” (CNN / NBC News)

Bears Ears was subsequently reduced to conform to a map Hatch had provided. (New York Times)

-A Justice Department review is expected to criticize the former FBI deputy director for authorizing the disclosure of information about a continuing investigation.

Russia says it stopped Mitt Romney from becoming secretary of State: report

Russia says it stopped former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney from becoming President Trump’s secretary of State, according to The New Yorker.

The magazine, in a report about Christopher Steele, says the former British spy authored a separate dossier with “a senior Russian official” as its source. That source said individuals inside Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs claimed to have stopped Romney from becoming head of the State Department.
Steele’s memo said Russia used “unspecified channels” to request that Trump choose a secretary of State who would remove “Ukraine-related sanctions,” according to the report. The Kremlin also reportedly wanted the department's head to accommodate Russia in regards to Syria, where the Russian government has been backing President Bashar Assad in a years-long civil war.

Romney was reportedly under consideration for the State Department post, and met with Trump during the transition period. But the president ultimately chose current Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
Romney, who announced a run last month for Senate in Utah, took a tough stance on Russia during his own 2012 presidential campaign. He famously sparred with former President Obama during a debate, during which Obama chided Romney for his views on Russian aggression.

Steele compiled an unverified and controversial dossier detailing Trump's alleged ties to the Kremlin. That document became a flashpoint in the probe into Russia's election meddling and any possible ties between the Trump campaign team and Moscow.
