$20 worth of pot to a policeman, and that s going to make it judges don t live in a vacuum. they hear and see this stuff, too. and besides the manafort sentencing tomorrow there s also roger stone s hearing on thursday and a sentencing update for rick gates on friday. are all of these developments a sign that mueller s report is imminent, shimon prokupecz? i do think that these main core players of this investigation and cooperators is all really wrapped up. when you look at michael flynn, we had an update on him today, he s essentially done cooperating. paul manafort was the first person indicted, first person that the mueller team, you know, essentially indicted was a main player in this entire investigation. remember it was before judge berman jackson, which is where tomorrow s proceedings is, where we learned that paul manafort in this meeting with cilimnic was
