Why did you post this in this thread? Rick Gates charges have zero to do with Trump or Russian collusion.
Poor TSA. Said none of Trump's campaign members would be indicted. Lordy!

‘Bet against the president’: Senior White House official’s lawyer predicts Trump indictment in next 2-3 months
According to two lawyers who have clients who have been swept up in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the Donald Trump administration,
they believe that the president may be indicted for obstruction of justice within the next few months.
In an interview with Politico, the lawyers — who asked to remain anonymous to protect their clients — said that
they don’t exactly what Mueller’s plans are, but
the line of questioning indicates that he is going hard at Trump for blocking the inquiry.

Rachel Maddow Shows No Mercy In Shredding The Flimsy Argument Behind The Scam GOP Memo
That’s what this dumb memo is all about.
This memo you’ve been hearing so much about,
the memo that is apparently going to be released tomorrow over the vehement objections of the Justice Department and the FBI
because it contains information about how FISA court works and
how FISA court warrants are adjudicated and
what kind of surveillance the government does on targets that it believes are foreign agents.
That memo that has been the attention of so much media attention and so much excitement on the right over the past few weeks –
what’s that memo about?
That memo is a House Republican effort to
try to make you believe that either the third or fourth renewal of that surveillance warrant against Carter Page is a terrible scandal.
How could anybody approve that?
There are multiple reports that
President Trump fervently believes this memo is what he needs to end the Mueller investigation.
Because this memo will make America believe that only terrible, what,
Clinton stooges would support the third or fourth renewal of a surveillance warrant on the guy who’s been on the FBI counter-intelligence radar since at least 2013
when he played a starring role as the enthusiastic idiot in a convicted Russian spy ring in New York,
who then later turned up multiple times in Moscow denouncing the United States,
praising Vladimir Putin and
trying to get Russian business deals for himself,
with Russian state-run companies,
while meeting with Russian government officials.

The Republican Plot Against the F.B.I.
By THE EDITORIAL BOARD
So this is what a partisan witch hunt really looks like.
In a demonstration of unbridled self-interest and bottomless bad faith, the Trump White House and its Republican minions in Congress are on the cusp of releasing a “memo” that purports to do ent the biggest political scandal since Watergate.
To pull it off,
they are undermining the credibility of the law enforcement community that Republicans once defended so ardently,
on the noble-sounding claim that the American public must know the truth.
Don’t fall for it.
Reports suggest that the three-and-a-half-page do ent — produced by the staff of Representative Devin
Nunes (R-White House), who somehow still leads the House Intelligence Committee despite his own record of shilling for President Trump,
and who is supposed to be recused from these matters —
has nothing to do with truth or accountability.
Rather, it appears to be
misleading propaganda from people who are terrified by the Russia investigation and determined to derail it by any means necessary.
Mr. Nunes’s cut-and-paste job ostensibly shows that anti-Trump F.B.I. investigators conspired to trick a federal intelligence court into granting them a warrant to spy on a former Trump campaign adviser,
Carter Page, because of his Russian connections — in that way corrupting the entire Russia investigation from the start.
How did the investigators manage this feat?
By relying on a dossier prepared by a former British intelligence agent, Christopher Steele, but hiding from the court that Mr. Steele’s work was being funded byDemocrats, including Hillary Clinton’s campaign, and thus was hopelessly biased.
There’s so much deception and obfuscation going on here that it’s hard to know where to start.
First,
Mr. Nunes and his fellow Republicans have treated the dossier like the holy grail for the Russia investigation,
but it didn’t reach the F.B.I. until the inquiry was already underway — prompted in mid-2016 by su ious contacts between Russians and George Papadopoulos, a foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign. Mr. Papadopoulos has pleaded guilty to lying about those contacts and is now cooperating with the special counsel’s investigation.
Second,
the F.B.I. didn’t zero in on Mr. Page for the of it. He has been in the government’s sights since 2013, when investigators learned he was being targeted for recruitment by a Russian agent. To obtain a warrant to spy on someone like Mr. Page, an American citizen, investigators must show probable cause that he is working as a foreign intelligence agent.
This would require reams of do entary and other evidence gathered over the years, of which the dossier would have been only one part. In addition, the 90-day warrant for Mr. Page has already been extended at least once, which means investigators had to show the intelligence court new information, beyond the dossier, justifying the basis of the original warrant.
Third,
even if Mr. Nunes shows that investigators did not tell the court who financed the dossier — which originated as a Republican-backed effort during the primaries — that is hardly a scandal.
It’s not clear that the court, in Mr. Page’s case, relied on the dossier at all,
but even if it did, courts rarely deny warrants on the grounds that an informant had some bias.
They always assume some bias exists, as it frequently does, and then weigh the information in light of that assumption.
Finally,
the idea that investigators were out to fool a federal judge shows a profound ignorance of how the intelligence courts actually work, and of the degree of vetting that precedes every warrant application.
As one former F.B.I. agent explained, a conspiracy to obtain a warrant based on bad information would have required the involvement of at least a dozen agents and prosecutors, a corrupt or incompetent federal judge and the director of the F.B.I. — all working in concert to undermine Donald Trump.
You could call it all a wild-eyed conspiracy theory, only there’s no real theory behind it.
Instead, there’s
a mad scramble to set off this latest smoke bomb, despite pleas to not do so from, among other people, Mr. Trump’s handpicked F.B.I. director, Christopher Wray.
After Mr. Wray and Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, failed to persuade the president’s chief of staff, John Kelly, to withhold the memo, the bureau released a highly unusual statement expressing “grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy.”
That Mr. Nunes and the other Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee are happy to disregard this appeal shows how far down the rabbit hole they’ve gone.
Mr. Nunes hasn’t even seen the classified do ents underlying his memo, and
has refused to show his work even to Republican senators.
Is this the behavior of someone concerned with honesty, transparency and good government?
None of this is to say the F.B.I. and the rest of the federal law enforcement apparatus should be immune from criticism or reform.
They should be subject to regular oversight and searching scrutiny. But that isn’t why Mr. Nunes is pushing his dishonest memo.
As Senator Ron Wyden, Democrat of Oregon, wrote on Twitter on Wednesday: “It’s not that the government is always right or always wrong about secrecy. It’s that Americans would be right to see this release as proof that selective classification is used more often to deceive them than to protect them.”
It would be nice to treat Mr. Trump, Mr. Nunes and their cohort as the junior high school pranksters they resemble, but what they’re doing —
cynically undermining the nation’s trust in law enforcement, fostering an environment of permanent su ion and subterfuge — is far more dangerous.
The question is whether there are any adults left in the G.O.P.
The evidence so far is not encouraging, notwithstanding a sporadic furrowed brow in the Senate.
At some level,
one hopes, a sense of shame and responsibility to the republic will finally kick in. But that, too, is unlikely.
Republicans from the top on down have made it clear, expressly or otherwise, that
this is all about winning the political fight directly in front of them, the consequences — and the rest of America — be damned.
