Trump's team has had a great week, huh. :) Mueller indicted over a dozen Russians for hacking and interfering with the 2016 election in a bunch of proven ways, several people have flipped and are talking in ways that have made Paul Manafort's chances of not either being in prison for a long time or flipping even less likely, Trump's several month long steady increase in his poll numbers, fueled by the tax bill and the State of the Union address, seems to have started to turn against him, and, worst of all, he had to make maybe the greatest sacrifice any American has ever made: he didn't go golfing for a weekend because it'd look bad after that horrible school shooting. No one has ever sacrificed so much...
But yeah, as far as the Mueller investigation is concerned, the big question is if Manafort can be made to talk. You flip him, you probably get serious stuff on Trump. Maybe Mueller can find that stuff even without Manafort, though --flipping Gates is potentially a big deal on that point, as he was close to Manafort.
Anyway, it's been an eventful but encouraging week.
