1. why is Michael Isikoff working at Yahoo news? He's such a great reporter.

[Wellstone ruled]

3. He scares the

begeegers out of Politicians. Most MSM will not go near him simply because of his reporting. Another is David Corn.

5. I would imagine because he wants to.

7. It's a bear for great reporters to find work in print media.

I'm not a fan of Yahoo for the past 15 years or so. I think their unpoliced comments sections have seriously hurt discourse. But they have put together a fine sportswriting staff. News seems like the next frontier for them.

Otherwise, Isikoff's choices are 1) work for cable news or 2) blog independently.

8. Career move

He wanted to get on the ground floor of their news unit.

9. It is one of the top internet news sites - 100s of millions of visitors nt

10. I guess it's just me. But, going from Newsweek to Yahoo just doesn't sound good. But,

it makes sense that more people will be informed if that's the case.

11. Newsweek was in financial trouble in 2008?

They do not print it any more.
He left around the time Newsweek merged with the Daily Beast.

2. It's not the endgame

There's no way Mueller is telling defense lawyers that he's wrapping up, even if he was.

4. Filing Sentencing Memos are Wraps for Cohen, Flynn, & Manafort

They’re of no more use to the Investigation. By no means does it mean Manafort is done

[pnwmom]

15. Not true for Cohen. His lawyers' memo from Friday

specifically says they're asking for early sentencing, but Cohen fully intends to keep cooperating in multiple investigations.

[unblock]

6. When they say "prosecutors are telling defense lawyers", that still means we're taking the defense's

word for it.

Until I heard it from the prosecutors themselves, it's just more nonsense from the less than zero credibility squad.

12. Yes I believe Dotard's handlers tell him it's going to be wrapped up about every 3 months

to keep him from...

well I was going to say "From doing something stupid", but I guess it's safe to say that ship has already sailed.

13. And the truth will set us all free !!!!
