First Mueller convict reports to prison
Dutch attorney Alex van der Zwaan turned himself in Monday after being sentenced for lying to investigators.

By JOSH GERSTEIN 05/08/2018 05:51 PM EDT
A Dutch attorney now has the dubious distinction of being the first person imprisoned in connection with special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Alex van der Zwaan, 33, reported to a low-security Federal Bureau of Prisons facility near Allenwood, Pennsylvania, on Monday to serve the 30-day sentence he received for lying to investigators in the course of Mueller’s investigation, according to a bureau spokesperson. His projected release date is June 4, according to information on the prison bureau’s website.

10. I see they have

"Mellow Yellow" to drink. I guess that means Trump would fit right in.

[Mr.Bill]

16. I didn't see any Diet Coke. n/t

[catbyte]

25. "Pink Hair Lotion" & "Tucks Pads" Everything a white collar criminal needs, top to bottom.

[ailsagirl]

14. Love Poirot

[sandensea]

18. Same here.

I only recently - and reluctantly - donated my (nearly complete) Poirot VHS collection to Goodwill.

I was moving, and figured someone else should enjoy them.

[ailsagirl]

26. Do you read Christie's Poirot Novels as well?

Those I refuse to throw away

[sandensea]

28. A few. The most recent being her last, 'Curtain'.

I must admit to enojoying the David Suchet series a lot more however - not least because in the books, Christie made Poirot out to be crabby and even hostile (especially to his ever-loyal friend, Hastings).

While Suchet always took care to preserve some of the character's edginess, he always came across as a reassuring old soul - the way one always imagines Poirot to be.

[ailsagirl]

32. I agree-- Suchet is the best of the Poirots, hands-down

I never did read Curtain because I didn't want to read about HP's demise. Too depressing
(Sounds ridiculous, I know, but there you have it)

[hughee99]

30. Mueller better hurry, then. This guy is going to be out in June. n/t

[Glimmer of Hope]
