Mueller Clarifies That His Investigation Did Not Exonerate the President
9:45 AM: There is still lots of ground to cover this morning with former special counsel Robert Mueller, but the headline will likely be that Mueller clarified that President Trump's "no collusion, no obstruction" mantra is simply a lie.

What We Learned From the Mueller Report & Why Those Facts Should Outrage Americans
The Mueller Report only exonerates the President in the alternative reality of Fox News. His mantra of "no collusion, no obstruction" is wearing thin as Americans understand the magnitude of Russian efforts to get Trump elected and how far he was willing to go to cover it up.

Former Trump Lawyer Michael Cohen Has Agreed to Testify to Congress So Expect a Tweet Storm
I think this might qualify as must-see TV. New York Times: "Mr. Cohen’s decision to appear before the House Oversight and Reform Committee on Feb. 7 sets the stage for a blockbuster public hearing that threatens to further damage the president’s image and could clarify the depth of his legal woes. Mr. Cohen, a consigliere to Mr. Trump when he was a real estate developer and presidential candidate as well as informally as president, was privy to the machinations of Mr. Trump’s

What the Manafort Plea Deal Means to the Mueller Investigation
It's likely that Paul Manafort's plea deal means that he has substantial information that will help Robert Mueller's investigation. Before accepting a plea agreement prosecutors typically receive a "proffer," a statement by defense lawyers summarizing what their client can provide prosecutors in exchange for their cooperation. Prosecutors in Manafort’s case have not been specific about what he’s agreed to tell them, but we know Manafort gave the special counsel a proffer and
