Prosecutors in the Russia probe have obtained hundreds of thousands of documents and gotten a host of information from laptops and phones in the ongoing investigation into former Trump campaign advisers Paul Manafort and Rick Gates.
So far, special counsel Robert Mueller's investigators have collected 400,000 documents including financial records, corporate records and emails involving the defendants.
They also have the information from 36 laptops, phones, thumb drives and other electronic devices that were seized during the raid of Manafort's house. The investigators have gotten 15 search warrants in the investigation, according to a new court filing Friday.
That collection of documents breaks down into several different pots of information, according to the filing: foreign bank account records, 116,000 pages of US financial records, 89,000 records on one hard drive, 120,000 records on two other hard drives, and 80,000 records on a fourth hard drive. The federal prosecutors also noted they have documents from Manafort's tax preparer "that were identified by the government as particularly relevant."
So far, the government lawyers have identified 2,000 documents as "hot," the filing said on Friday.
Just a reminder that while the conservatives and Donald Trump are working over time to undermine this investigation, Robert Mueller is simply plugging away and inching closer and closer to taking Trump down.
By the way removing Robert Mueller will not make this investigation shut down, in fact doing so would only cause it to grow exponentially and almost certainly result in a finding of obstruction of justice.
It was said that trump is fearful of how many friends and family will be affected by this fabulous chit show. Absolutely amazing how these clowns thought that they could pull this off.
ReplyDeleteOf course he thought he could pull it off, he has committed other crimes and never held accountable

Lock these traitors up!
ReplyDeleteI’m sure Trumps thinking is if he gets convicted he can just stay in that luxury prison in Saudi Arabia with his other cohorts.
DeleteIf he fires Mueller, he just speeds up the impeachment,New Years eve at Gitmo.
ReplyDeleteDream on! (Me too, BTW...) With the GOP involved in the Russia scandal, I would not put my bets on impeachment. Also, too: even IF they would choose to impeach him, that process would/could potentially take months and years. He will not resign voluntarily, he will have to be dragged out by his orange hair, kicking and screaming. And he will not be gone before he has not set the whole world on fire. He has already started it in the Middle East, and he is not giving up on North Korea.
DeleteThink you might be getting a little ahead of yourself there buddy.

ReplyDelete48hours O>"The skepticism was rooted in the FACT that Trump had not only brushed off the President's warning about Flynn, aides say, but he and his advisers were openly downplaying and outright dismissing the FACT that Russia had interfered in the election."
"Emerging from the wrought-iron doors with one of them — boxing promoter Don King — Trump told reporters that it was time to look past Russia's election meddling.
"I think we ought to get on with our lives," he said. "I think that computers have complicated lives very GREATly. The whole age of computer has made it where nobody knows exactly what is going on."
Just after 6 p.m., Trump released a written statement about the Obama sanctions on Russia."
"It's time for our country to move on to bigger and better things. Nevertheless, in the interest of our country and its GREAT people, I will meet with leaders of the intelligence community next week in order to be updated on the FACTS of this situation,"<RiiiggghhhttT
Out of curiosity, Gryph, have you heard Mueller or anyone from his team claim that they are going after Trump and are looking to indict or impeach him?
ReplyDeleteFact based investigations do not work that way.
DeleteThe Mueller team is not "going after" Trump, or looking to "indict or impeach him."
They are simply following the evidence.
What happens after that is up to the people, and their representatives.
