- TheReveller 8y agoThose agreements are now void if they've broken the law.
- sevensor 8y agoIs that true? I know Manafort's cooperation agreement was nullified, but my understanding is that's because he lied to the special counsel. Which is presumably a crime, but it also violates the spirit of cooperation. I'd assume that in this case the matters are separate. But IANAL, what do I know.
- dwd 8y agoMueller allegedly has a nude selfie filed under seal relating to the indictment of the 13 Russian individuals and three companies. There must have been something more to it to avoid revealing who it was. But we don't know who Mueller's selfie was of. (there was a claim it was some random who was sexting Guccifer 2 but that doesn't seem like something worth filing) Maybe the better question is how or from whom he obtained it. Manafort or Cohen seem most likely sources as Mueller's got all their stuff or maybe the AMI handed it over as part of their cooperation deal. It's all a little weird as attempting to extort Bezos right now seems insane given the legal peril they are in. This may be worse than their part in election contribution violation they were previously on the hook for.
