Special counsel Robert Mueller is preparing court filings detailing Trump associates’ offers of sanctions relief to “well-connected” Russians, the Daily Beast reported Tuesday, citing three unnamed sources “familiar with Mueller’s probe.”
The filings will also detail “how those offers and counter-proposals were characterized” to Trump campaign and administration officials, in the report’s words.
Several people in Trump’s “inner circle” developed plans to roll back sanctions, according to the Daily Beast’s sources.
One unnamed former Treasury official said Trump’s transition team “was a mess” and that “by the time they got their stuff together, Congress was increasing sanctions.”

Looks to me like we are getting into the real juicy stuff. Collusion is looking like the the least thing Spanky should be worried about. We may be getting into treason before you know it.
Look, I’ve been all through the U.S. Code and I don’t see any language in there that says it’s against the law to eat human brains. So when you walk in on someone eating brains and suddenly start accusing them of murder or desecration of a corpse or whatever cockamamie thing you want to dream up, well, frankly, I think you’d probably have a defamation case on your hands and it would serve you right.
Chris, for God’s sake could you leave the gut-instinct predictions to the amateurs?
Gotta add popcorn to the grocery list.
Question: what are the “court filings” referenced in the report? Are they filings in an existing case, perhaps relevant to sentencing of one of the cooperators? Or are they filings in new cases, perhaps related to indictments?
Please let it be new indictments.
