That’s just a word processing / spell check error. Sure, legal documents are supposed to be perfect but all lawyers screw that stuff up occasionally. There are many things to criticize Manafort for, but I’ll give his lawyers a pass on that one; it’s just really friggin’ minor.

I’m sure they got it confused with the hedge fund. You can see how they’d make that mistake.

But perjury is super minor. He could get a small fine, or nothing.

Twitter trending that Flynn could be arrested as soon as Friday:

The hashtag #FlynnFriday appeared on Twitter late Wednesday as hundreds of social media users responded to a sudden rumor that fired Donald Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn would be the target of a new indictment handed down by Russia investigation Special Counsel Robert Mueller — and that Flynn could be arrested as soon as Friday, November 3. The online rumor appears to have started with Scott Dworkin, a former Democratic strategist who is now a senior adviser to the Democratic Coalition Against Trump.

This Russian thing is pretty astounding tbh. It’s like what would happen if you took a dozen of the most intelligent, devious, sneaky 4channers and made the Colonels in the SVR. When you look at the size of the operation and what they are actually pulling off it’s crazy just how far the Russians are ahead of us in internet warfare. We are concerned about trojans and tech compromises but they are just bypassing all the tech and going straight into the voters brain. Did Twitter and Facebook ever realise it would become an actual battleground? Do people even know we’re right in the middle in some kind of socmedia psyops cyberwar?

Oh, the odd thing is all those intelligent, devious, sneaky, false flag, deep cover ops the channers used to pull off purely for the lolz seemed to have dried up.

A White House source familiar with the investigation tells ABC News “the White House was surprised to learn Mr. Clovis had been contacted by the Special Counsel’s office as part of their separate probe of Mr. Papadopoulos’ activities.”

Clovis’ lawyer, Victoria Toensing, told ABC News he is not under investigation.

The special counsel’s office has been calling witnesses for the last several months for both interviews at their Department of Justice offices in addition to testifying before a newly impaneled grand jury. White House staffers who have been called to meet with Mueller have usually kept the President’s legal team in the loop.

(CNN) - Former Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page privately testified Thursday that he mentioned to Jeff Sessions he was traveling to Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign — as new questions emerge about the attorney general’s comments to Congress about Russia and the Trump campaign.

During more than six hours of closed-door testimony, Page said that he informed Sessions about his coming July 2016 trip to Russia, which Page told CNN was unconnected to his campaign role. Page described the conversation to CNN after he finished talking to the House intelligence committee.

Sessions’ discussion with Page will fuel further scrutiny about what the attorney general knew about connections between the Trump campaign and Russia — and communications about Russia that he did not disclose despite a persistent line of questioning in three separate hearings this year.

Page’s testimony was one of the more highly anticipated events in the congressional Russia investigations, given the scrutiny he’s faced because of his connections to Russia and his visible role pushing back about his Russia ties in nationally televised interviews.

Rep. Mike Conaway, the Texas Republican who is leading the House intelligence committees Russia probe, confirmed to CNN that Page told the committee he had informed Sessions about his trip, though Conaway downplayed its significance.
