When Trouble Is A Step Away

The President of the USA, a dear TV memory to many still-loyal fans, appears to be on the verge of indictment for lying under oath.

His sworn answers to written questions from the Mueller investigation may have included lies.  Lies told by his campaign chairman Paul Manafort to Mueller's investigators, lies which weren't challenged by Mueller.  So Manafort's lawyers told Trump's lawyers about them. And Trump's lawyers told Trump that this was a story line that Mueller accepted.

Fish bite hooks like these.

Trump’s lawyers were briefed on what Manafort told investigators, inflaming tensions with Mueller: NYT report

The story of the President's downfall has been unfolding rapidly.  Trump's sworn answers to several questions were submitted to Mueller on November 20th. On November 26th - after the Thanksgiving holidays - Manafort's prison sentence was raised to ten years for lying.

And now today, the 28th, the connection between Manafort's lies and Trump's probable echoing of them is shown. Did Trump tell the same lies that Manafort is now receiving a ten-year sentence for swearing to?

Mueller is laying his evidence out before the public, piece by piece. 

He's also concerned about Manafort's interactions with Julian Assange and Wikileaks, and their connection to Russia's pilfering of Hillary Clinton's emails. So the story could unfold many times more.

The world is his jury.  Sitting in rapt attention.
