In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
I disagree. He’s a crook who has spent his life working closely with other powerful crooks.
He won’t have any trouble finding his place in the food chain. Especially if he gets friendly with a few MAGA screws.
Re: Tim Hogan's tweet -

Once the Mueller report comes out hopefully all these guys will be tried for treason as well.

I have a feeling that Manafort's lawyer will end up on some trump legal team before the summer. Both judges would not entertain the talk of collusion except for Manafort's finances during the campaign yet his lawyers have come out twice to emphasize the "no collusion" narrative.
Well they might have thought that now Manafort’s cases were over they’d need a new job. Unfortunately for them he’s just been indicted on 16 charges by NYC so it’s back to work for Manafort now.
It's unfortunate that so much of the media discussion seems to be on the legality what Trump can/can't do as president rather than questioning the pardons themselves. It then just becomes an issue of political strategy (good strategy vs bad strategy) instead of morality (right vs wrong), which is exactly how Trump & Republicans want it. They've been allowed to normalize what most would say, in a vacuum, is outrageously bad: the president is going to pardon the federal crimes committed by his campaign manager/friend/building tenant, for no good reason other than to protect himself.
Oh heck. Lawyer still wittering on about “no collusion” for some reason. Crowd are having none of it.Tweet

Republicans and morality?
hmmm.
They will prostitute their own daughters...if someone will actually pay that is.
Did someone say Russian snowblowers?
fingers crossed Manafort carks it in prison.
He'll be in his late 70's by the time his federal sentence is up, and if Trump pardons him, he'll get none of the leniency the federal judges showed him from the state of New York. He probably will die in prison.
Roger Stone has been to court. Judge has not had time to read details related to his gag order.
Today she is setting his trial date for November 5th. (Seems a long time away)

Well heck, Miss Lindsey, why not also add another Benghazi investigation to the mix and further waste tax dollars and time in efforts to distract the public?
Devin Nunes voted yea on the bill.
Gives you every bit of information you need about the legitimacy of the unanimous vote.
Republican House reps knew it was never going to pass the Senate.

On its own I think 7 years is a fairly significant sentence. But as you said, in the US context, it is a joke. 7 year mandatory minimum for transporting 28g of cocaine.
I’ve been thinking about the Manafort case.
He’s worked on Republican presidential campaigns since the 80s and has worked closely with prominent Republicans throughout that time.
From what we know about how he works, you can absolutely guarantee that he has been accruing dirt on these people throughout the years.
I’m sure that will have provided a fair bit of leverage for him and Ellis and Jackson will have been leant on by some important friends.

That’s quite something.
nope Britain EakinLindsay Graham and Mitch McConnell should be burned at the stake
I know! Just teasin’ ye.Lindsey has turned into quite the sycophant. He has likely made the calculation that he needs Drumpf's support for his Senate reelection in 20, and going against him now would work against his chances of another Senate term. McConnell's wife works for Drumpf so not entirely surprising there.
Rick Gates still cooperating, next update by May 14th. Doesn’t sound like Mueller has finished yet. Mind you, we’ve got Trump jr/Kushner indictments to come before he locks up and goes home. (Well hopefully).Tweet

And to think CNN and the rest were talking about Mueller report coming soon
Don't think they made it up, likely someone in the administration was bullshiting.
Yup. Trying to pressure the special counsel into releasing the report soon... As if that would work
Yeh I'm sure it's what they were all told but it was so obvious that This investigation was far from over.
Cnn were even lambasting Whittaker the week before when he said Mueller report is wrapping up. Showing how silly a statement that was.
The words of a frightened man. He oozes guilt every single time he criticises the SC.Tweet

No Collusion ... Blah Blah ... No Collusion, because No Collusion and No Collusion. Something something Which Hunt. But No Collusion!
The whole world is talking about Christchurch and he's talking about himself.
Now then...I wonder what’s suddenly set him off ranting again. Something for sure...
Sounds promising.
Sounds promising.
Pence has come as the Boy Wonder, by the look of it.
And it won't, provided the American people learn a lesson here and never elect such an obviously incompetent and corrupt piece of shit to the office of the presidency again.
So what with brexit taking up so much of the news here I must admit I'm not sure what's going on with the trump investigation.
Is Meuller going to present his report anytime soon?

No.
More chance of The Rock ending up in the White House.
