That is all it says. Another day possibly glued to laptop instead of doing laundry. Or, could be about a Venezuelan drug cartel. Standing by....

1. standing by here

too

[bearsfootball516]

2. Indictments are usually dropped without warning.

I'm hoping it's something good, but expecting it to be unrelated.

[unblock]

4. yeah it's easy to get lulled into thinking the only crimes they're investigating are donnie's...

3. On Friday the Thirteenth, and other 13-laden connections

From DOJ in February 2018: Grand Jury Indicts Thirteen Russian Individuals and Three Russian Companies for Scheme to Interfere in the United States Political System

And Trump always complaining about 13 angry Democrats (in OSC)

And now today on Friday the 13th

Trolling Trump

5. my heart is beating

Would be so cool if it had anything to do with Strzok--something so incredibly validating and redeeming that even Trey Gowdy would say, "OK. I get it."

A girl can dream.

6. "Mueller related"

Overheard a reporter

[seshers]

7. Pete Williams

Speaking to someone in the room. Also suggested it could be between 11:45AM and noon.

8. These reporter conversations pre-presser are fascinating!

Someone advised them it was being transmitted live, and they kind of shut it down.

[bmpbmp]

11. I know! I love the behind the scenes stuff.

[yallerdawg]

9. Being reported...

they have a grand jury indictment!

[Lulu KC]

12. We were both posting this at same time

Is there a name for this?

[yallerdawg]

14. Yes!

"Jinx, you owe me a soda!"

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. "Ships in the night", "simultaneity", ...

"Great minds think alike."
"Fools seldom differ."

Take your pick. I think the former rather than the latter. But in truth, I think that great minds "think different", to use Apple's bastardization of the English language, and fools most often agree with each other (for example Trumpanzees and Fox News fans).

10. An indictment was returned to courthouse by prosecutors

a few minutes ago! Just heard it on hot mike!

13. CNN: Indictment Expected

17. Jake Tapper tweeted:

#URGENT: New indictment/s expected in Mueller probe

CNN: Prosecutors from Robert Mueller’s Special Counsel’s Office and the Justice Department’s National Security Division visited the courtroom of a federal magistrate judge in DC this a.m. to return a grand jury indictment.

24. Rosenstein hasn't given a press conf. before, so this is different. Why a press conf?

Indictment expected for Russian intelligence officers. But the U S has indicted 18 or 19 Russian people/reps, and there was no press conference.

If this is what the announcement is, it doesn't related to the Trump team or Trump. It really is just about Russian interference in our election system.

[Qutzupalotl]

29. Rosenstein gave another press conference earlier this year

Here is a contemporary aricle: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/02/16/watch_live_deputy_ag_rod_rosenstein_announcement.html

16. it's about Russians hacking the DNC n/t

[yallerdawg]

22. Ohhh.

Trump: "Help me, Rusher!"

Putin: "Hack DNC."

Trump, Jr. "We love this!"

Putin: "Send to asset Assange."

Assange: "Who do we coordinate this with?"

DOJ: "To be announced."

[Bernardo de La Paz]

25. Might be related to Manafort trial on 25th. i.e. Evidence that would have been revealed anyway. . nt

[Lulu KC]

18. 12 Russians hot mike

Can't help but say I'm a little disappointed.
Was hoping for Jared.
But I'll take it. I know Mueller is smarter than I am, something the GOP congress and so-called president are too stupid to see about themselves.

[MGKrebs]

19. Interesting to speculate: Would they indict trump while he was out of the country?

If so,would he try to stay away?
Would those around him basically take him into custody and bring him back?

Or would they wait until he got back?

[bucolic_frolic]

20. NEW: 12 RUSSIAN INTEL OFFICERS WILL BE INDICTED ON HACKING CHARGES

Link to tweet

[MGKrebs]

21. Are there going to be "unindicted co-conspirators"?

[JI7]

23. Does it seem like we always get some news like this when Trump

Is not here ?

[Freethinker65]

26. Good. Let us see who is the first legislator to suggest closing down the "witch hunt" investigation

Who is so loyal to Trump and the Russians that they do not care about our democratic election integrity?

[MGKrebs]

27. Jeez, Putin might karate chop trump right in the neck

if he doesn't get on top of this mess!

[yallerdawg]

28. No wonder the Dotard is so unhinged, flailing and ranting at everyone!

Rosenstein told him earlier this week that the noose is tightening!

[DonViejo]

30. Locking...

A press conference being held "shortly" is not LBN.
