Robert Mueller's Russia probe is causing financial hardship for those being targeted. My heart bleeds.

“Paul Manafort’s resolve is limitless, but his resources are not,” said a person close to Manafort. 

Manafort isn’t the only person facing financial challenges because of the legal costs of responding to Mueller’s probe. Michael Flynn, the retired general and deposed National Security Adviser, is struggling mightily with his mounting legal bills, according to a source familiar with his situation. The expenses has put his family’s finances under significant duress, the source said, and it’s expected he will soon create a legal defense fund to keep from going bankrupt. 

Hiring the high-powered Washington lawyers necessary to respond to a deep-dive Justice Department investigation can be extraordinarily costly. And Manafort—despite his past lucrative contracts with foreign governments, and despite the fact that he owns numerous properties around the country—is feeling the pinch. Sources say that’s part of the reason he is no longer retaining WilmerHale; the firm is known for handling Congressional investigations, but Mueller’s probe has now shifted its focus to international tax issues—which meant Manafort needed lawyers with that expertise. So he has brought in Miller Chevalier, a boutique Washington law firm full of international law experts, and has parted with WilmerHale. 

David Rivkin, a longtime conservative Washington attorney who worked in the Justice Department under Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush, said Mueller’s probe is undoubtedly straining the finances of all its targets.

Try as I might I cannot come up with an ounce of sympathy for these traitors.

If they don't want to end up in the poor house perhaps they should simply admit their guilt and then start singing like a bird and help Mueller bring their boss and his cohorts to justice.

Just a thought.

Russian company celebrates their leader's dominance over America's commander-in-chief by selling an incredibly expensive case for a phone nobody uses anymore.

A Russian phone-customization company debuted its latest creation this week: a new Nokia 3310 with embedded, gold-plated portraits of US president Donald Trump and Russian president Vladimir Putin on the back. The phone is meant to commemorate the two world leaders meeting at the G-20 Summit in Hamburg. 

The middle button on the device features the G-20 Summit logo, while the phone body is made of tempered titanium. The data and location of the summit is also emblazoned across the back. This device is real and costs 149,000 rubles, or $2,500. 

Caviar writes on its website that it purposely chose to display the presidents’ side profiles. They’re looking in the same direction, too, to symbolize “the common desire for progress in US-Russian relations.” Such harmonious phone vibes.

Let's get real, they're facing the same way because Putin has Trump by the pussy and he is making him face the same way.

This story took me by complete surprise, as I did not even know that Nokia was still in business.

Who in the hell has a Nokia phone nowadays?

And if you are too broke to afford an I-Phone than how in the hell does this company expect you to be able to afford a $2,500 case?

This product is just like the Trump presidency, stuck in the past, completely impractical for our purposes, and too expensive for the consumers.
