    kushner and Junior are up next. sounds like bannon thinks kushner will crack first.
    My understanding is he will also issue a report in addition to his prosecutions on his investigation. He has wide latitude to pursue leads so it's very possible the charges he may or may not bring regarding Kushner and Junior could not be directly related to the Russia investigation.

    i think his strategy is pretty obvious at this point. he's using minor crimes, sometimes unrelated crimes, to force compliance with the investigation while looking up the chain.

    kushner and juniors business dealings for the last 20 years are ripe for unpardonable, jail sentence magnitude crimes, and with that leverage, he has/will gain access to trump himself.

    anyone doubting mueller's wide jurisdiction needs to remember that is how we went from shady real estate deals in Arkansas to lying about a blow job being impeachable in the 1990s. everything really is fair game. and if lying about a BJ is impeachable, trump is done the second he opens his mouth under oath.

    I don't think these work quite the way you expect. In these types of networks they're carrier neutral, meaning the equipment allows multiple ISPs to offer service on leased, common infrastructure. The benefit is that it allows ISPs to be pooled in terms of system maintenance (a huge expense) and they still do the bandwidth bundling based on how much space they lease. Since it's easy for a new carrier to buy in on the network it basically puts the subscriber in control since it becomes a competitive market. Suprisingly, this business model supports rural areas amazingly.
