monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

No. I am progressive Republican. I believe in capitalism - regulated capitalism. I'm a tax and save Republican.

Or even watch my goldfish, if I had goldfish.

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team is working with New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman on its investigation into Paul Manafort and his financial transactions, according to several people familiar with the matter.

The cooperation is the latest indication that the federal probe into President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman is intensifying. It also could potentially provide Mueller with additional leverage to get Manafort to cooperate in the larger investigation into Trump’s campaign, as Trump does not have pardon power over state crimes.

The two teams have shared evidence and talked frequently in recent weeks about a potential case, these people said. One of the people familiar with progress on the case said both Mueller’s and Schneiderman’s teams have collected evidence on financial crimes, including potential money laundering.

No decision has been made on where or whether to file charges. “Nothing is imminent,” said one of the people familiar with the case.

Mass pardons will make short work of the witch hunt.

Trump can't pardon State charges, so this is very, very bad news for him.

Trump Reportedly Feels Betrayed by Cabinet, and His Mood Is the 'Worst It's Ever Been'

That has left the president’s mindset as “the worst it’s ever been,” according to the Politico source.

“He feels like this is not what he signed up for, and his accomplishments are being underplayed,” the source said. “He just looks around and says, ‘When is this going to get better?’”

Never, you ******* dimwit. It'll never get even slightly better.

Trump can't fire the AG of NY.

Also, Trump and most of his team are from NYC and did extensive business there. Including his kids. You are kidding yourself if you think he is insulated in any way from problems from that direction.

Really, though, they're going to flip Manafort and Flynn and roll them up on him. Trump lies constantly and reflexively and it's going to get messy when they start testifying that he knew about the Russian thing all along, as well as a bunch of money laundering.

I think we could make things better by outlawing the Democratic Party in America due to all of their witchhunting against innocent people. Ending the witchhunts would allow Trump to focus his attention back on restoring prosperity to the working class.

Neo-Nazis think their Führer is allmighty.

I think Trump's time would be more profitably spent arranging his resignation and swift relocation to Russia to avoid prosecution. Mueller is quietly and systematically collecting evidence and turning Trump's business associates to turn evidence, and when his report is turned in, Trump's goose will be cooked. RT videos with Trump's new Russian TV show will be all over YouTube once he moves/absconds, complete with paid Russian trolls praising Trump's pronouncements on "The Deep State" and "The New World Order" in the comments section.

How is the investigation keeping him from helping the middle class?

I mean, isn't the issue that the Republican party is having a hard time passing bills at all?

Mueller and Schneiderman's investigation isn't preventing Trump and the Congressional GOP from doing anything at all.

What more, I wonder exactly what it is that you think Trump is proposing that would actually help the middle class.

Haha, there is no 'statute of limitations' in politics, man.

Mueller is no danger to Trump. It is fairly unlikely that he will be able to show that Trump committed any crime (for the simple reason that it is unlikely that Trump committed any crime).

In the rather unlikely event that he does manage to show that Trump committed a crime somewhere, no one is going to care after the Democrats allowed Bill Clinton to commit all those felonies in the White House.
