I'm starting to think it will be some unknown Dude(s), like an accountant that may have been deceiving about bank info or some assistant that may have told a lie.

My dark horse pick. Son of Gen Michael Flynn. I doubt Flynn will let his son go down and will sing like a canary.

Maybe, but if someone at that level didn't roll over to help Mueller to catch a bigger fish, then he/she is a moron.

Very interesting choice. He is probably the third lowest hanging fruit (after Manafort and Flynn) and you are right-this will bring enormous pressure on Flynn. That's typically the way prosecutors do these things in a conspiracy case-grab a little guy, squeeze by the nads until he sings out on someone higher. The possibility of presidential pardons (and more particularly pardons that won't put the entire country in an unroar as Trump's base will excuse anything) lessens the prosecutors' leverage here.

Yeppers. Federal prosecutors can be very persuasive. They'll sit you down with your lawyer, lay out their case & offer you a deal you can't refuse. Chances of winning are slim, even if you have a few extra $M laying around for legal fees. The $M's only matter if they don't RICO you first. They'll break your balls off. It's their job, and they like to do it well.

What is the probability that it is coincidence that the Republicans opened 2 investigations into Hilary Clinton the week before this charge was filed?

*snip*

The great part is that these not-so-subtle threats led to Stone being suspended, and word is that it's a permanent ban. He's threatening legal action, but I don't think he realizes that he doesn't actually have any recourse here; Twitter had every right to ban him, and has pretty clear evidence to justify the ban.
