Pavan Moondi — the Toronto filmmaker who wrote, edited and directed "Sundowners" — is fond of setups without payoffs: an exchange between Justin and his ex-girlfriend (Leah Fay Goldstein) about her abortion is not followed up; the best man's ambition to interrupt the vows is not acted upon; a suggestion from Justin that he and Alex ultimately remain in Mexico instead of returning to their unrewarding routine is shot down.

Despite years of speculation, Mr. Trump's impeachment did not, in the end, grow out of the two-year investigation into Russian election meddling by Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, or the seemingly endless series of other accusations of corruption and misconduct that have plagued this White House: tax evasion, profiting from the presidency, payoffs to a pornographic film actress and fraudulent activities by his charitable foundation.

Still, thanks to its plot-stalling and repetition, season two already seemed to be less surefooted than season one; now, with the added possibility of even more confusion about which character and timeline we're in, it feels like the show could be headed toward a new variant of the Lost/Battlestar Galactica conundrum: Giving audiences the chance to play the show's game of deduction and deciphering becomes a substitute for giving satisfactory narrative payoffs.

As Presidents Reagan and John F.

But those jabs carried extra weight in the wake of this week's conviction of the president's former campaign manager Paul Manafort on charges of tax evasion in a case that grew out of the Mueller investigation — and the simultaneous guilty plea by Trump's former longtime lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen on federal campaign finance violations in New York related to his payoffs to two women who claimed they had affairs with Trump.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - (This version of the April 22012 story corrects paragraph six to show 2700 percent of first-quarter lending volume accessed Rocket Mortgage at some point in the process, not that 25 percent of volume came from Rocket Mortgage; clarifies full-year and quarterly mortgage lending rankings) Big U.S. banks are racing to launch websites and mobile apps to make getting a mortgage faster and easier, investments that may have modest near-term payoffs as home lending activity slows.
