Trump won't bomb anyone this weekend to try and distract because he'll be golfing right?

Manafort and Flynn AT LEAST are my best guesses. The question is if they will start squeezing more info out of them until the give up more people.

I'm betting Manafort because I think Flynn would rat everyone out to save his own rear end.

All circumstantial evidence so far suggests he already has. :v:

I want to see how they're going to avoid the pardons.

Is it going to be all state charges? Are they going to pick someone less important and then if they get pardoned throw a billion state charges at them to warn others that pardons won't save them? Or are they going to pick Don Jr. to start with and as soon as Trump pardons him they're going to try to take it to the Supreme Court to call it obstruction of justice or something and see if they can get the SC to agree, paving the way to remove the hope of pardons?

or... ?

maybe i'm not cynical enough, but i genuinely think that trump issuing pardons and/or firing mueller is beyond the pale for many republicans and the public at large.

it's not possible to avoid nixon comparisons. i dont think fox news could effectively spin such a story

If it were me, I'd start with federal charges and let the pardons start flying. Then when there's enough piled up for obstruction of justice, go back with the state-level charges. Donny has to be confronted head on.

They’re not poisoning the well with this uranium one nonsense because of how beyond the pale pardoning anyone would be.

Plus he can’t fire mueller. He could only fire Rosenstein and appoint a toaster that could do it, and the senate has already come out and said they won’t confirm his next appointee.

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.



Really hoping for a dark horse candidate here like Dana rohrabacher, Devin Nunes, Mitch McConnell, or Trey gowdy. Keep the GOP on their toes.

I really can't get over Dana Boente submitting his resignation today. There is pretty much no way that timing is unrelated (Mueller's grand Jury is operating under Boente's district) not sure how to read the tea leaves on that though.

i was responding to someone else who was wondering if trump would pardon people or fire mueller

i responded by saying that, even if he tried, such an action would be beyond the pale for most people because it would be transparently corrupt and break the doj nixon-style

i don’t think we disagree with anything. i just did a poor job of conveying my point

- Out of the White House?
- Off the golf course?
- At a public event?
- During a press conference?
- During a random public appearance?
