I wonder if Mueller's strategy is to build a criminal case against Trump, or charge the poo poo out of everyone around him and let the trials speak for themselves.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

I somewhat imagine that the senate investigating committee is set up as the trigger so mueller keeps putting everyone trump cares about in chains until trump’s hand is forced and he fires mueller, and then mueller gives the kicker to the senate committee who’s then immediately able to file impeachment charges against trump for clear obstruction and other illegalities. Mueller plays 4d chess while trump plays whack-a-mole.

Impeachment will not pass with this congress.

Any charges against the president of the US would automatically be headed for the supreme court, since there's no precedent for a sitting president being charged while he's in office. Throwing his entire family, campaign, and cabinet in prison has a higher chance of succeeding while still letting Congress impeach him.

Mueller's all "I've been working on this case for a year and he just...tweeted it out"

I though the story was that Flynn resigned before Trump had decided what to do.

Moore abused a bunch of red state teenagers and he's going to get elected. Republicans would find a way to rationalize Trump's good, Christian evangelical court picks as an excuse for baby eating.

The vote to impeach happens in the House, the Senate votes to convict.

Oh yeah. Ten seconds after they get their tax cut, major banks will take a hatchet to new business loans, interest rates go up 5 points, new house construction dries up...2008 on amphetamines baby.

In other news, Trump may be violently unstable:

quote:

In a section of the book written by Lewandowski, Trump is described as flying on his helicopter when he learns that Manafort has said “Trump shouldn’t be on television anymore, that he shouldn’t be on the Sunday shows” and that Manafort should appear instead. Trump was angrier than Lewandowski had ever seen him, ordering the pilot to lower the altitude so he could make a cellphone call.

“Did you say I shouldn’t be on TV on Sunday? I’ll go on TV anytime I g--dam f---ing want and you won’t say another f---ing word about me!” Trump yelled at Manafort, according to Lewandowski. “Tone it down? I wanna turn it up! . . . You’re a political pro? Let me tell you something. I’m a pro at life. I’ve been around a time or two. I know guys like you, with your hair and skin . . .”

Lewandowski called it “one of the greatest takedowns in the history of the world.”

Donald Trump has shown, time and time again, that he is not a human being but rather a throbbing, shrieking clump of Void Crabs wearing a skin suit. This was made abundantly clear during the last debate when the seams of his human suit tore open and spilled forth a hissing pile of black ooze, tentacles and claws.

The senate presides over and votes on articles of impeachment- the House has to draft and pass those articles. There is not a constitutional mechanism to impeach from the senate.
