I meant what I said earlier. If Trump's allowed to shut down this investigation and gets away with it, your country is pretty well beyond saving.

Donnie Dumbfuck's lawyer has also been feeding him the line that it will all be over by then as well and he will obviously be found both innocent and a perfect strategic mastermind for doing everything perfectly like only he could.

When reality intervenes he's not gonna take it well.

I hope Mueller has something in place to do leaks in the event he gets fired.

There is the possibility that if Meuller gets fired that a state AG just picks up him and his team and let's him continue to run wild.

Comey's exhaustive memos of every meeting he had with Trump was one of the triggers for Rosenstein appointing Mueller as independent special counsel in the first place.

So Mueller's exhaustive investigation will...

... trigger a continuation of this investigation?

That's not Mueller's contingency, that's how it would go regardless.

Comey doesn’t have to use a “contingency” so long as Mueller is running the investigation.

The investigation will continue if Mueller gets fired. It will be taken over by a civil servant who can't be removed until an alternate is appointed by the deputy AG.

I was about to say, him getting fired (unlikely but possible) with a bunch of names still sealed could have them opened and arrested.

This isn’t something that’s gonna blow over. There will be protests. Protests will eventually turn to riots. Watching your constituents tear your state apart for not continuing the investigation is good motivation to keep it up.

Guilt is for little people. He's a 70 year old cheese-brained dementia patient that's been a purebred narcissistic rear end in a top hat his entire life and has gotten away with throwing enough money and lawyers at this exact behavior for every day of his life from birth until now. He's been rewarded for it his entire life, there's no way he sees it as being guilty looking now.

The news about the Pentagon declassifying its UFO research program has me terrified at the prospect of us making first contact during the Trump presidency. Specifically, Trump shoving an alien envoy out of the way so he can be at the front of a group picture, effectively dooming the entire planet to extinction.

Aren't these things a murder suicide or a jilted lover or something personal like that far more often than not? Can't think of the last time there was a targeted political murder of anyone like that even in the US. Come to think of it, it's kinda surprising more desperate people aren't shooting up board meetings or courtrooms rather than churches and classrooms.
