So the Trump plan may be to kill the Mueller investigation before Dems take control

[Honeycombe8]

of the House.

I hope Mueller's ready. Because he may be about to be shut down, either directly or indirectly. And any report hidden.

[still_one]

1. I think it will be done during the Congressional recess.

[rzemanfl]

2. "May be?" It clearly is. Time to unseal some indictments. n/t

[UniteFightBack]

3. We must remember that charges have been farmed out to NY State and they have their own

separate investigation going on (NYC)....these people are in trouble regardless. Besides Mueller and company is much smarter than the toxic tRUMP team so I'm not worried.

[Honeycombe8]

8. Yes. But not the obstruction of justice and the conspiracy investigation.

But this is confusing. I suppose if it comes up in those other cases,....I don't know what happens, then. The Trump investigation is not in the jurisdiction of those other courts, I think. His job is to refer it to the AG's office...I think.

[mn9driver]

4. No question about it. I hope Mueller has the bulk of his work complete

and ready to release, like, tomorrow.

[Honeycombe8]

9. I think Trump has already mentioned pressing charges against Dems for releasing classified info....

I suspect he's talking about Democrats releasing the Mueller report the public.

[malaise]

5. He can't

All experts say too late

[Honeycombe8]

11. The guy in charge (Whittaker) can now re-define the investigation to be narrow....

doing away with much of Mueller's investigation. And disallowing certain evidence.

There are things Whittaker can do to effectively end the investigation. He wouldn't outright fire Mueller and end it. He's clamp it down so tight that there isn't much left of it.

This was one of the Repub beefs against Rosenstein: that he directed Mueller to investigate two things...and any other possible crimes he ran across during his investigation. This broadened the investigation to include, say, Trump evading taxes or laundering money, those crimes referred to SDNY for Cohen & Manafort, etc.

13. As the gurus as saying Mueller always has contingency plans

What's more Dems are now in charge of the a house and Muller will be on National TV at hearings.
The Con and his spawn are going down.
I believe that big time.

[Grown2Hate]

6. I would imagine that the House Intelligence

Committee would resurrect it and/or subpoena all records (in January, of course).

[Salviati]

21. I imagine that everything he would do now, would just dig himself deeper into obstruction of justice

[Hoyt]

7. Might have to wait a few months, but I think the House can subpoena any of these people -- Mueller,

Sessions, Whitaker, Rosenstein, etc.

Besides, didn't Nixon try this. Of course, Congress was a different mix.

[Honeycombe8]

10. This is much worse than the Nixon case.

Nixon's own party was ready to go with indictments and impeachment. Nixon didn't have allies, any more.

[Hoyt]

12. True. GOPer senators wouldn't vote to convict trump if he personally handed money and codes so

Russians could hack election system.

[Honeycombe8]

15. Yes. That's the biggest difference between now and then. The whole Repub Party is corrupt. nt

[GoCubsGo]

14. Yes. They can and will subpoena everything Mueller has.

And, probably everything he turned over to Underwood and others. Mueller is likely many, many steps ahead of these assholes, too. And, he's much, much smarter. As Malcolm Nance said on numerous occasions, they will not get away with any of what they've done. And, he has yet to be wrong.

[Honeycombe8]

17. You are giving me hope.

We need hope.

I'll have to read up on Malcolm Nance. I know the name, but.....


Okay...I looked him up. I don't see him predicting Trump & Repubs will not get away with anything. To the contrary, he says repeatedly that we are on the cusp of losing our democracy.

[Hoyt]

18. That's perfect. Although, I am not as sure that Mueller is hell bent on taking trump down as some.

I hope that is the case, but I became pessimistic thinking Fitzgerald was going to imprison bush and cheney.

[malaise]

16. Every fugging one of them

And the family too.

[Hoyt]

19. Oh, yeah, would love to see the kids ruined, or Melania ratting on trump.

[malaise]

20. Obstruction of Justice coming up

I can't wait.
Hope Mueller drops the bombs/ indictments this week
