Trump's being backed into a corner by Mueller and it might have to do with Jr.




MORE: Mueller questions relate to Russia's involvement in 2016 election, not potential obstruction of justice; topics include meeting between Donald Trump Jr., other campaign staff and group of Russians at Trump Tower - source

This is fcuked up or as they call in chess, check.

tRump has a decision to make. Throw Jr. under the bus as the exclusive source of the Trump Tower/Sessions/Pence (?)/Russians meeting or take the fall himself or both.

I wonder what sympathy move his lawyers will conjure up for Sr?

Sure, Jr. has free will and made his choices. But Sr. is at the heart of the mess that's been created. I hope this reality breaks through the narcissism and weighs heavily on him day and night.

Sure they've done other business activities (especially Ivanka) but it's all based on their income from inside the bubble.

Mueller has Cohen and (an apparently not-so-cooperative) Manafort. But he also has mountains of phone records, texts, and emails. Even if Trump doesn't use email or texts, the people around him all do. And the people around him are not very bright when it comes to not documenting their enthusiasm for doing criminal things. I assume that stupidity includes documenting the boss's enthusiasm for doing said criminal things.

It's not going to keep his own self from getting sucked under said bus.

He's f*cked.
And he knows it.

those eyes beneath that hideous scalp-beast aren't showing much love. There's a certain viciousness there. I'd be gathering the kids, locking the doors and setting the dogs loose, seeing eyes like that.

so time is running out, as mueller moves on the royal family.

jr can either..............

admit his crimes
lie to the FBI
or plead the 5th

and away we go...............................

let's wrap this up in time for the dems in the house to be sworn in.

They already know what you did, when you did it and how bad you did it. Most of us learned a life lesson at that point, or didn't. DJT never had that lesson. Time for a bit of schooling.
