Trump and family took a HUGE hit today!

Earlier today 30 subpoenas were served on the Trump organization and their properties - almost 500 pages!

Just minutes ago Mueller released his sentencing memo, rife with redactions but also with some telltale hints on "collusion" between the Transition Team and Russia.

Who knows what's in those redactions OR the details of what Flynn told the Special Counsel?

PS - Pence is in deep shit, too.

Robert Mueller knows what he is doing. Have patience, my children. Trump has no idea what Flynn told Mueller, which is why there were so many redactions when this was released to the Press.

If Trump thinks he is off the hook, he has another thing coming.

 
14. Trump is wishing . . . .

Trump is wishing he had never run for president. If he had stayed out of politics, he'd be shitting in his gold toilet, playing golf, counting his money, cheating contractors, bullying everyone who works for him, evading taxes, grabbing women by the ####, screwing porn stars -- and no one would care.

I can hear it now -- Melania is at lunch with an old friend from Slovenia: "Go to America they told me!! Work as an escort, they told me!! Meet a rich American, they told me!!! Lure him away from his wife, marry him, have a baby, they told me!!!! And you'll have nothing to worry about ever, they told me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I SHOULD HAVE STAYED IN SLOVENIA!!!!"

Instead tRump had to settle for being the author and promoter of a tax bill that, over time represents the largest shift in wealth distribution in US history. One that, over time restricts government receipts to such a drastic extent that it will be mathematically impossible for the US Government to cover SS, Medicare and Medicaid.

Talk about exploding heads.
The Republicans number one enemy, (maybe number two because they still hate Hillary.)

Boy I hope McConnell is tied up in this mess too.
He REALLY needs to be put down.

Here’s the proof:

1) Republicans complain extensively about Pelosi who isn’t a felon, isn’t a puppet of Putin, and isn’t deserving of all the animosity due to anything she’s done in the past.

2) Mueller and the DC/Maryland/NY courts nail Trump and Pence.

3) Pelosi becomes president of the United States.

NOW TAKE THIS SPACE-TIME QUIZ:
Which cause-and-effect flow is more reasonable?

A) 1 > 2 > 3

B) 3 > 2 > 1

Seriously.

so far. I looked, I hoped, but the two sources named in this thread are not info sources, though one is with a pissant little political PAC with a very questionable record that tries hard to convince potential donors it's an inside player.

It makes sense that if Pence were implicated in any way Mueller'd be very, very careful to keep that from leaking ahead of time. Pence is the right's spare, their safety in case anything happened to Trump.
