Breaking: Special counsel is investigating Trump for possible obstruction of justice, officials say

Happy Birthday!

[dalton99a]

1. The first installment of his beautiful cake

[BumRushDaShow]

3. Beautiful chocolate cake

The most beautiful.

[FM123]

4. His Happy Birthday Cake

[FakeNoose]

50. Awe! That's so sad

Happy birthday Cheeto 45!

[BumRushDaShow]

64. LOL

[cilla4progress]

111. Are you with me...

This was timed for his birthday .

Every year on his birthday for so long as he lives, he can relive this day.

Just the kind of thing I've been praying for. And I'm an atheist.

[duhneece]

115. Is this 'His Party and He'lll Cry if He Wants To?'

Watergate began with hyper partisan-ship, but the R's did 'come on board' (of what's right) eventually.

I'll hold my breath until I know if the same happens here.
And soak in my NM's Senator Heinrich being such a bulldog.

[NCjack]

130. The cake was baked by Pres. Obama. We are seeing the products of the

sanctions placed on Russia. They are the root cause of the investigation.

Thank you, Pres. Obama.

[Freethinker65]

2. This could take years

Fingers crossed that the GOP agenda gets slowed to a crawl

[BumRushDaShow]

6. That's why they are trying to create things in secret

without hearings and try to shove it through because they know their time is short.

[Scarsdale]

118. And they STILL

wonder what makes people so upset? Have they not even read about the white supremicists (?) who support them? When things get close to THEM, like this shooting, it should wake them up. Secret meetings to reconstruct healthcare, with other representatives shut out is NOT the way to unify this country. What are they hiding? Who are they REALLY "representing"? Certainly not citizens who work hard. Did it not register that in Ca. four working class people were shot and killed as they prepared for their jobs? I hope those folks had healthcare, and life insurance.

[BumRushDaShow]

119. Problem is

The Kochs funded so many of the radical RW Congressional seats (63 were gained in 2010 in the House alone), that it was only a matter of time before the vitriol from those folks, would spill out into the national consciousness.

A lot of this "secret" stuff is happening not just because they are hiding it from the Democrats, but in some cases, they are hiding it from their own loons.

[Achilleaze]

5. Slappy Birthday

To the Republican draft dodger in chief

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. OH...duh - is that why his twitter page has balloons floating on it ? thought it odd - a message

of condolence after shooting and there's balloons floating by. Trump still uses old twitter - guess cuz so many followers - or is it because it has his name in it. @pres probably more generic (dignified)

[dixiegrrrrl]

88. Twitter does that on your b-day. Seriously.

Someone today noted that Qatar is one of the only 2 places in the world that makes helium, and the current dust up is affecting stocks of it, so b-day balloons may be a little flat soon.

[BigmanPigman]

7. Is the big, fat, spoiled baby going to throw a birthday fit and reconsider firing him now?

[BumRushDaShow]

11. That's the first thing that came to my mind

especially with the financial gurus getting involved. That would torpedo the whole TFEE and they can't have that.

[mcar]

8. Boom!

[justiceischeap]

9. This announcement gives Mueller "job security" too

Letting this info out today assures that he can't be fired without another Obstruction investigation being launched.

Well played, Mueller, well played.

[BumRushDaShow]

13. I don't know about job security

You have a kamikaze guy in office who has so far, done whatever he wanted whenever he wanted, without any repercussions. If they get too close, he may ignore all of his lawyers, advisors, and family, and fire him - Nixon be damned. His base would love it.

[justiceischeap]

15. But I don't think the GOP could ignore that

There's just no way.

[BumRushDaShow]

19. They would "pre-select" a replacement

who will find nothing. Someone like Kenneth Starr for example.

[moonscape]

99. I don't think Mueller is leaking this. He is much too professional - an

ethical by-the-book person.

The problem is that once people start being interviewed, there are more and more people who can figure out where the investigation is going, what the line of questioning is and of whom. I suspect Mueller would much rather nothing leak. It hurts rather than helps his investigation.

[justiceischeap]

108. I can see Mueller allowing this leak

It sends a very clear message not to mess with his investigation. Note that this didn't come out until all the rumors of Mueller's firing were going around.

The release of this info seems very strategic to me.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

10. YEA!!! Repukes take "hope you" alone. It is not alone - add in firing Comey,

the guy who is investigating you, add in Comey not giving loyalty oath, add in Comey asking for more funds, add in probably others who were asked to get Comey to stop...

[Cha]

14. KICK!

[BumRushDaShow]

16. Hey Cha!

[Cha]

18. Really..

BRDS

[SHRED]

17. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUMP!!

[Kahuna7]

20. I wonder if this has more to do with trump's lawyer bragging

that he got Preet Bharara fired

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/mark-kasowitz-preet-bharara-firing

snip

Marc Kasowitz, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer in the Russia investigation, has boasted to friends and colleagues that he played a central role in the firing of Preet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, according to four people familiar with the conversations.

Kasowitz told Trump, “This guy is going to get you,” according to a person familiar with Kasowitz’s account.

[BumRushDaShow]

28. There were also a number of stories

where some advisors were encouraging him to do it while others were telling him no - along with Lyin' Ryan suggesting that he not do it. Seems they are all playing high-stakes chicken.

[malaise]

21. One more scoop

[BumRushDaShow]

31. Beautiful chocolate LAVA cake

and 2 scoops.

[sheshe2]

40. Supersize it!

Tis Donnies Birthday after all.

[BumRushDaShow]

62. Bwah!

[sheshe2]

76. Now that is a supersized scooper for the poopie head and thief.

Two scoops could do the job.

[BumRushDaShow]

77. "poopie head and thief"

[FakeNoose]

54. Yeah - he'd better eat it pretty fast

He won't be around much longer.

[procon]

22. Is Mueller deliberately hoping to provoke Trump into firing him?

It would provoke a constitutional crisis, and make a special prosecutor all the more likely, and probably seal the obstruction of justice case against Trump, paving the road to an ironclad impeachment.

In any event, Trump will see this as a direct attack, and if he remains true to form, he'll lash out and do something incredibly stupid to exact his revenge, regardless of the blowback.

[geek tragedy]

24. Trump likely has been informed he's the target of an investigation, which probably

prompted the "Fire Mueller" talk in the first place.

[BumRushDaShow]

32. That might suggest

the Louise Mensch story could have a grain of truth... (not that I want to get into that argument about her and Claude Taylor )

[geek tragedy]

36. it wasn't hard to guess what was going on at the FBI--the clues were all out in public nt

[BumRushDaShow]

37. In this case, maybe not the FBI but other national security agencies.

[geek tragedy]

44. we knew Trump had a web of financial ties to shady Russians

We knew he is corrupt AF

We knew that firing Comey was about obstructing the Russia investigation.

We knew that he had pressed at least 4 senior NatSec people to help quash the Flynn investigation.

Etc etc

[BumRushDaShow]

46. And he may have been caught via an intercept

dealing in some financial shenanigans with Russian bankers for laundering purposes (although not necessarily directly associated with the collusion angle). It wouldn't surprise me that the collusion actually came from the GOP leadership.

[regnaD kciN]

103. There's no "ironclad impeachment"...

...unless and until the Republican congressional leadership decides there is. And, so far, we've seen no sign they're willing to go beyond the "deeply troubled" stage.

[WiffenPoof]

23. This Is Going To Piss The Orange One Off...

He was so obsessed with asking Comey if he was the target of an investigation. Completely Obsessed! Now he has something to really worry about.

On Edit: Did anyone note that Hardball started with this story even before the shooting. Interesting

[MiddleClass]

52. Chris realizes he jumped the gun

Technically, it's not Russian involvement and Donnie two scoops.

As Watergate: it's not the crime, it's the cover-up

[zentrum]

25. Let's hold our breath. Obstruction

...of Justice is very hard to prove. It's already obvious there was OOJ but Special Council really needs proof to charge a sitting (ugh) President.

[oasis]

26. "Obstruction" is MSNBC Hardball lead off story. Matthew's show slides

today's congressional baseball shooting to the back burner.

This is yuuuuge!

[malaise]

39. How about keeping us all safe

That's the best idea - Tweety in response to Ryan asking how do you keep Congressfolks safe!

Go Tweety! You're too experienced for this 'milk it' moment.

[kentuck]

27. Wow!

What happened??!

[AgadorSparticus]

29. Bring it! So ready for this!! Keeping my fingers and toes crossed

[C_U_L8R]

30. Now that's a two scoop

Yum yum

[Dopers_Greed]

33. Happy Birthday, Dear Leader

[Mr. Ected]

34. Trump: "Am I the subject of an investigation? Am I the subject of an investigation"?

"How about now?" "How about now?" "How about now?" "How about now?" "How about now?" "How about now?" "How about now?" "How about now?" "How about now?" "How about now?" "How about now?" "How about now?" "How about now?"

48. Happy Birthday Donald

[Kingofalldems]

49. Check out the comments in that article.

The deplorables are off the deep end defending their boy.

[BumRushDaShow]

51. I am actually surprised that the comments aren't all RW

but quite a few from the other side. Still... over 3200 and counting.

[Kingofalldems]

55. Oh, they are getting hammered for sure.

[flibbitygiblets]

87. Putin's blowing his entire 'bot budget on that article

Better save your rubles, Pooty, you're going to need a loan from the Chinese at this pace.

[BumRushDaShow]

98. !!!

"'bot budget"

[wiggs]

53. Fine. As long as it doesn't relieve pressure to investigate collusion, Russian hacking, money

laundering, emoluments, corruption, compromat, self-dealing, Trump Foundation misdeeds, etc. All larger and more dangerous than obstruction though maybe it will take more time and effort to get those in a technical/legal sense.

However, in impeachment, we're not really talking about technical issues...impeachment is a political effort more than anything, and the more that comes out on ALL fronts, even if obstruction is eventually put to rest, the more likely it is that congress will impeach....Especially if he keeps showing his skills at incompetence, insulting allies, bullying, losing his base, and malignant ignorance. If all the above stays in the news weekly, there will be a point.....

His supporters in congress may say he's on the right track and should be given a chance, but they have to be thinking the same thing we are...the guy is unstable, unwilling to learn, misguided, a-moral, incompetent, narcissistic, and a sociopath of some special kind. They know he should not be president and it's only a matter of time before they start saying it out loud. As long as we and the media put all our eggs in the one small basket...

[BumRushDaShow]

59. It makes you wonder how many pretzel twists they are willing to keep doing

to protect him so they can try to get their agenda enacted? And even then, he willingly throws them under the bus at a whim by saying or doing the opposite of what he promised them.

[Motownman78]

106. If they lose in GA-06

Then they will really start to panic. They have not lost a Republican seat yet. When their phoney-baloney jobs are in peril, they will act as Pence can act on their agenda just as well.

[Moral Compass]

57. Odds that Trump will fire Mueller just went up

I don't think Trump will be able to stop himself.

I believe we will see a historic replay of the Saturday Night Massacre.

What exactly happens after that I can't predict.

[malaise]

58. Chris Hayes leads with this

Oh My!

[BumRushDaShow]

65. And CNN is on the shooting

Interesting.

[liberal N proud]

60. We are not rubbing this in with trumpkin friends and family

Now are we?

"Secret service was called to investigate. When questioned, one whitehouse staffer was quoted as saying, "I nevuh saw a TV fly so far so damn fast!"

Interesting thread, great details.

91. White House officials (Kushner et al) will be interviewed about what Trump told them

A former Justice Dept official speaking on MSNBC said that Trump staffers will not be able to keep their govt positions if they plead the 5th.

[BumRushDaShow]

92. Heard that earlier

and had noted in another thread earlier today that "pleading the 5th" was a "bucket" that Heinrich missed as an option regarding Sessions and his refusal to answer questions.

That means Trump will have to invoke executive privilege for every conversation which will make him look horrendously guilty.

Or maybe they all get fired!

94. Rachel mentioned the NYT version of the story

Mueller Seeks to Talk to Intelligence Officials, Hinting at Inquiry of Trump

WASHINGTON — The special counsel examining Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election has requested interviews with three high-ranking current or former intelligence officials in the latest indication that he will investigate whether President Trump obstructed justice, a person briefed on the investigation said on Wednesday.

The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, wants to question Dan Coats, the director of national intelligence; Adm. Michael S. Rogers, the head of the National Security Agency; and Richard Ledgett, the former N.S.A. deputy director.

None of the men were involved with Mr. Trump’s campaign. But recent news media reports have raised questions about whether Mr. Trump requested their help in trying to get James B. Comey, then the F.B.I. director, to end an investigation into Mr. Trump’s former national security adviser. Last week, Mr. Coats and Admiral Rogers declined to answer questions before Congress about the matter. Mr. Mueller’s office has also asked the N.S.A. for any documents or notes related to the agency’s interactions with the White House as part of the Russia investigation, according to an intelligence official.
Continue reading the main story

The Washington Post first reported on Wednesday that Mr. Mueller had requested the interviews with the intelligence officials.

95. KICK & thanks again. nt

[TalenaGor]

96. idk....low hanging fruit

I kinda think he's doing it to go out for that and not face the death penalty for treason....besides, at this point, there's probably some reason to investigate him for a few dozen impeachable and/or criminal offenses lol

[BumRushDaShow]

97. They may be looking at the financial stuff

like money laundering, etc., which may ensnare his children.

109. Don't forget the scandal lurking behind the drapes: money laundering.

[BumRushDaShow]

116. The NY AG must have 30 years worth of stuff on that

and Preet has a handle on it.

[Kablooie]

114. So we're getting closer to the point where Trump trys to take down the country with him.

I hope they take away his steering wheel before he deliberately drives us off a cliff.

[bucolic_frolic]

117. Yes, I think this will all play out before 2018 elections

because they know if they lose those it's over

so they will try to clamp down on everything - fire Mueller, suppress free speech and rights to
assemble, and voting rights - and call it phony fake news to discredit the truth

I'm thinking this because I doubt they would go aggressive on foreign policy because most of the
world is not with them, and they have no credibility or legitimacy, and don't know what they are
doing. There are no good options there, so they go the domestic route.

[Botany]

120. Donald fired Comey to stop the investigation into the Trump/Russia links.

"It's my judgment that I was fired because of the Russia investigation," Comey told the Senate intelligence committee in explosive testimony that threatened to undermine Trump's presidency.

http://6abc.com/politics/comey-says-he-was-fired-because-of-russia-investigation/2070552/

[BumRushDaShow]

121. And he said so to the Russian officials who visited him

without any American media present (although the remarks were codified and distributed afterwards)!

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/19/us/politics/trump-russia-comey.html

[L. Coyote]

123. Correction: Investigating Obstruction in this case is investigating Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice

All the deception, the Trump campaign's collective amnesia about meetings with the Russians, from Trump, Kushner, Flynn, Session, Rosenstein, et.al., is a conspiracy to obstruct justice and also part of a larger conspiracy to subvert the U.S. presidential election and cover up.

What a wild and crazy month it has been since Trump fired Comey? This thread attempts to cover the entire story:

[Enoki33]

125. There are those who think, and l am one, that the obstruction

of justice, though of great importance in itself, will be small potatoes to what has yet to be uncovered. Namely money laundering, espionage and links to a trail of dead Russian bodies orchestrated by Putin's FSB. It will prove to be a vast and complicated plot of possible mind boggling repercussions to our national security.

[BumRushDaShow]

126. Yes

The TFEE has been undulating for decades under the eyes of several NY AGs and a guy that Drumpf first asked to stay on only to later fire (former U.S. Attorney for SDNY Preet Bharara) is now working for NY AG Eric Schneiderman, who has a motherlode of stuff on mob dealings and money laundering etc (most likely littered with the TFEE, the Russian mob, and their associates).

[Grins]

127. And there's one more nugget!!!!

From the WaPo story:

"Investigators have also been looking for any evidence of possible FINANCIAL CRIMES among Trump associates, officials said."

Look out Jared! Look out Mr. Manafort. Look out Trump brothers. Look out Mr. Cohen. Look out Trump Organization. Look out Deutsche Bank. Look out Erick Prince. Look out Roger Stone. Look out the entire Republican National Committee, Senator Ted Cruz, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, Senator John McCain, Senator Mitch McConnell - all of whom received Russian money. Look out Dana Rohrabacher.

And Mr. Drumpf; don't bother giving us your tax returns for the past 25-years, we have asked the IRS to do that for you.

Regards,
Bobby

[BumRushDaShow]

128. The whole TFEE will be looked at

and he pissed off a guy (former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara) who he asked to stay on and then fired, and is now working for the NY AG (Eric Schneiderman).

133. #TrumpObstructed - Scott Dworkin is on a roll - 26 potential counts of obstruction:

Link to tweet

(String) Did Trump obstruct justice? YES! Many times w/many people-At least 26 potential counts of obstruction #TrumpObstructed #TrumpRussia
The whole "they're lookin at obstruction cuz they can't prove collusion" is bogus-Countless ongoing #TrumpRussia probes
Did Trump attempt to stop the investigation of a crime? Yes-With Michael Flynn-Case closed.
Book'em Mueller!
This doesn't have to be a complex story. Trump broke the law. He should be charged & legally removed from office. Period. #TrumpObstructed
And yes I believe that there is clear cut evidence to charge him with at least one count. And that's all we would need. #TrumpRussia #Resist
Anyways—there are at least 26 separate potential counts of obstruction of justice-for 26 diff things Trump did to stop #TrumpRussia probe.
Why would Trump-of all people-go thru all this trouble to appease Russia? Probably for money.🤑 How much for Oval visit? #TrumpRussia #Resist
Why'd Trump & Co lie about the hundreds of millions of sales to Russians & hide all of their business ties & trips to there? #TrumpRussia
Why did everyone hide these meetings-from even the US Gov't? If it wasn't sinister-why hide it? There's no sane explanation. #TrumpRussia
There is no plausible, non sinister-like reason for them to be meeting with that many Putin representatives DURING the campaign #TrumpRussia
So let's simplify it. Did the campaign meet with Russians? Yes. What the f*ck for? Remember—they knew they were hacking the dnc #TrumpRussia
Collusion: secret or illegal cooperation or conspiracy-especially in order to cheat or deceive others-SOUNDS like what they did #TrumpRussia
The Russian Gov't was hacking-Trump & Co knew that-& at least 13 people including Trump met with folks that work for Putin & no one winked?😉
All met w/Russian Gov't: Sessions-Page-Kushner-Cohen-Flynn-Manafort-Don Jr-Prince-Gordon-Tillerson-Eric-Ivanka-Trump himself-W/RUSSIAN GOV'T
