Never thought to see the day POTUS was one bringing down US. Pardons & poss. firing Mueller.

It's now so obvious, the investigation is getting too close to his business shenanigans and hidden tax forms from everyone.

Trump team seeks to control, block Mueller’s Russia investigation

Some of President Trump’s lawyers are exploring ways to limit or undercut special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s Russia investigation, building a case against what they allege are his conflicts of interest and discussing the president’s authority to grant pardons, according to people familiar with the effort.

Trump has asked his advisers about his power to pardon aides, family members and even himself in connection with the probe, according to one of those people. A second person said Trump’s lawyers have been discussing the president’s pardoning powers among themselves.

Hmm, so why would he do that if this was all fake news? htuttle Jul 2017 #1
Most likely Mueller has the goods on nuerous crimes right now. Foamfollower Jul 2017 #2
I think the same. Also, I believe some investigations of his shenanigans were already well underway RKP5637 Jul 2017 #3

Probably enough for convictions on multiple state level crimes in New York, too.

That's the bomb that will likely get dropped should Trump throw us into a constitutional crisis.

before he was slid in as WH occupant. ... seems those investigations would already be collaborated with Mueller's ... I bet his tax forms are very revealing. Also, pardons? That is yet another indicator he/cohorts are in deep sh**.
