Shit's gettin' real.

[kentuck]

No more games.

Somebody may be going to jail? Suddenly, the White House staff has stopped making Hillary jokes. Instead, they are asking where they might find a good lawyer?

If Trump is going to get rid of Mueller in some way, now is the time for him to make his move. He will be talking with Rod Rosenstein a lot this week. He is the person with the authority to fire Mueller. He will either have to follow orders or step down. Look for him to resign in the next few days.

It appears that the White House has known about the upcoming indictment for a few days. They changed their strategy and went all-out attacks on Hillary Clinton, in order to rally their cult following. The White House was probably told about the upcoming indictment by Rosenstein or some other mole in the investigation, perhaps Pompeo at CIA?

Trump likes to make quick decisions. Look for this week to be full of intrigue and excitement.

1. It's like a 1980's mini-series

[Blue_Adept]

2. Alec Baldwin has years of roles ahead of him to play Trump in them and more.

9. The Bad Republican hair, garish outfits, and gold-plating of everything is Dynastyesque.

3. Like Isis

they've been reduced to hit and run.

24. New York Minute

Lying here in the darkness
I hear the sirens wail
Somebody going to emergency
Somebody's going to jail

-Don Henley

25. Looking forward to reporters standing outside of

Sing Sing prison.

That gets me thinking - where will Flynn, Manafort, Trump go to prison? Will it have a golf course?

[Stryst]

27. I imagine that either Fort Leavenworth

or being held under guard at Camp David.

[rzemanfl]

4. I keep thinking about Dana Boente (sp?) resigning. n/t

[kentuck]

6. I thought about that also.

Why did he resign?? What is his role in this investigation?

[Wounded Bear]

8. Given the 5 different jobs he's done for the Trump admin and DoJ...

he's probably a key witness, or at least a person of interest.

He's probably resigning to discuss his future with his own personal attorney.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

18. Or headed to a secure location...

... to minimize polonium poisoning risks?

[gordianot]

20. What a wonderful time to be a DC attorney.

Marketing at its finest deals to be made.

5. Firing Mueller (which won't stop the investigation) or pardons would be an admission of guilt

Yes I know there is the alternative facts world out there but for most people, including independents, this would be horrific. I know it won't stop these Nazis but it would be devastating to his history.

Then....there's this

7. I don't think he cares about his place in history...

He doesn't seem to think much beyond the moment. Just far enough ahead to protect himself from prosecution.

[Blue_Adept]

12. That and totally destroying anything that Obama did.

It's all about himself and being praised and tearing down someone that humiliated him.

[lark]

19. Yes, he totally hates Obama, but this is much much bigger than that.

This is about Putin and what drumpf promised him if he'd get Repugs up and down the steam, including of course himself, elected. That's what he's terrified of, that his scheme to personally profit from the presidency in many many ways, including illegally using a hostile foreign country to buy an election and his illegal Russia moneylaundering will come out in the light of day and he will suffer from it. He's a total coward.

[smirkymonkey]

11. Hah! That's great!

I want to see some heads roll this week and I want to see Trump's head explode with rage.

[mountain grammy]

21. I saw that, it's perfect!

But I think there's a few Bingo's there.. even a blackout!

[PatSeg]

23. Oh, I want to play BINGO!

[HipChick]

10. How did the WH know?

Who is leaking shit?

[kentuck]

13. Nunes is a toady...

and he is Chair of the House Intelligence Committee. He may have received the information. Or Senator Grassley, after his falling out with Feinstein? Or Rosenstein? Or Pompeo? They all probably had access to the information from the Special Prosecutor?

[HipChick]

14. Nunes is totally whack

Master Deflector..or tries to be, but fails miserably..

[Kleveland]

16. Whack-a-mole! n/t

[marylandblue]

28. Speculation has been circulating all week in the press

I suspect a lot of it is coming from the targets themselves. Stirring up the White House may be a defense tactic.

[BigBearJohn]

15. don't you mean intrigue and excrement? lol

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

17. As long as the shit don't hit Trump or family, it's ok.

Manafort? Who cares. Flynn? Phht.

Kushner? Hey, wait a cotton-picking minute here, lemme get out my "pardon" pen ...

[ancianita]

22. It will be SO exciting. But the Democratic Party must keep developing its bench and inclusive

campaign strategies, and not rely on "anything but them" frames.

We don't want our party to simply be spectators of this rollout of justice.

We have to truly know how our party leaders are ready to promote a truly great vision for this country, and that they're creating structures that will win across statehouses and the 2020 presidential election.

[H2O Man]

26. Recommended.

The weekend should be interesting. Between today and Tuesday, many from the campaign and administration will be experiencing extreme stress. Hence, we can expect Trump to act out.

[Corvo Bianco]

29. Why do we know about this before it is happening?

Who the hell leaked this and why?

[kentuck]

30. I would guess that it is someone in the intelligence chain that is allowed to see the information?

Someone in the House Intelligence Committee or Senate Judiciary Committee or perhaps, or the Director of the CIA, or someone in the White House? It could be one of numerous people, I would think?
