Im sorry I cant wait until tomorrow

I need to know now, who and how many people are being indicted, this
cannot be another let down.

This cannot be some underpaid temp in a GOP Office, tweeting a friend in Russia, asking them
to write bad stuff about Clinton.

I want Trumpy's top advisors led away in cuffs, I want Jesse watters crying on faux news, I want it
to go down.

I want to be headline news all across the globe.

This better be big!!!

If you're expecting the Trump Administration to come crashing down tomorrow, you're not going to be happy.

5. That seems unlikely

The most likely indictment is Manafort for some 2013-2014 money laundering issues. A Flynn indictment is possible, but he's more distanced from Trump.

The place where it starts to unravel isn't on the indictments, it's on the response to the indictments.

Hoping this is a weekly thing for Mueller and his team.

Trump isn't going to keep quiet - The man will be tweeting and running his mouth on Fox News. This should be an exciting week to watch for every single Dem in the country.

That's what I'm hoping for tomorrow. It won't be the end of the game, but the beginning. And we'll get an idea of where this is going by who they choose for the first indictments. So sit back and enjoy the show.

4. could be small(er), but I'm betting on

either Manafort or Flynn.

Not to worry, this is typical of an organized crime syndicate takedown.

It's usually the money trail, it always starts with a lieutenant, not the "don".

The "Don" will come later after they all flip.

We don't want this to be too fast anyway. I would rather have President Pelosi than President Pence.

7. That's not how these investigations work. Indict the underlings, pressure them to testify against

the bigger fish. They cut a deal and cooperate with the investigation to avoid harsh prison time. They give evidence/testimony that helps the investigators to get the goods on the big fish.

Patience, this is a marathon, not a sprint. Tomorrow is just the beginning

9. It could even be an aide or relative to Manafort or Flynn

Doesn't have to be a major player. Did you see the movie "Goodfellas," based on a true story? In real life they caught 50 mobsters, but it started with the arrest of young drug mule.

10. Better to expect a relatively low level indictment--perhaps not directly related to Trump & Russia
Sun Oct 29, 2017, 05:44 PM

and be pleasantly surprised if it is more significant

I can't help thinking we need to temper our expectations this early on.

because I definitely understand the impatience! But we may hear nothing tomorrow; all we've been told that the announcement can come "as early as Monday."

I hope it is tomorrow; I'm as impatient as anyone.

Last thing OP should do is ask Butters to freeze him until it’s finally here...that never ends well on South Park

Patience!

14. While some of you struggle to cope with possible disappointment
Sun Oct 29, 2017, 07:52 PM

I am envisioning every conceivable outcome regardless of its likelihood.

I want Trump indicted. Even if it's a sealed indictment, I want Trump indicted.

That way, if he tries to start WWIII, Mueller can unseal the indictment, and Trump's authority is immediately mitigated.

There is at least one count of obstruction awaiting him. There will likely be RICO violations. Income tax evasion.

I believe that Trump has been indicted. He knows it's sealed, so he'll tell the world that no one has the goods on him and this has all been a ruse.
