here's my WAG as to what is gonna happen w mueller after mccabe on

deadline whitehouse today-

he talked about what they did when comey was fired. he said they looked at closing out cases, opening cases, or farming out cases.
he spoke about his certainty that anything left over from mueller would be farmed out to capable us attys, and fbi field offices, who would carry on and prosecute those cases.

so, carrying boxes out? right after the new ag takes over?
imho, they are farming much out.

if he wants to make a splash, he will drop a report, and us attys all over the country will drop indictments.

he would be stupid to sit back and see what barr does.
and he aint stupid.


if you missed nicole wallace today, go watch the whole show.
it knocked my socks off.

And I’m wondering if all those boxes observed being carried out - were going to the state prosecutors, where pardons can’t reach and don’t apply.

that will cause the investigations to be continued and prosecutions to occur in other federal districts if his office is shut down.

The deciding battle for the soul of our country is poised to commence shortly. Justice is going to prevail. Trump has been outsmarted and his time in office is going to abruptly end. He has burned every bridge he has ever crossed and karma is getting ready to give him a ginormous chomp on the ass.

For months I have been predicting he would no longer be president by the end of March. Can’t you sense it coming?

It all depends on exactly when the hammer drops. I expect we could see it as early as Friday.

I thought it was the best McCabe interview I have seen so far and hoped someone would post it here.

Someone wrote a reply to me that reminded me how tRump has been stacking the courts with his judges so the cases that go to the states in the future may end up in the hands of one of the moron's personal picks for judge. There are so many crimes in this vast web of crimes that it could go on for years after Mueller's report is done and the state AGs and the committees in Congress get through with them. Damn!

From Obama to McCabe and Mueller, this Russia investigation and its offshoots has been designed to be unkillable.

I was so blown away by the panel portion that I watched the whole thing again after dinner (she airs at 1:00 here in California).

Did you feel the ground move? I did.

unmistakably.

and lawrence last night pounded on the fact that they are trying to smear him, but not a single person who was in that gang of 8 meeting has not challenged a single word.

i realized that they all know the day is coming, and there will be nothing they can do to stop it. made me realize that this unity front they have built is made to keep impeachment off the table. once it gets put on the table, it will happen, and happen fast.
