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.

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

(58,670 posts)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.

(23,123 posts)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.

(111,104 posts)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?

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.

(111,104 posts)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?
