Apart from Himself himself, who do you want to see arrested?
For me, it is the Mercers. Send a message to all the other "shadowy billionaires" buying their way into our government.

(23,319 posts)As a way to leverage Flynn Sr to spill the beans. He isn't my #1 choice but I think he is a likely first round candidate. I would LOVE to see Kush perp walked out of the WH while Ivanka screams "Daddy do something about this!!!!!" And then, Dotared will say "He knew what he signed up for Ivanka, but it is still sad when this happens".

(182,823 posts)Flynn may have already worked out a deal but he has to be charged for it to be effective and enforceable.
I still say it's going to be Stephanie in accounting. She knows EVERYTHING.

(9,899 posts)I recall rumors Flynn Sr. tried to shop an immunity deal, but was rejected due to terms he tried to insert for his testimony. If they can put JR, in jeopardy, Sr., is more likely to flip.

(182,823 posts)Trump ain't flipping on nothing. He'll sell his kids out before he admits to anything. He doesn't seem to really like Jr. much anyway. He prefers his son in law over either of his boys.
If Trump was in JAWS he'd have gone straight up to the crows nest and hope the shark got full before it got to him.

(9,899 posts)I am positive Trump would throw all his kids under the bus for even the slimmest chance of walking.

(4,742 posts)Why? Mueller wants to send a message to everyone he isn't fucking around and possibly to get some people to flip faster.

(26,219 posts)Kushner would be my pipe dream. Trump will toss the others under the bus, but this would impact his favorite child and make her pout. That would send him over the edge.
My more realistic pick would be Flynn Jr as that could open up information to start flowing like a newly unkinked hose.
Regardless of who is first, once these folks realize that everyone could face jail time and that the principal won't lift a finger (or write a check) to help them, all bets are off.
Pretty much everyone involved went to jail for the Watergate coverup .... except Nixon who walked a free man.

Just thinking outside the box.

(1,009 posts)be Flynn Sr, because he's the one everyone is saying would be the most bang for the buck as far as getting information from and willingness to fess up.
As far as who I detest the most, it would be the Mercers and Bannon.

(7,178 posts)Cambridge Analytica funder and Trump donor Rebekah Mercer received an email in August 2016 from someone she had recently met at a political event, suggesting that they create a searchable data base for Hillary Clinton emails in the public domain.
Mercer then forwarded the suggestion to several people, including Cambridge Analytica CEO Alexander Nix, asking if this is something they could do.
That is what prompted Nix's email response that he had contacted Julian Assange two months earlier asking for Clinton's emails, according to a source familiar with the Mercer and Nix email chain.
