That is important, but I think the crimes are so vast and deep that there will be many terrible revelations.

Like Manor, though, the astonishing breadth of this thing suggests a number of things could do it. And what we're hearing is only what investigative journalists and others are picking up from people who are talking. Mueller investigation isn't talking.

Btw, this reminds me of a good question: Trump has been obsessed with Sessions' "betrayal" ever since his recusal, a rage constantly refueled. So WHY hasn't he fired him? Perhaps Sessions knows if Trump made that call.

Why would Trump knowing about it be a crime? Just would show he lied for the upteenth time ?

He’s also an international money launderer and has been one for decades. He also ran a human sex trafficking operation from his modeling agency. There’s more, and all of it will be disclosed. This is why it’s being said that the Mueller investigation is the biggest in our nation’s history. It is international in scope and targets dozens of people.

Knowing about that Russian meeting would be a crime...if it hasn't gotten Junior and kushner thrown in jail. Sleezy and traitorous but not a crime right?

Remember all that uproar about the huge database of recorded cell phone calls on every US citizen?
With regard to that activity, in particular, if I was the NSA, blocked calls would be of special importance to track -- those are people trying to hide something. Just because the call shows blocked on the cell phone of a suspect does not mean the cell carriers don't have the critical data.

I hope this is all being carefully psych-oped by career CIA/FBI folks who really care about this country, and need a Democratic congress to root out the russian cooperators in the congress.

Paul Ryan retiring has me very suspicious. Power hungry, morally unhinged guys like him don't walk away from third in line to the presidency in times like these unless there is something really, really unusual and overwhelming going on. I think Ryan has secretly flipped in order to avoid jail time. It's the only thing that makes any sense to me for a motive to retire.

I keep hearing this - and it doesn't make sense...

Blocked by who?

If I block a caller - he can still call other people...

And how does one receive a call if the caller is blocked...?

I don't know what this means...
