WOW! What was just said on Lawrence O ' Donnell by a former prosecutor..

[triron]

He said the mostly likely reason Trump hasn't been subpoenaed by Mueller is that Trump is now a target!

He said in his experience as a prosecutor working with grand juries, He does not recall a target being subpoenaed.

[OliverQ]

1. I saw that. That would be great if true.

But keep in mind even if Trump is a target, he can't be removed without Congress. That's the major issue here.

[oberliner]

3. Do you think Congress can be flipped in November?

[OliverQ]

5. I mean, I hope it can. Because I think if it doesn't flip, it's the end of America.

But we have Russian hacking, gerrymandering, voter suppression, and an apathetic voter base to contend with. It's a very uphill battle.

[MiniMe]

18. Even if the dems take the Senate back, which I think is unlikely

It takes a 2/3 vote in the Senate to remove from office. There just aren't enough vulnerable R seats up in this election to take the Senate IMHO.

6. The best we can hope for is something like a 187 count felony indictment

Of like EVERYONE around the m*****f****r, DETAILED shit, full of bombshells (preferably with JaRED and Butthead and maybe even Beavis ... And F***ING NUNES and hell maybe LaPierre for good measure) ... and Dumpie as an 'unindicted co-conspirator' ... wasn't that what they did with Nixon?

Then we have to hope the GOP aren't SO FAR gone that they refuse to behave according to what the circumstances clearly dictate.

13. Oh God, I hope you're right! I'm ready for a few bombshells

[oberliner]

2. That was in an article Glenn Kirschner published this morning

Here it is:

4. Fantastic, thank you.

[hlthe2b]

7. You know, I've been wondering about strategy for Mueller if he has multiple indictments for

persons CLOSE to Trump (let alone Trump, himself). Once he unseals an indictment of JR or Kusner, for example, or even Roger Stone, everything will escalate to a fevered pitch.

Seems like he must lay a lot of groundwork so that it will be just like rapid dominoes falling, not allowing Trump to respond.

One of these days, we are likely to see a volcano go off in DC....what a cataclysm that will be... Yikes

[oberliner]

8. It's going to get ugly

They won't go down without a fight - that I can tell you.

[exboyfil]

9. It will start with pardons and firings

The last pardon will be for himself just as the Senate starts voting for impeachment (assuming they get to that point). He will be in the ground before the courts resolve whether a sitting President can pardon himself.

Chances are that the actual case for pre-election conspiracy with the Russians will not be clear cut (if it was I don't think we would have reached this point).

[triron]

11. Maybe it's already started.

[triron]

10. So why are 3 cybersecurity FBI leaving?

WTF is going on?

[H2O Man]

12. Recommended.

I posted about this last week. The Dept of Justice has a policy of not subpoenaing those identified as targets. Two weeks ago, they dragged Rudy out of his coffin to babble about his "rules" preventing Trump from talking to prosecutors, and expressed his belief Trump won't be called before the grand jury. This, plus the 12 Russian indictments, have resulted in Trump's unhinged behaviors.

[kentuck]

14. That's probably true.

If not, he should be.

[BigmanPigman]

15. DU posted it BEFORE Lawrence!

We are ON TOP OF IT!!! DU is "the place for news"! YEAH DUers!!!!!

17. +1

For the most part, that's what has me coming back hour after hour.

[Cha]

16. It's not like trump isn't

guilty of a boatload of shite.

But, how do they take him down.

Victory in Midterms will slow him down.

19. knr

20. Oh, PLEASE

LET THAT BE TRUE!!!!
