8. When I see that Joyce Vance

is going to be interviewed, I stop what I’m doing to pay attention. She’s smart, experienced and cuts to the heart of whatever is happening. She’s a valuable truth teller.

9. I know for certain that Mueller's probe is massive and implicates Trump personally as the traitor

he is. How do I know this? For over 18 months there has not been a single substantive leak from the Mueller investigation. This must involve hundreds of people in secretarial, clerical, and grand jury members who know the President is a traitor and the fate of the country is at stake. The silence from the Mueller probe screams to us that some very, very bad things have and are continuing to happen involving the President and the Republican Party. Mueller’s probe when made public, will cause the wholesale rejection of republican orthodoxy and bring about a progressive wave of action that will change our society for generations. The far right will be nothing more than a footnote in history as the reordering of our political, social, and economic lives are sorted out by the next 20 years of progressive leadership. The silent majority of good Americans will no longer be sidelined. The republicans have woken a sleeping giant.

20. So, you don't actually know it for certain.

I sure hope your instincts are correct!

[Pepsidog]

21. Just a bit of hyperbole and wishful thinking.

[BlueWI]

24. Well said.

This veteran prosecutor has stepped up in a way that few others have done. The team deserves every accolade it gets.

10. My money is on Don & Don Jr being targets. nt

[gordianot]

11. Who around Trump will dare tell him that?

He seems totally clueless in reading people and will never admit his own mistakes.

[MGKrebs]

12. Yup. He's got these two guys, and Gates, and Papadopolous, and Flynn...

plus the tax returns and god knows what all else.
Even if he doesn't indict Il Duce I think he's going to try to make his report to Congress so overwhelming that they really can't avoid taking some serious action.

[gibraltar72]

13. I posted on another forum this morning.

We Know he doesn't want Weaselberg.

[duforsure]

14. I agree

But by seeing other crimes, or possible crimes it gives them the right to further investigate, including other individuals . Like with Mueller , and like with the Clinton investigations when they found out about his affair in the White House with Monica.

[Dopers_Greed]

15. Trump is finished

These guys wouldn't be getting immunity unless they were giving something huge.

[green917]

16. I said exactly the same thing today

These 2 prosecutorial maneuvers mean that, although 45 may be just a subject in the Mueller investigation, he's a target (if not THE target) in the SDNY case involving Cohen.

[triron]

17. If Trump's not a target in either probe, it is only because they choose not to indict.

[Ligyron]

22. There's no way these guys are getting immunity or such short sentences unless...

Yeah, Trump or members of his family no doubt.


The wild card here is Roger Stone.
