Just after the Comey firing, CNN reported Tuesday that a federal grand jury had been empaneled in the Eastern District of Virginia to look into the Russian connections. That news had actually been broken some weeks earlier by a Washington Democrat named Claude Taylor, whose tweets about the grand jury were dismissed, even by the liberal news site Daily Kos. Taylor, who once worked for the Clinton White House, was tweeting Tuesday night about a scenario that could be even more dire: A source with knowledge of the investigation says that nine sealed indictments came down in one case with sixteen more expected in others. He also passed along rumors that the Trump family was moving money offshorea completely un-checkable but wonderful image, redolent of Baby Doc, Muammar el-Qaddafi, Saddam Hussein and all the other tin-pot family dictatorships. No one ever imagined such types would set up camp in the White House.
Is Taylor a broken clock, correct two times a day only accidentally? Or a well-sourced gadfly? Time will tell.
To be sure, a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia is a long way from perp walks of one or more Trump associates in handcuffs. If Trump, as was rumored Wednesday morning, appoints Rudy Giuliani to head the FBI, that day will be delayed. But Congress must vet the former New York mayor, who has his own ethics issues. Giuliani hasnt been on TV much latelyeither because his lawyers told him to keep his head down, or because he was waiting for this moment. Perhaps both.

(7,431 posts)Patrick Fitzgerald's work in "prosecuting" Dick Cheney for outing Valerie Plame ended in a "sealed indictment" that never became "unsealed."
Nothing will happen until those indictments, now reported by Taylor to be as high as 70, are unsealed, and arrests are made. Until then, we're walking a tight rope.

In fact, this is when we may most need to remember how untrustworthy Republicans are. Who will be the next Republican marched out as the hero investigator?
