Two names I've seen repeated today.
Robert Mercer
Michael Flynn
So far Flynn is ahead, but its early.
(Maybe this should be posted in the Lounge)
Let me know & I'll repost it there.

(6,288 posts)him when he is indicted.
Trump is protecting Ivanka.
They could have protected their financial holdings from siezure by now. Maybe they don't believe Ivanka's also going down.
I do believe Kushner is top of the list.
It gets hard to tell who's a worse criminal afterwhile. There's just so many!

(6,288 posts)He ran the link between Cambridge, Trump Tower & Russia/bots.
Didn't he pretty much run the central command thru Trump Tower & the Kremlin?

I just hope there are indictments tomorrow & they are big names.

(46,155 posts)Def messing w Trumps head with the way he timed unsealing of pappadopolus (sp) indictment. Also enjoying him toying w Manafort with the docs he unsealed on Tuesday re multiple passports and multiple joint bank accts w a Russian national.
After Asia trip maybe?

(255,535 posts)But they'll get to him, it's just tough to be patient. This Trump abomination already seems like it's gone on for years.

(43,165 posts)LESLEY STAHL: Our story's on a man named Brad Parscale, who was very high up in the Trump campaign organization. No one's heard of him, but he was a big decision maker and extremely influential in helping Trump win because he was online making the digital ads.
BRAD PARSCALE: Right in here, you can see the first three deplorable ones.
BRAD PARSCALE: Here you have different photos of different type of people saying they're deplorables.
LESLEY STAHL: So these were basically with Hillary looking quite ugly and mean
BRAD PARSCALE: Those tested well.
LESLEY STAHL: The mean face tested well?
BRAD PARSCALE: Yeah. We tested different of her face expressions.

(20,868 posts)ie let it out there today, friday, that there are more indictments coming, but leave the b'stards stew in it all weekend. Then hit them with it on Mon.
That's classic.

(6,288 posts)These are my predictions. However, I'm open to changing them as others present a more sound option.
Just having a discussion on a discussion board as we wait for the absolute word from Mueller.
Kind of like predicting the playoffs, based on stats of which trumpkin has accrued the most crimes worthy of an indictment..
If I knew what Mueller knew I'd be taking bets.
This is all we have for now.
Wwcd
(6,288 posts)But we can work with that.
We pretty much have all our hope on Mueller since there's no sign so far, of any other hero with the super smarts & super powers needed to bring down this devil of a global crime syndicate.

(4,926 posts)he goes down with SS tRump.
Wwcd
(6,288 posts)Consider the long reach he has with making things happen just because he has the money to do so.
Bannon, Breitbart, Cambridge Analytica, etc.
Imagine all Mercer's leeches who Won't Get Paid if Mercer gets shut down with a indictment.
Poor days ahead for some folks!
Wwcd
(6,288 posts)Kushner etc, & the Russians is in the same indictment boat.
Rebeka Mercer's public involvment in Trump 2016, opened the door to further Mercer scrutiny.
When Mueller shined his spotlight on Cambridge & Trump Tower, Rebeka may as well have been standing there waving back. "Pick me"!
Its like Trump, for years ran his corrupt business, cheated ppl, laundered money & got away with it. UNTIL he ran for President of the USA.
There's a moral to this story.

Ya know what I want just one day of every week?
I want to open huffpo & NOT see trump's ugly face staring back at me. Just one day a week I want to see a post like yours plastered on their front page.
" I do believe in indictments. I do believe in indictments. I do believe in indictments".
And that pic of the cowardly lion instead of trump.
Is that too much too ask Huffpo?!!
Can you imagine the clicks & likes they'd have?

(6,122 posts)Some indictments unsealed today might make a lovely parting gift for tRump to stew about on his way to Asia. Cant you picture it: tRump sitting aboard AF1, cursing and gnashing his phony white teeth. I rather like that image myself and he has many hours to rage and bitch and moan. He could very well work himself up into such a snit that by the time they reach the first stop, he is apoplectic.

(1 post)he might even call Flynn up from the Air Force One speaker phone to dictate what he should say in his statement. (And then forget ever doing it).

Tommy_Carcetti
(44,499 posts)Mueller's going to be working at his own pace and his own timetable. I don't necessarily think he's working on a news cycle basis.
He's Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel in the classic film The Agony and the Ecstasy, and we're all the Pope asking impatiently when he will be done, with his response being "When I am finished!"
Wwcd
(6,288 posts)It actually took him 4 years, which is prob about how long its going to take Mueller to throw all the bums in jail.
Or when he's finished. Yes.
sigh
Phoenix61
(18,828 posts)Maybe one will get unsealed. With all the Christmas movies on I can't help but think of an Advent Calendar only an Indictment Calendar. Unseal one a week until Christmas.
Wwcd
(6,288 posts)We should ask Mueller, in the spirit of the holidays, could he open one sealed indictment a day, and hand us a little present?
Does he have an email acct?
Pepsidog

(6,288 posts)Among others like RICO etc
Because he basically funded so much of the coup.
Something's going down with Mercer family, the big tell is his sudden divestment of one of his companies. There may be more, we don't know that yet.
I just hope its big enough to give Trump a heads up as to what Mueller will do to him too.
He can crap himself till the day he wakes up in a prison cell.
Enoki33
(1,605 posts)His very public financing of increasingly ugly neo Nazi figures and organizations made his clients very unhappy. They may have even demanded it. That does not mean he is not in Muellers crosshairs.
Wwcd
(6,288 posts)Especially if some of them are also dealing in nefarious business ties.
Mercer is now toxic.
We'll take that for now.

(1,605 posts)laundering. Seem to recall the yacht of the Russian oligarch who purchased dotards Palm Beach mansion at some $60m above worth was docked beside Mercers yacht in the British Virgin Islanders. Unlikely coincidence.
