I am thinking that the events of today are a hand-off to the southern district of NY.

Mueller knows he is going to be fired and this is the way to perpetuate the investigation. What do you think?

1. This is likely about Stormy, not Russia.

Rosenstein may not make it through the night.

2. It's a side benefit at best

A real judge saw real evidence that justified these search warrants.

3. This could be more than the story about Stormy Daniels

The FBI's search and seizure could be about foreign money laundering. Cohen has been connected to Russians for decades and he would know all kinds of deals that Trump has been part of.

The Stormy story is titillating (get it?!) but I don't think that's the many event. She's the warm-up act.

4. Yes

If I understood Sen. Blumenthal's press interview this insulates the investigation (his words) so that if/when trump fires Mueller the investigation will continue in the Southern District of NY.

5. How close to RICO is all of this going? Sounds pretty RICOish to me..n/t
