Is it "Dragnet" or "Super Bowl 99"? Which TV show is it?

Is the current situation with Mr. Trump the TV show "Dragnet" or a "Super Bowl" game? Dragnet was a TV show with a pair of policemen who always captured the criminal. The leader was an officer named Sargent Friday. Sargent Friday had years of experience in capturing all kinds of criminals. Once in a great while there was some kind of variation of this. Nevertheless, we knew how it was going to end. The criminal would be captured and sentenced, and we would always see that sentence at the end of the show.

..Super Bowl is a game that we do not know the end. Anything can happen and the game goes into extra sessions if necessary. There is no special pattern and no predictable end. Sometimes the game is totally one sided, and other times it is so close that nobody knows how it will end. And the show could go on a lot longer than anyone would expect. Also, no one knows the winner ahead of time.

My opinion is, it is "Dragnet." While any thing could happen in some aspects of the case, I believe the question is not if Mr. Trump will be found guilty, but what type of crime and when will he be found guilty. Will the show continue a few weeks, or months? In the end, I think Mr. Trump will be found guilty, and the sentence for him and his gang will be totally announced. Some of the announcements have already been made, but others are to be determined. And this officer, Mr. Mueller, like Sargent Friday, will get the whole gang. Also, like Sargent Friday, Mr. Mueller has plenty of experience in capturing criminals and gangs. This is not his first program.

Patience. Who will win ? Trump or Mueller?

1. As we look at the conflict, we need to ask, who is smarter? Trump or Mueller?
2. More important. Who has more experience at what he is currently doing?
3. Who has a smarter and more experienced team right now?
4. Which individual has more patience, and which has the ability to look beyond the current
issues to see the entire picture? Who is most likely to win this? Who has the ability to focus on
doing one job at a time, and is not sidetracked by phony issues?
5. Who do you think is most dedicated to finding a fair solution to this problem?
6. Who do you think will win?

Patience.. I believe the smarter, more experienced individual and that individual's team will win. Mueller is dedicated to this job and has accomplished part of the job, and that part is over. People very close to Trump have been indicted, convicted and awaiting sentence. The report will be out soon. Patience. Why? I think we know the answers to the above questions, and what is likely to happen. If Mueller has patience, then we must have it too.

Do you think that Trump knows what is coming for his family and himself?

From Mueller and the Justice Department? And NY State Justice Department?
The man who always saved him, was recommended today for 4 years in Jail..(judge will determine final sentence.)


What now for Trump & family?

Rex Tillerson Just Exposed Trump's Greates Weakness: CNN, Analysis by Chris Cillizza

https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/07/politics/donald-trump-rex-tillerson/index.html:

Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large
Updated 3:12 PM ET, Fri December 7, 2018
_________________________________________________________________________________________
(CNN) — Since being fired by President Donald Trump as secretary of state, Rex Tillerson has kept a very low profile. But on Thursday night in Houston, Tillerson broke that silence in a big way.

Here's how he described the "why" behind the breakdown of his relationship with the President, according to the Houston Chronicle:

"So often, the President would say here's what I want to do and here's how I want to do it and I would have to say to him, Mr. President I understand what you want to do but you can't do it that way. It violates the law."

The President of the United States would tell the secretary of state how he wanted things done and the secretary of state would have to tell him it couldn't be done the way he wanted because that was illegal?

What's scary about Tillerson's admission? A few things.

1) Trump either doesn't know the law or doesn't care about the law

2) This isn't the first time we've heard of this sort of I-am-the-law, Judge Dredd-like behavior from the President.

Imagine if you can..at 5:18 am the President of the United States saying this:

"Robert Mueller and Leakin’ Lyin’ James Comey are Best Friends, just one of many Mueller Conflicts of Interest"

That is, .. Trump is making a public statement that the special prosecutor and the ex head of the FBI have "Conflicts of Interest". Almost saying that a special prosecutor and ex head of the FBI have broken the law. That is a public statement by the President of the United States at 5:13am. (that is what Trump is doing and saying)

Almost like holding a "press conference" with no questions or answers at 5:18 in the morning, making baseless accusations to defend himself from possible prosecution. At 5:18 in the morning?..He calls it a "witch hunt"..

....at 5:18am??? most people are just getting up?? ..having a cup of coffee..going to the bathroom etc...

But our current President, Donald Trump decides in his "wisdom" and "brilliance" decides to make a public statement to the country at 5:18am...(to get his side of the story out early because of possible actions by the "special prosecutor".

at .....5:18am in the morning??...........HE IS NUTS!!!!! AND THIS PROVES IT. !!!!! ...

The key to understanding Trump is in our forum. The key is about "tweeting."

........UTUSN ..posted it ...about what Giuliani said about answering questions for Mueller:

part of the title that post is "...it took 3 weeks that normally would take 2 days "
Here is the link to the entire post:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100211518953

Here is the key to Understanding Donald Trump....from that post. just 2 sentences:

“I don’t think there’s anyone in the world that can stop Donald Trump from tweeting,” Giuliani said. “I’ve tried.”
..........People close to Trump have tried to stop him from tweeting. It is now in the open for everyone to see.......Even Giulani has tried..Why does this help us to understand Trump and see that he is
dangerous.....It is obvious about the "tweeting"

It is so obvious.. 1. The tweeting is not good for Trump's image
........................2. The tweeting is not good for Donald Trump
........................3. The tweeting is not good for Donald Trump's family
........................4. The tweeting is not good for the office of "President of the United States of America"
........................MOST IMPORTANT....................
.......................5. The tweeting is not good for the United States of America..you and me and all of us here.]

So someone has tried to stop him. .He doesn't give a shit. He doesn't care about 1,2,3.4.

...............................ESPECIALLY NUMBER 5, Now it is out there for all of us to see....It is in open.."He doesn't give a shit." He has been told to stop by a trusted advisor. "The answer is N0...I will do what I want, even though it hurts numbers 4 and 5. ".
....There is it..the smoking gun..It may not seem that way, because it is very simple. It is the proof everyone needs. He refuses to stop what most consider a destructive behavior. We all know that the tweeting is bad for him and for us........ Thank You for reading this.

So now, 2 insiders in the Trump world, are singing a song.."Good by Mr. Trump"

In Watergate is was one main insider..NOW IT IS TWO!

well, well, 2 is better than 1..What do you think?. Flynn and Cohen are a team that knows..
...................................................................... And down Mr. Trump goes.

What do you think John Dean has to say about this? Dean served some time if I recall. But Dean told the truth and helped to bring down Nixon..

Trump thinks he and his family are "immune" from being hurt. He hasn't got a clue.

This is a different show at a different time and place. The people who are after him now will get him. He can say whatever he wants, it won't matter. Whatever he does now, it won't matter. He committed crimes and all of it will be exposed. Yes, all of it. He somehow has been protected in the past, but not this time. His words mean nothing. His words don't matter. What matters is those who have been indicted and being tried by Mueller. Those people are finally telling the truth. Trump & family are not immune. They will go down. They will go down very hard. He doesn't have a clue.

Outstanding video that shows Trump lying, also, examples of "collusion"...posted by Kepte.

I corrected link error....

Watch this. Great Video now in Video and Multimedia. This almost proves that Trump is guilty of impeachment. But that is my opinion only..

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
