I can't find much info on Robert Mueller's all star roster, but he definitely has (at least) one prosecutor known nationally for converting guilty parties into solid informants.

Isn't the word "Scaramucci" part of the lyrics of the Bohemian Rhapsodie?

Slight good news though. Kushner agreed to go in front of the House Intel Committee on Tuesday, after his private "interview" with "staff" (not Senators) on Monday's Senate Intel Committee hearing. And I think Tuesday is public.

Damnit, this is wrong. It's hidden. The whole week is closed. I hate this Trump/GOP gov't.

It's all a lie. Nobody is talking about pardons. Now, here's my own major lie in return.

And of course, even Jared with his BILLIONS of dollars in Russian blackmail can't fix the problems our newspapers are causing in the Middle East.

EDIT: It's a Saturday morning tweet-massacre! This one is great evidence showing that Mueller is competent and can be trusted to do his job...as long as the results don't hurt Trump or anyone Trump doesn't want hurt. The courts can tuck this statement away for later use.

Manafort strikes me as a good option to turn. He is a flat out opportunist and has zero outside loyalties. The only real opposition is if someone might want to gift him some polonium.

But he is certainly not going to go down protecting everyone because of loyalty, morals or ethics.

he just gave an hour long wide ranging interview to the nytimes from the oval office 2 days ago. why didn't he mention their treasonous protection of ISIS leader from the US military?

maybe because it's not at all true and he's desperately trying to deflect attention away from his own treasonous actions? hmm maybe

Also props to Dummy in Chief thinking the Amazon Washington Post is a slur instead of a compliment.

What does acid washing have to do with e-mails?

This dude is so lucky that despite how incompetent, ignorant, and selfish he and his government is, the country is doing very well.

It's very confusing to his supporters, because how could something so bad make their jeans look so good?

Seems like a slur to WaPo to me.

Ah thanks. I can't see turning anyone guilty of federal crimes being worthwhile as long as Drumpf is in the WH. Close to 100% to get pardoned if you have anything on Drumpf/Drumpf family.

Any lawyers wanna take a look at this NYT piece? It's a game changer if Trump can be indicted.

I'm not reading the article, but it's just a legal memo, it doesn't change anything.

I think part of what gives me hope is that for the most part, this country runs itself on the state/local level. I've always been more partial to "big government" style of governing until this presidency, now I'm ****ing glad states have as much autonomy as they do. I live in california so we'll more or less be fine despite whatever disastrous healthcare repeal they roll out. Other states won't be so lucky.

What is the line on at least one constitutional amendment curtailing presidential powers being passed within the next five years? Got to be really likely.

Scenarios

1. Trump does something like have his opposition sent to Guantanamo, there's a coup and Trump is deposed, and then a substantial movement and candidate based on rolling back Presidential powers.

2. Someone like Bernie or E.Warren win in 2020, but the Republicans get even bigger leads in congress and in the states.

I'd say the odds are longer than 50-1 though.
