    Is it too much to hope Sessions will be on the list eventually? :?:

    I can see Sessions getting the boot, but not for the reasons you want. Most likely so that Trump can try and put in someone who hasn't recused themselves from the Trump-Russia prosecution.

    Sessions is unfirable and Trump knows it. Sessions knows where the bodies are buried so to speak and that is why Trump backed down when he publicly threatened to fire Sessions. Sessions has been in Washington for so long he knows how the game is played and he no doubt told Trump he'd spill the beans if Trump didn't show loyalty to him. That is why baby hands Trump tucked tail and ran away from his threat to fire Sessions months ago.

    There is confirmation of the sealed charges every where in the news. It looks like Mueller is going to help make America great again.

    I half expect Trump to refuse to pardon the turkey and to eat it. ;)

    Yes, I saw that. Someone show him a copy of Der Untergang, perhaps he can at least learn how to do hysterical breakdowns in style.

    It's fairly obvious that some Russian purchases of Trump properties for above market value were money laundering operations, the only issue is whether you could prove Trump was cognizant. And he's done a bang-up job of proving he couldn't tell shit from diamonds.

    thing is, Manafort had his hands in so much shit, you can find several ways to bust him without it directly implicating Trump. He's basically the "gimme" target (along with Flynn) but there's a very complex web of stuff going back decades that eventually all ties together, just depending on how badass Mueller wants to be.


    Also, Roger Stone got permabanned from Twitter which is hilarious

    Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has been indicted on 12 counts including conspiracy against the United States, according to the office of Special Counsel Bob Mueller.

    Manafort's former business partner and protege Rick Gates, who was ousted from the pro-Trump group America First Policies in April, has also been charged.

    The two have also been charged with money laundering, acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign principal, misleading the government about the nature of their foreign lobbying efforts and making false statements, as well as seven counts of failure to file the appropriate government documents for foreign financial accounts.

    Fair enough. Conspiracy to hide money from the government but not to rig an election.

    True, none of the current charges are directly related to the election.

    Former Trump Foreign Policy Adviser Pleaded Guilty in Mueller Probe

    A former foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign, George Papadopoulos, secretly pleaded guilty as part of Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Bloomberg News' Tom Schoenberg reports.

    Papadopoulos had suggested that Donald Trump meet with top Russian leaders during the campaign. He pleaded guilty to making false statements during an interview with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

    Manafort at least. But he'll sing like a bird with that allegation. So I'm hoping for someone even more interesting and more damaging to Donne Small-Hands. Like Kushner... or Donnie Jr.
