[yardwork]

1. I hope that Pence is caught.

[AwakeAtLast]

28. Yes, and those in Congress who are complicit

Meaning all Republicans, of course!

[Blue_true]

41. That is why it is vital that we retake the House in 2018.

Pence won't go quickly, but we need to be ready when he does. I would much rather see Nancy Pelosi as Fillin President until the elections of 2020 rather that Paul Ryan or any other republican.

[lastlib]

72. Or, at the very least, knock off Lyin' Ryan in Wisconsin!

Granted, some other Repug could be almost as bad, but it would sweeten things to know he won't get to be pResidunce.

[Maeve]

2. This has been my hope for some time

Schneiderman is our ace in the hole and Mueller appears to know it. If tRump tries to go after the investigation on the federal level, the state level may be triggered, just like the safety letter in criminal fiction.

[GallopingGhost]

3. I think they mean

Schneiderman.

I so hope Pence is ensnared.

[dalton99a]

4. Kick

[lindysalsagal]

5. Well, not likely true if they can't even spell his name right: Schneiderman

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Schneiderman

[Dennis Donovan]

59. Yep! Thank you for pointing that out!

[Historic NY]

73. +1

[hlthe2b]

6. lots of typos, but since I'm guilty of that as well... Do you know anything about who is writing?

Is this someone within the NYAG's office or adjacent that could be in the know? Yes, I know we already know that the two are working together, but is there more to this than that? Anyone know this blogger?

[sprinkleeninow]

78. You quilty of tippos? 😉

[BSdetect]

7. McConnell and and Ryan are also in the zone

I hope they all go down as far as possible.

[SergeStorms]

66. Nunes as well.

That son-of-a-bitch needs to be nailed to the wall.

[gibraltar72]

8. Mueller is

the Lone Ranger!

[LuckyCharms]

9. This is my thought also.

Mueller is a fucking badass. These guys don't fuck around.

[Abouttime]

10. Pulling this string will unravel the entire government

Trump, Pence, Sessions, Ryan and many more are going to prison.
Our side will make a deal and Hillary will be installed as President.

[58Sunliner]

23. There is not a precedent for that, or is there something in the constitution?

[Fred Sanders]

27. No precedent for an election coup orchestrated by enemies foreign and domestic. If it

comes to pass that such a monstrous thing occurred the only option is another Presidential election.

And the national electoral commissions are already good to go for November. Just add another ballot for the abandoned WH!

[KPN]

38. Oh ... would but that be so!

And also that all Exec Orders and legislation signed by the criminal were automatically invalidated.

One can only dream.

[Blue_true]

43. No, the Leader of the U S House of Representatives become President.

And that person picks a Vice President. Even if the Speaker of the House is a republican, that person would be very wise to pick a Democrst as VP. But if the Soeaker is a Democrat, given what has happened, that person would be under no pressure to pick a republican as VP, the very opposite may be more important, picking a ethically pure Democrat as VP.

[Skittles]

56. do you think this is funny?

[thesquanderer]

71. "Installing" a president does not happen in a democracy.

Nor would we want it to, no matter who it was.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

76. Don't be ridiculous. There's no way under the Constitution

that this could happen.

[malaise]

11. This would be

FUGGING PERFECT!

[George II]

12. There most likely have been crimes committed in New Jersey, too. They'll have a Democratic...

...administration early next year.

I just hope they start filing charges early next year in NY, and possibly NJ.

Damn, that asset forfeiture is beautiful!

[Blue_true]

44. Is the AG in Jersey a Dem?

A republican AG would sit on his or her hands.

[George II]

49. The attorney general in New Jersey is appointed by the governor. Probably will be a Democrat.

[Blue_true]

60. Great to here that with a Dem coming in.

Again, we have a perfect illustration of the importance of intelligent voting in ALL elections.

[NJCher]

62. Here is info on who Phil Murphy intends to name AG for NJ

http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2017/12/phil_murphy_to_appoint_njs_first_sikh_attorney_gen.html

Prior to being Bergen County's top law enforcement officer, he worked as the former chief of the Economic Crimes Unit at the U.S. Attorney's Office under former federal prosecutor Paul Fishman.

[2naSalit]

13. Me too....nt

[Wounded Bear]

14. Sounds good to me...

I'd love to see Trump end up living in one of his old Brooklyn tenements.

[SHRED]

15. Can't wait!

[Stinky The Clown]

16. I'd love for this to happen as it causes even more damage to Trump even faster

BUT . . . . and it is a HUGE (Yooooge) B U T . . . . . this seems like just more rank speculation by some heretofore unknown political dreamer. Or a Russian operative skunking us.

So, while I would love it to be true, I will file it right next to Bigfoot stories.

[Gabi Hayes]

19. Was thinking bot, as well. The English is amusing

Hard to read in spots without a second assay.

[Gabi Hayes]

17. There is no statute dealing with collusion. Does the author speak English?

The grammar! Oh, the grammar!

[pangaia]

30. That was my take also.. the grammar, . missing commas, apostrophies, etc..

--cant spell that:&gt )

it's like when I type 1 finger on my cell...

20. Oh please, please make it so!

[mountain grammy]

21. Although I have little hope for this actually happening

A little hope is all I need today..

[IronLionZion]

22. That sounds great but how does this person know Mueller's plans?

I'll believe it when I see it. At that point you are most welcome to tell me "I told you so".

[Horizens]

40. I Agree but...

Park it in the back of my mind as a Holiday wish.

[bucolic_frolic]

24. This would be the quickest way

and immobilize them while the Russian campaign money trail ripples through Congress

I'm thinking we might know more before the end of January

[GoCubsGo]

25. This is why he brought in Schneiderman in the first place.

Along with all of the other RICO laws prosecutors. Got to hope he has laid similar traps for all of the co-conspirators in Congress, too.

[TEB]

83. Im sure they have them all in their sights

[eleny]

26. We'll know this has merit as soon as the Scneiderman smearing goes non stop 24/7

Hoping it's true, too.

[KPN]

39. Then let it begin!

[progressoid]

29. It's Fitzmas all over again.

[Gabi Hayes]

34. Man did I get coalraked for saying that when last weeks big bust was so assuredly announced in

advance

[eleny]

42. I remember those days

So much hope dashed. It was because soldiers were dying. Right now we aren't at that level of death but we worry with good reason that it's coming.

Somehow, the letdown will be worse if we don't get the relief the country deserves. Democracy is at stake.

[Javaman]

31. I hope so too. I want that orange asshole to be charge with violation of the

RICO act.

That's serious shit and very hard to slither out from under.

[Vilis Veritas]

36. Hope is easily taken advantage of...I believe nothing anymore unless I see it. nt

[Silver Gaia]

45. I believe this to be true based on what Schneiderman himself has said.

On November 29, he quoted himself from the GQ interview linked below in a tweet. The quote was:

"If we can’t get checks on the presidency from Congress, my office won’t hesitate to fill the space. I’m willing to bet on the rule of law.”

(NOTE: "by Congress" could be taken two ways: 1) the Congressional committees fail to act, or 2) Congress fails to act when Mueller concludes his investigation and recommends impeachment.)

Evidently, Schneiderman wanted to stress that point by tweeting it as a quote. I have long felt that he is part of the backup plan. If for any reason, it is necessary for him to step in so that justice prevails, I believe he will not hesitate to do do. Whenever I begin to feel hopeless, I remind myself of this.

[CrispyQ]

46. You should make this an original post & title it,

For those who need a glimmer of hope.

Thanks for this!

[Silver Gaia]

63. Glad I could help!

And thanks, I may do that.

[BigmanPigman]

57. I read that the AG in Baltimore is going to get Jared

on real estate ethics. The states AGs are our back-up plan! It doesn't matter if The Moron and Jared are pardoned in the eyes of the states' courts either.

[Silver Gaia]

64. Interesting! And yup, Trump can't pardon state charges.

Justice WILL prevail.

[mr_lebowski]

80. Was "Schneiderman" ever spelled correctly even once in this 'article'?

I see at least 2 other spellings, both wrong ... which makes it kinda hard to take it seriously IMHO.

[Silver Gaia]

81. I don't care about that. My opinion is not based on this meme,

with or without spelling and/or grammatical errors, but on the actual words of Eric Schneiderman. Did you read my initial post? Did you look at the article I linked?

[citizen blues]

47. Two prior pieces of information

1) It came out several months ago that Mueller was coordinating with NY prosecutors, and that state charges were likely to be filed first. If federal charges are brought and Trump pardons, then state charges cannot be filed for the same crimes because it would be double jeopardy. However, if state charges were filed first, Trump could do nothing about it because his pardon authority is at the federal level only.

2) One of the first people who Mueller brought on his team was the prosecutor who brought down the Gambino and Gotti crime families. Looks like Mueller has been approaching the investigation the same way as he would going after any other big name crime family.

Of course, this means that even if Mueller is fired, the Trump and Kushner families, among others, will still be left in financial ruin. Firing Mueller won’t stop that. Then what would be left to do is the mopping up the political side with charges like conspiracy against the United States, obstruction of justice, and sedition. And that could encompass most of the GOP.

they all cashed out. they hopin for the base and a little luck. I think we should go the Bama route.

67. They can set up a GoFundMe account to try and raise the billion dollars

to pay off their creditors so they won't have to sleep with the fishes.

[SummerSnow]

51. Oh the poetic justice..New York brings down New Yorker.

[SummerSnow]

52. I saw this on that same site...

http://republicanidiots.tumblr.com/image/168822324848

[GallopingGhost]

53. I've thought this

for a long time.

Satisfying as it would be to nail them on collusion/treason, everyone knows the Repubs would do nothing about it except spin, lie, deny and say so what?

They're going to get him where it hurts and where they can make it stick. Financial crimes.

[Sanity Claws]

54. Civil Rico or criminal Rico?

A president can’t be indicted. That makes me think it is civil Rico. However IIRc the mob families were brought down by criminal Rico.

[Ferrets are Cool]

55. We can hope.nm

[rock]

58. This sounds like a plausible scenario

But the important thing is not that this is just a plausible scenario but that plausible scenarios exist and one may be true.

[Perseus]

61. Please, please, let it be true...

If this happens, as explained above, my belief in the justice system, and that of many will surely be restored.

[MarcA]

65. While we are hoping - would like to see the kochs and mercers added.

[TalenaGor]

69. omg oh please oh please .....

Like....no possible better outcome unless followed by an omarosa inspired frog march

[lutherj]

70. One fly in the ointment. A sitting president can't be indicted, only

impeached. Only once he's out of office could he be indicted. What would Trump do if he were counting down the days until he's out on the street and vulnerable?

[summer_in_TX]

74. Mmmm, it seems like indictment is at least a possibility

But state indictments may be more easily done.

I found the discussion in this July 27 article rather hard to follow.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-president-can-be-indicted--just-not-by-mueller/2017/07/27/a597b922-721d-11e7-8f39-eeb7d3a2d304_story.html?utm_term=.754d3cd79276

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

75. That makes almost no sense.

Who exactly wrote this? What is that person's first language? Not English, so far as that paragraph indicates.

This partial sentence in particular makes zero sense:

state attorney were Scheiderman will file RICO charges against Trump based on 2 predicates of RICO.

[sprinkleeninow]

77. There is a Christmas Carol nicely sung by the kiddos at Kings College, U.K.

"Ding Dong Merrily On High".

I change part of the lyrics to reflect
His Most Excellence, Robert Mueller:
"Ding Dong STEALTHILY On High".

[Kablooie]

79. This would be great but how does this guy know? Mueller doesn't leak.

It must be speculation.
I assumed something like this could be a backup plan if Mueller is fired.
It sounds a lot better than letting Congress make the final decision.

[Angry Dragon]

82. This would truly be a sweet christmas present

[triron]
