doesn't it seem that Putin and Trump are racing against against time. Mueller can't be allowed to

finish his investigation. Even without getting to a final report, the information that Mueller does publish will be enough to bring Trump down.

The mention of the magnitsky act is an indication that trump is going to lift sanctions on russia. Flynn was promising that to Putin before the election was decided. With Trump's polling staying low, he can't wait for a better time to lift sanctions.

It's going to come together: shut down the investigation, get rid of rosenstein, lift sanctions.

There is no sign that Putin cares if Trump survives this explosion.

Putin kills political critics. If Mueller is successful and Trump goes down, Putin loses.

Mueller needs protection now. I don't trust them.

If he is impeached - Russia has infiltrated the US Presidency. That's pretty big.

If he isn't impeached, he can continue playing the US like a fiddle. Equally big.

The only protection we have as a country is the former. But either way, (well, you know) we look like idiots.

No pee tape. Just a plan to rule the world and split the money. Only problem is why split it when you can have all. Putin don’t play fair.
