Prediction: New Indictment Coming

[kennetha]

Prediction ... a major and very surprising and constitutionally unproblematic indictment is about to break out of the Southern District of New York.

The indictment will not be an indictment of Donald Trump per se.

But ... drum roll please....

of the Trump Organization

For conspiracy to commit campaign finance violations.

That will enable the Justice Department to get around the perhaps murky constitutional question of whether a sitting president can be indicted. Remember Arthur Anderson was indicted during the Enron case. And that led to the collapse of that corporation. The Trump Organization is perhaps headed for a similar fate.

Wouldn't that be sweet?

1. Makes sense

[RockRaven]

2. I suspect that Trump Org employees (not the kids tho) will get indicted first

but I agree that eventually Trump Org and the 3 oldest kids will all get indicted.

[wishstar]

4. The employees would have been directed by Trump and/or the kids

so noose definitely tightening. Also NY State criminal case is now moving forward against the Trump Foundation with a number of serious charges possible and Trump was directly responsible for all transactions.

[SallyHemmings]

6. I bet the employees kept records

[Amaryllis]

8. ANd they will be flippers, no question.

[DeminPennswoods]

3. My spidey sense

thinks there's at least another indictment coming before Labor Day, too.

12. Like WHOA !! This dude has been a busy person

[Wwcd]

15. Yup. He is Absolutely Commited. And his prosecutors are world known in RICO, and Mob Crimes

No criminal should feel confident facing Team Mueller.

We are fortunate indeed.

31. I like Mueller, but he is no saint, and fingered an innocent man.

When Comey and Mueller Bungled the Anthrax Case

Instead, Mueller, who micromanaged the anthrax case and fell in love with the dubious dog evidence, personally assured Ashcroft and presumably George W. Bush that in Steven Hatfill the bureau had its man. Comey, in turn, was asked by a skeptical Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz if Hatfill was another Richard Jewell – the security guard wrongly accused of the Atlanta Olympics bombing. Comey replied that he was “absolutely certain” they weren’t making a mistake.

Such certitude seems to be Comey’s default position in his professional life. Mueller didn’t exactly distinguish himself with contrition, either. In 2008, after Ivins committed suicide as he was about to be apprehended for his crimes, and the Justice Department had formally exonerated Hatfill – and paid him $5.82 million in a legal settlement – Mueller could not be bothered to walk across the street to attend the press conference announcing the case’s resolution. When reporters did ask him about it, Mueller was graceless. “I do not apologize for any aspect of the investigation,” he said, adding that it would be erroneous “to say there were mistakes.”

10. That would be delicious.

Do you have an insight or is this an educated guess? If it's an educated guess, I see its basis.

[kennetha]

11. An uneducated guess.

[TomSlick]

13. Oh, I don't know.....

As I say, I see a factual basis for the guess. I like it as a theory.

Is there any history of ESP, prescience, second-sight, etc. in your family?

[TomSlick]

17. Rachel just confirmed your story.

Seems you have the power.

[kennetha]

22. What did Rachel say?

I'll have to catch the rebroadcast tonight.

[TomSlick]

24. The NYT (I think) reports

the Manhattan DA is about to charge The Trump Organization.

Do you play the numbers?

[TomSlick]

25. Here you go.

18. Didn't trump issue a check from the trump organization to reimburse Cohen for one of the affairs?

[2naSalit]

19. He did...nt

[George II]

20. That constitutes a contribution from a business entity.

[dhol82]

21. O.M.G.

This is sweet!

[RussBLib]

23. And the Trump Foundation is in their sights too

They used their charity like a piggy bank. Just lowlife grifter thugs through and through. And Ivanka and the boys are named in that one.

[Duppers]

26. Done.

The sons will also go down.

Juicy.

[beastie boy]

27. Check out Hip Chick's recent post re: Manhattan DA Eyes Criminal Charges Against Trump Organization

Not just the Trump Organization, but Beavis and Butthead personally, as principal executives of the said organization.

Very prescient of you!

[iluvtennis]

28. Would love it

[Mme. Defarge]

29. God willing

and the creek don’t rise. Maybe he’ll resign if his business is seriously threatened.

[Dopers_Greed]

30. And Trump couldn't pardon the Trump Organization, correct?
