Who is the next target on Mueller's list?

Since Manafort will reportedly surrender information about the Trump Tower meeting with Don Jr, Jared, and the several Russians, it would be a good guess that the next target will be either Jared or Don Jr?

The White House in its entirety is feeling the pressure from this investigation. Trump could save himself and his family a lot of grieve if he were to resign immediately. The circle is getting smaller. The walls are getting closer.

If I were to guess further, my guess would be that the next target may be Jared Kushner? Who knows how well he and Ivanka get along? Trump would accept the loss of Jared, so long as his family stays intact.

Once the indictment comes down for Don Jr, there are no more corners to hide in.

Much will depend on how much information they get from Paul Manafort?

Level 3: Manafort, Cohen, Stone, (Pecker?)

Level 2: Jr., Jared, Derapaska? (in absentia).

Level 1: Orangeman.

IMHO.

Wonder where Kilimink ends up in this mess.

I would have liked to see a video of Randy Credico doing that.

Maybe the thought is, if Jared is first, he will implicate Jr., and visa versa.

And I don't think trump* cares, beyond how it will reflect on him. I have little doubt that he would toss everyone, except for maybe Ivanka' under what ever bus Mueller is driving his way.

We don't know what kind of feints Mueller throws. No one thought they were that close to having the Manafort deal. I think Mueller is very good at misinformation campaigns. That being said look at the organizational chart. Not that many above campaign chair. Stone might fill in a few blanks.

Then Hannity.

Then Eric, Don Jr.

Then Jared.

Then Ivanka.

Then Pence, if he doesn't resign.

Then Trump, if he doesn't resign.


The key is to release the indictments and/or compel the resignations after terms begin in January 2019 and new Democratic Speaker is in place.

I think Mueller will go after every else BUT family first.

THEN, he'll use the family to leverage Trump. He did it with Cohen and, to an extent, with Manafort.

In the end, it'll be Mueller with the ultimatum to Trump: "I've got 3 of your kids and your son-in-law dead to rights; all of them will serve at least 5 years behind bars for their crimes. Either confess and resign, or I'll bring all my powers to bear against them...and you. I will not make this offer a second time".
