I Am in Awe of Mueller's Epic Troll of The Republicans. It's Like a Reality Show Reveal!!!!

Well, since Friday's announcement we've seen Roger Stone, Sean Hannity, and Donald Trump in complete meltdown mode.

We've watched the entire right go full on batshit crazy demanding HRC's arrest.

And now this:

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/grand-jury-approves-first-charges-mueller-s-russia-probe-report-n815246


Here's a delicious thought: Mueller is under absolutely no obligation to inform the DOJ as to how the grand jury voted. Sessions has no right to call him to question him. So it's entirely possible Sessions and Trump find out when we do. Guess who's up right now, watching six screens of tv? It's been 19 hours since he last tweeted.

It's like a reality show, managed perfectly for greatest exposure. My hat is off to Mr. Mueller.

Mueller's Special Counsel's Office will make public an indictment on Monday, a U.S. official with firsthand knowledge of the process confirmed to NBC News, without disclosing the name of the target or the nature of the charges
. The timing was confirmed by a second source familiar with the matter.




Did the official confirm the indictment without disclosing, or will the announcement be confirmed without disclosure. Poor writing!!!!

the first. But, the way articles are written these days, the second may be correct.

The indictment will be made public without the disclosures. If it were otherwise, "without disclosing" would have been "but did not disclose".

The little weasel is up to his ears in this mess. He will sing like a canary rather than let his tiny wrinkled little arse go to prison. Come to think of it, any one of them would. Kushner, The tRump "boys" Beavis and Butthead, Manafort, Stone, Miller any of them.

... and not be disappointed if it doesn't happen or is a low-level functionary or is a so-called "process violation".

Remember Fitzmas. It was small and that was it.

This is likely to be small, but it is also likely to be only the beginning, or maybe the end of the beginning.

And, I expect, Trump and Sessions are either targets OR have been informed of what was filed. If Rosenstein has not informed Sessions, it likely means he cannot because Sessions is either a subject of the obstruction of justice inquiry or has become a witness to Trump's obstruction. If Sessions was informed of the charges and did not inform Trump, Trump is probably a target.
If Trump has not been informed, he knows he's in deep state shit.

He has no say in this as Meuller is investigating Russian collusion in 2016 election, which Keebler Elf has excluded himself.

Sessions is out of the loop, legally!

as AG, he can be informed if indictments are handed down. As to whether or not he is informed, that can reveal more about what is happening. Is he a target for perjury?
