1. I wonder if Mueller has a plan for the endgame.

It's not impossible that Mueller presents evidence that would send any other man to the gallows and the congressional Republicans say, "Yeah, whatever."

Prosecutors don't go to all this trouble and let the guy at the top get away with it.

3. Given he still seems to be in the mode of gathering evidence

I'm not sure he can fully realize what the end game will be specifically.

What I'm sure he realizes is that he may well be out of the game long before the end of the game and so, they're probably taking extra care that the evidence collected does not disappear.

7. If trump fires Mueller that is the endgame as there will be massive, multi-city protests...

that won't be one-day events.

This is building to an unprecedented Congressional crisis that will spill into the streets.

trump's supporters will react also and there could be violence, the National Guard called out.

Congress will have to move to either enact the 25th Amendment or begin impeachment proceedings.

9. We were after Nixon long before he resigned

If he fires Mueller, I'm all for a general strike until he resigns.

Even if he was legitimately elected, which I'm convinced he was not, he's too messed up mentally to continue. He needs to go (not that Mike Pence will be that much better ..).

When his time comes, however, I think the Donald will scream a lot more than she.

6. Underlying all of the lies and cover-ups is one thing: money
Tue Dec 5, 2017, 01:20 PM

I'm paraphrasing what I was just hearing:

Trump didn't really expect to win but he and Kushner were desperate for some cash, especially for the balloon payment on 666 5th Avenue (Kushner's big foray). So they approached the russians, got an "advance" via Deutch Bank, and here we are...

It'll be interesting how the russian mafia gets even with dump and kushner when they don't get a good return on their "investment". Hope it doesn't once again come out of the hides of real americans.
