Cletus predicts.
RR will NOT resign.
House will impeach; party lines.
Senate will NOT convict. (Question: Can the Senate simply decline to hold trial?)
RR remains in DAG position.
What remains to be seen is how much damaging info comes out of the Senate trial. Collateral damage to FIBers Strzok and McCabe, possibly Page. RR will throw them all under the bus. Could extend to Brennan.
Still no follow up anywhere on the “Dual Spook” role of Strzok.
Social media shenanigans is a common topic for Q ...
@realDonaldTrumpTwitter "SHADOW BANNING" prominent Republicans. Not good. We will look into this discriminatory and illegal practice at once! Many complaints.
Q: “Something BIG is about to DROP.”
Think I found what that means.....
Remember the freQuent saying: “The Hammer” is about to drop???

That's a great question, and one that has a parallel in Senate confirmation. In the realm of confirmation, those who advocate for Senate inaction say there is nothing in the constitution that compels the Senate to consider a nominee.
Well, there is nothing in the constitution that compels the Senate to act on an impeachment either.
The Senate can and does whatever it wants. It is not bound by anything other than pure politics and power. The rules can all be waived, and as we saw with Corker and the Iran deal, even the constitutional provisions relating to treaties can be undercut. The Senate can make a rule that unanimity is required to pass all legislation - right now the senate rule is that a supermajority is required to pass legislation, so the Senate operates under a minority veto system.
The Senate is a joke, it is a totally dysfunctional body. Its members are arrogant crap weasels.
All that said, the Senate would almost certainly take up an impeachment case. To do otherwise would smell so bad, the public would notice.
Here’s what I’m guessing (yes, guessing):
If the House impeaches, that will force RR to be recused and oversight of Mueller will be handled in the interim by someone else (thinking white hat).
If this guess is accurate, then it plays to the advantage of the good guys for the Democrats to drag the trial out as long as possible.
At the trial, all the dirt will come out. If the Dems rush to trial before November and lots of Dem dirt comes out, maybe the Dems will be put between a rock and a hard place and weigh whether defending RR quickly is better than just dragging out the trial and just jawboning about how the GOP is impeaching RR to protect Trump while a white hat provides “adult leadership” to Mueller.
My 1 1/2 cents,
Go Trump - MAGA
Go Melania aka Lady MAGA
Q is real
LOL! And that's one reason I never go there!
I'll highlight the high points, but worth a read IMHO.

This is how you know the endgame is starting:
My theory is that Rosenstein is willing to play the ‘bad’ guy in this slow rollout strategy.
...
If my ‘slow rollout’ theory is correct, after months of threatening Rosenstein with impeachment, the time finally arrived to hit him with an actual impeachment bill in the House. Now Rosenstein can do his part & play scared & suddenly cough up everything.
...
Some if it might be theater. Some of it might be quite real. Whatever is happening behind the scenes, all signs point to real movement.
...
Rosenstein *might* be a real bad guy. He might also be *playing a necessary role he’s been asked to play*.
Food for thought.

I like the ‘slow rollout’ theory. Rosenstein can't give up information that's being used in an ongoing investigation, can he?
He's not supposed to make it public, but DOJ routinely discloses this type of material in classified setting to Congress.
One way or the other, the facts are going to come out. I do agree that it is better for Trump if the facts come out without being forced out by Trump order. To that end, Meadows and Jordan are assisting Trump.
In the abstract, disclosing facts should not hurt Mueller. Those who say disclosing facts is a way to undercut the Mueller investigation are signaling that the Mueller investigation is tainted at best. Watch the arguments changes as disclosure occurs. Already the NYT and others are saying the redacted FISA warrant applications prove that they are fully on the up and up, no errors, totally justified request, all relevant facts fully disclosed to the FISA court.
As for Rosenstein, I think he is a skunk in fact, as are Mueller, Weissman, Strzok, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, and a host of others who did and are doing all they can to curtail Trump's agenda.
We should also keep in mind that there are not enough votes in the Senate to convict. Also, the Senate Intel Comte is compromised.

I hope, if true, it is revealed in full. Thank you!
I doubt there are enough votes in the House to impeach. Just the same, the articles of impeachment do raise relevant issues about this entire witch hunt process that has been launched against Trump, and jacked-up on steroids by Rosenstein.
-- ... the Senate Intel Comte is compromised. --
Deep state. Not a lick of independence, they will parrot, endorse and support whatever the CIA and others hold.
The whole point is to get the info unclassified and made public. So either RR caves and releases the info, or he stonewalls and POTUS declassifies it. I’m inclined to go with the former. But either one works for me.
Lots of good theories!
I just remembered Q’s post (1439) about Ed O’Callahan. Somehow he figures into this, I think.
More Americans than ever find Democrats out of the mainstream
Excerpt...
Let’s get right to the good stuff: In a new poll conducted by NBC News and The Wall Street Journal, just 33 percent of those surveyed think the Democratic Party is “in the mainstream.” More than half (56 percent) consider them out of step.
Just two years ago in 2016, those numbers were far different: 48 percent mainstream, 42 percent out. That means the “mainstream” number has plunged 12.5 percent, a huge drop in just two years.
Man, it’s not easy being a Democrat these days.
Discovery only happens after the indictment and before the trial.
No impeachment, no discovery. Roseyweasel will NOT resign.
Thanks for that reminder.
Keep an eye on the bearded man behind the Weasel!
Wow that was one hell of a read. Thanks for sharing,
