“What if they are going after Clinton?”
Diane Feinstein notwithstanding I don’t think they’re going after Clinton. I believe they are all out to sabotage Trump. I hope I’m wrong.
I was surprised and appalled to find out that Comey cleared his testimony with Muellar in advance. I was also surprised (and not sure I believe) that Sekulow is officially part of Trump’s legal team. You’ll probably get tired of hearing this from me, but Trump is surrounded by assassins. There never should have been a special counsel appointed here. There is nothing positive to be had from it. Many others have commented on the close relationship between Comey and Muellar.
Trump should be pissed about Sessions recusing himself from the Russian probe. Maybe his testimony to Congress in the coming week will share some light on why he felt compelled to do so. I know he had a meeting or 3 with the Russian Ambassador, but not sure there was any there there.
Someone’s hide will be had here. Probably Manafort, maybe Flynn, maybe Page, maybe Kushner. Whatever Muellar comes up with, and it won’t be nothing, it will be bad news for Trump. Look for the first hat to drop before the 2018 mid-term elections. A big prize would be Kushner or Sessions, if they want to try to significantly influence the outcome of the HOR elections. I think the Trump base will maintain the GOP majority and I still think it possible the GOP majority in the election could increase, but I may very well be indulging in wishful thinking.
I disagree on the Sessions recusal. I think he had no choice. Not because of any meeting with the arussians but because he was a part of the campaign. The good part is this frees him up to testify.
Meuller is at the end of his career, he won’t want it to end dirty. I think we may well be surprised. If Comey could not find anything after a year, what makes you think Meuller will be able to fabricate something.
