Developed probable cause instead of discovering it? Ouch.

Maybe,Mueller wants to use it for a bargaining chip.

“While we still don’t know exactly who has been indicted — or on what kinds of charges — the reporting, if true, should put to rest, with right-thinking folks (no pun intended) in this country, the notion that the special counsel’s investigation is a hoax or a witch hunt or fake news.”

Unless it is a Democrat charged.

The margin for a grand jury to advise for indictment is usually extremely low. The witch hunt started with grand jury appointment powers

Is he not aware that the entire purpose of a Witch Hunt is to dig up anything that they can charge a person with?

From national Treasure:

Sadusky: So, here is your options: Door number one - you go to prison for a very long time. Door number two - we’re going to get back the Declaration of Independence; you help us find it, and... you still go to prison for a very long time. But you’ll feel better inside.

Ben Gates: Is there a door that doesn’t lead to prison?

Sadusky: [laughing] Someone’s got to go to prison, Ben.

Scooter Libby’s jail time had nothing to do with central purpose of the Plame investigation, for example. It was just a perjury trap to ensnare someone, anyone at the White House on anything at all, when the person who actually revealed Plame’s identity was a) not in the White House, b) not a friend of the people the investigator was trying to ensnare at the White House, c) not even charged with anything, and c) known from the beginning of that never-ending fustercluck.

Scooter Libby testified truthfully to the best of his memory. It caught him in a perjury trap. Even at the time the special prosecutor Fitzgerald knew the leaker was Richard Armitage.

This was a total miscarriage of justice and Fitzgerald is pond scum in the extreme. Scooter Libby had no reason to lie. He was caught in a perjury trap by Fitzgerald. The office of a special prosecutor is a very bad thing. If the head of the Justice Department can not be impartial in a prosecution it is time for a new head of the Justice Department.

At high levels of justice in Washington DC there is little justice.

I hope you’re right.

I’m still holding out hope these indictments will be focused on Democrats.

Manafort has me worried. I hope he didn’t do something stupid.

Manafort doesn’t have me worried. He many have even been a Democrat mole in the Trump campaign, for all we know. He has a sordid history as a Swamp Creature himself, and I won’t lose any sleep if he faces prosecution.

Forgot to add that Hillary Clinton was much better when being investigated. She always said, “I can not recall.” Thus she avoided perjury.

In a few more years of drinking she really will not be able to recall. She really should not drink like a fish on warfarin. That is a no no. Other drugs can be used for anticoagulation for blood clots that she has a history of that do not interact critically with warfarin. Why is she not on those drugs instead of warfarin?

The answer is very simple. Warfarin is the only drug approved for anti coagulation for a heart valve patient. I assure you Hillary had a plumbing job done on her heart when she was out of the public eye due to her concussion. I hope she keeps drinking to excess. Bleeding out is most unpleasant.

This comes right after calls for Mueller to step down--maybe it is meant to make it impossible for Trump to try to remove him without immediate impeachment proceedings by the GOP establishment and the Democrats.

What if Mueller takes the nuclear option--instead of Manafort, indicts Jared Kushner and Donald Jr. for the meeting with the Russian lawyer? If the lawyer gave him a different version of the meeting he can charge them with perjury. Remember Scooter Libby.

How does a fish get access to warfarin?

“She really should not drink like a fish on warfarin.”

When I read that thought you meant she drinks like a fish on warfarin. I had never heard that expression, so I googled it. duh Then I figured out when you meant.

Yes - Mueller knows he himself was complicit in Uranium One.

It’s quite clear.

More accurately, Flynn was fired for lying to VP Pence about meeting with the Russian ambassador, not for merely talking with him.

It will be for financial dealings before the campaign. It will have nothing to do with collusion.

Should read “drink alcohol like a fish while taking warfarin.”
