On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” Weekly Standard Editor-at-Large Bill Kristol reacted to the raid of Trump lawyer Michael Cohen by stating he believes the move is either part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, or in concert with Mueller’s wishes. He further said that the move is “war” and “shows that we are very close now to the end game.”
Kristol said, “[I]f Robert Mueller asked the Southern District of New York not to do this now, they would have held off. I mean, he has sort of precedence here. So, I’m a little doubtful that this is not either part of his investigation or in accord with his wishes. I mean, this is a huge escalation. They obviously can’t use privileged documents. They’ll have to set those aside. They’ll be reviewed by — as I understand it, a third party reviews them and they set what’s privileged and not. But this is war. …

Which US military? The enlisted ranks that voted for Trump or the officers that didn't? The white troops that voted for Trump or the minority troops that didn't?
How does the military remove Deep State in the first place?
It is war and people will die, the coup folks are not going to bend over and die, they will go for our throat, they must get rid of the investigation against them or they go to jail, this is obvious..betrayer
M is looking for an exit strategy after finding absolutely nothing, the one scenario they did not consider.
I think M is looking to get fired and then claim the final "evidence" was removed from his offices by PDJT operatives after he was removed, which will "prove" that President Trump is guilty of "something" but nobody will ever know what that something was.
M will not be able to say what "it" was because he was fired before he could connect all the dots and his "integrity" will not allow him to speculate.
They will be able to beat that drum forever.
It is obvious you don’t understand where the military is politically at this moment.
he is trying to blame someone else to take attention away from the coup bunch, I say arrest them and charge them with treason, fire Mueller, sessions, and all the corrupt bastardos that will not obey the law..how about today, fear never wins
I like the idea of POTUS pardoning every person charge by Mueller.
Not pre-announced, but sequentially, as charged.
That way he never has to fire Mueller.
And, NOBODY but Congress can say jack about it.
His exit strategy should be to do a thorough investigation and then announce that despite the thorough investigation he’s found nothing that a reasonable prosecutor would prosecute. I have a fantasy that that’s exactly what he’s doing. In order to retain credibility with the Dems he’s got to do a thorough job. But if he can’t find anything then that’s just the way it is.
LOL! I can assure you I do. I'm part of it. And the military is as politically divided as anywhere else in the country. There's great love for President Trump in the ranks and there's a significant number of service members who think he's a complete dipshit. And there's every position in between.
There is going to be no military takeover
The election of Trump has caused many rifts in family relationships, usually due to the liberal faction deciding to have nothing to do with the family members who supported Trump.
I have a close friend whose brother is gay and following the election, the brother hasn't spoken to my friend since.
Friendships have been strained and in order to preserve them, politics is likely not spoken about again.
But if the end game we suspect comes to fruition, those friendships will be destroyed and fist fights likely to occur.
There are several hard core socialists in my senior softball group who I bite my tongue rather than engage them in political argument but that could very well change and depending on their proclivity to denigrate the president,violence could very well occur..
Then expect the rise in violent protests against conservatives on colleges and the streets and eventually all hell could break out.........
This is very serious crap that is going down right now and I am very concerned............
Bill Kristol is a lying POS, so who cares what he thinks.
This is not war! I know what war looks like. There will be men with guns and many people will be dead. We may be on the brink of a real war, but this is not a war.
Perhaps a real war will be needed to fix all of the damage 8 long and painful years of the Black Obama Plague has done to our country.
It’s a shame, because we have a good man as president and he has been working his heart out to help all of America.
That is from your perspective. I know for a fact lots of Obama high level loyalist officers (one a friend of mine) were removed prior to the 2016 for their politics. I also know what you are talking about. No military takeover is clean and one here will likely lead to a civil war. But if it happens so be it.
Me too, I am very concerned.
That smacks of M having a few honest bones somewhere.
Not too sure about that... :-)

“This is very serious crap that is going down right now and I am very concerned............ “
The seeds of civil war are starting to bloom.
“Kristol on Cohen Raid: ‘This Is War’ – ‘Very Close Now to the End Game’ of Mueller Investigation”
awwwww. it’s SO cute that Bill Kristol is trying to be relevant again ... fortunately, that’s not really possible ...
I’m not sure about that last part. But yes, djt has to start draining the swamp. Starting with the alligators trump himself brought in ( mueller etc). Or else, they’ll destroy him politically
Agree....sure seems like most of our current politicians and their cronies care little about the good of the country. They care about their own agenda and, especially, ‘getting’ this President. Disgraceful. Don’t know how OR IF we’re going to get out of this mess. So sad for our country.
It could be just like the phony stuff Obama used to spy on Trump.
So, under cover of the civil lawsuit filed by Stormy Daniels and the hint of any “illegal” payments that may have been made to her, Mueller et al (Rosenstein had the actual federal DA for NY recuse himself), the DA’s office in the Southern District of NY gets a legal warrant to go on a fishing expedition in the private papers of Trumps private lawyer.
The way federal law on so many high level things is so obscure, so NOT simple, clear and transparent, federal prosecutors can turn any innocuous crumb they find into cause for a mountain of legal hurt on whomever they want to persecute.
“Russia” was going nowhere. They had to find a legal hook to go fishing outside of the 2016 campaign and any collusion with anyone.
I’m not sure about that last part. But yes, djt has to start draining the swamp. Starting with the alligators trump himself brought in ( mueller etc). Or else, they’ll destroy him politically And imho djt needs to do this damned fast now!
Sure is! Gee, I wonder what the great and powerful "Q" has to say!
NOT.
