Upon further inspection his assistant with the red tag is way hooky with the hands, like he’s thinking “...enough, when do I waste this fool!”

Inspector General? A second Special Prosecutor?

Forget that noise. It will take years. Everything bad about Republicans will be leaked. Everything bad about Democrats will be concealed.

Indictments?

If any, the trials will be in Washington D.C., and no Democrat will be convicted.

Trump can end this political crisis tomorrow...

(1) Issue blanket pardons for anyone - Republican or Democrat - who has been or will be touched by these investigations.

(2) Declassify and publicly release EVERY document in the Executive Branch that even touches on this scandal.

Let American voters decide who is corrupt, and who can be trusted.

Some of us have been calling for this for a long time. Nice of the GOP to catch up.

Can one special counsel cover so much? Sounds like need for several.

Example of IG Investigation is Lois Lerner.

That’s why the Dems Love the IG route.

If you stand back and review the landscape....you have a growing number of House GOP members who figured out the scheme by the Never-Trump GOP crowd, and the Democrats, and grasp that Sessions is way outside of his league. So the second Special Counsel makes perfect sense, and House itself has the power to appoint such an individual (as does Sessions or his stand-in).

The second Counsel would then be able to drag a number of Obama appointees into the light, and it would have a major negative effect on November elections. As much negativity that Mueller might be able to hand out....that second Counsel would achieve the same results, except gut the entire legacy of the Obama Administration. For 2020, Trump could waltz through the campaign and easily win. He might even have sixty-plus Senators attached.

If I were Mueller, I’d start to ask just how bad do you want this to harm the Democratic Party.

They’re using the media, in spite of the media. See what happens when you have a narrative of your own?

I like those ideas!

And just to rub salt in the wound, Trump could say he got the idea for declassifying from the finale of Madam Secretary:

(Recap excerpt) ... she realized that declassifying the documents about the near-miss — thereby alerting the American public to how close the entire country had come to annihilation — was the only way to achieve de-escalation. “Let’s scare the crap out of America,” she said… and it worked.

Madame Secretary stole my idea!

Actually, the first time I wrote that down was here at Free Republic, almost exactly one year ago. Even though it’s in the public domain, I still hold the copyright if I was first to publish (or broadcast).

I don’t watch Madame Secretary. When was the finale?

If they send me a check, I’ll split it with you and Jim Robinson!

Actually, the season finale I should have said, and it was on Sunday night.

When they used the declassify gambit, I right away thought that’s what Trump should do also.

I mainly started watching it because I like Tea Leoni - but it turns out to be a fairly decent show, which seems to have some appeal to both sides of the political spectrum, at least more so than most others and more so than I would have guessed based on the inference of the title.

Donald J. Trump ‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 5m5 minutes ago Look how things have turned around on the Criminal Deep State. They go after Phony Collusion with Russia, a made up Scam, and end up getting caught in a major SPY scandal the likes of which this country may never have seen before! What goes around, comes around!

People must go to prison over this. Anyone found treasonous must receive death. Extremely harsh sentences must be handed down.
Those responsible are simply going over the notes and actions to make sure those same mistakes do not happen again. They are simply planning the next coup de’ tat. Now we know why very very harsh sentences must be handed out.

You mean let the stupid illiterate voter decide. You are assuming the lying media will not lie about the declassifications. The sheeple will listen to the lying media narrative every time. Hence the reason the idea was pushed by media in the MS series starring the gorgeous Tia Leoni.

O.K. next logical step is to execute on their demands. We have enough pols who demand stuff and never follow through.

Better get some action fast as they will all be leaving soon for their re-election recess, and on the off chance the RATS can retake the House, Articles of Impeachment (which I assume are already sitting in a drawer in Grandma Nan's desk) will be introduced around the 5th of Jan 2019.

There is a real sense of urgency here that I believe folk are forgetting.
