FULL TITLE: Donald Trump, Jr. will be indicted by Mueller, former prosecutor says, and will help to ensnare his father
Donald Trump Jr. will be indicted and used by special counsel Robert Mueller to ensnare his father President Donald Trump, a former prosecutor predicted.
During a segment on MSNBC’s AM Joy on Saturday, Paul Butler, a former Department of Justice public corruption prosecutor, and host Joy Reid discussed the latest developments in Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and possible collusion between Trump’s campaign team and Moscow officials.
“Does Mueller have to indict Trump in order to put the proper coda at the end of the long symphony?” Reid asked the ex-prosecutor.
“Mueller is not going to indict Trump, because he’s going to follow the DOJ employee handbook, but he has leverage over the president in terms of Donald Trump, Jr.,” Butler explained. “We’ve seen Mueller use people’s kids to get to folks in the past. He could do this with Donald Trump, Jr.”
He continued: “Trump, Jr. went into the Senate Intelligence Committee, took an oath to tell the truth, and lied his butt off.”
“You think he will get indicted?” Reid asked.
“If Roger Stone and Michael Cohen get indicted for lying to the Intelligence Committee and Donald, Jr. lied, then he gets indicted too,” Butler responded.

Praying that Mule Face doesn’t drop a timely bomb, say on Monday or Tuesday, to ruin the SOTU.
It seems like something always happens to diminish the luster and glory of President Trump’s accomplishments or moments in the spotlight.
I believe the Mueller investigation will come to a close soon with nothing damaging to the president. They’ve been leaking stories exonerating Trump on small matters in an apparent attempt to soften the landing of their nothing burger.
And like Robespierre he will end up getting his own head cut off. We have arrived at that moment!
Projection is it not with them?
#35. Thanks for reminding us of previous history when the Left went berserk and France has been paying for it ever since.
We definitely need more “History 101 - The Rise of Fascism and Communism”.
It’s not going to happen. Trump won’t allow it to happen. He’s too smart to let anyone successfully threaten his family like that. This former prosecutor is full of sh#t.
Sure... Just claim anything you want to try and drum up ratings. It’s really become trite at this point.
If the Deep State thugs go after Donald Jr., then the military and the Constitutional Militias will have to make some hard choices. In reality, we have FOUR branches of government. But one (the one with guns) stays out of things until LIBERTY ITSELF is in peril.
I know the troops are devoted to Trump, as are the militias. When the time comes, they will activate to protect the Trump family and put an end to all of the sedition we see now on display. They know as well as anyone how BOGUS the 2018 election was. If the Deep State arrests Donald Jr., expect to see tanks in Washington with PATRIOTS at the controls!
Jr’s arrest should be good for at least 3 or 4 Tweets from Trump.
If so then this will make the setting for blanket pardons that covers everyone.
Too bad all these people didn’t have better lawyers.
“””a former prosecutor predicted.”””
Anyone want my prediction...../r
This should've been a simple yes or no answer yet that simple answer wasn't given.
“If Roger Stone and Michael Cohen get indicted for lying to the Intelligence Committee and Donald, Jr. lied, then he gets indicted too,” Butler responded.
Sounds like prevarication to me. Telling someone what they want to hear isn't the same thing as telling them the unvarnished truth.
I pray you’re right.
Falsely named,
The more apt name would be:
FAKE NEWS WEEK, the seventh day was eliminated due to lack of qualified journalists.
It would be a tipping point for Mueller for sure. Even the lowest info voter could not miss that this is targeting family members for persecution and has nothing to do with any legitimate investigation.
Time for Trump to call his friends in “Low Places.”
Fake hit on the Trump family will bring on all out war.
People will start disappearing.
The Deep State is desperate. Mueller will do anything, and he has the radical left, the liberal fascists to back him up.
What a fiasco! Nueller is heading a RICO violation attempted coup against a duly elected president of the United States.Time for Mueller to go!
If the deep state is stupid enough to do this, people will start being hung from lamp posts. If the Left wants to burn the country down, they might be obliged.
Bullflop news. But if true…time to cross the Rubicon.
In the version of English I learned as a child, "could" does not equal "will".
