“Now, does Trump have the guts to prosecute? Yes, I think. But will it go far? Depends on, unfortunately, the Senate and crazy members of the House. Will they support a LEGIT investigation of Zero, and the leaking and the unmasking, or will idiots like McTurd obstruct? My fear is that McTurd and Grahamnesty will join an “impeach” chorus rather than seek real justice.
I beg to differ on this. This is way beyond the House and Senate right now. They do not have prosecutorial powers, and since it now involves people who are no longer in government it’s probably outside their oversight authority for all intents and purposes. It is now a criminal matter.
For the players involved, there may be major civil lawsuits as well. I’m thinking particularly of Mike Flynn, who is now a civilian and has every right to address these matters in civil court.”
Sessions needs his deputy confirmed like yesterday...
My suspicion is that Preet Bharara was fired because the Trump administration intends to have his office (the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York) lead the investigation into this matter. If Trump Tower was the target of the surveillance, then this would be a good fit. It would be a perfect venue because it was Rudy Giuliani’s old turf when he was a U.S. Attorney in the 1980s.
I think what will be most important is how much info they have on senators and how desperate they are to keep it secret.
