Cockburn hears that Mueller wants to indict the President but Barr doesn’t – while the two men agree that Trump’s children should be charged.
...Several sources tell Cockburn that the Special Counsel has indeed completed his report. It is said to recommend indicting three of President Trump’s children – Don junior, Ivanka and Eric – as well as his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. The Attorney General, William Barr, is said to have ‘silently assented’ to this. It’s also claimed that Mueller wants President Trump himself to be indicted. Barr is said to oppose this. The two men met on Friday but apparently could not agree and this was the reason for the delay in any announcement from the DoJ. At least this is what the sources say.
...None of Cockburn’s sources was ‘in the room’ – as they say in Washington – for the (alleged) discussions between Mueller and Barr and their two staffs. And none of the sources was briefed by the people ‘in the room’. But they did talk to the people briefed by the people in the room and – twice removed from the original conversations – they all give the same account. It is that the older Trump children and Jared will be indicted for financial crimes while Mueller wants to charge Trump with obstruction of justice. The charges, Cockburn is told now, will not be about ‘Russia collusion’.
This is different from the story yesterday, which was that Mueller would ‘make the case for collusion’. It is different from what the former CIA director, John Brennan, said on Lawrence O’Donnell’s show on MSNBC this week. He thought that the children would be indicted and (like Cockburn) that it would happen on Friday. He also thought that the issue of Russia would be ‘addressed’ by Mueller with further indictments.
...As one veteran of Washington tells Cockburn: ‘There is a strange silence around town. Like the weird calm before a major hurricane.’ Weather reports – like journalists’ predictions – are notoriously unreliable but there’s still reason to think that the coming weeks will be a testing time in the history of the Republic.
Trump is the storm.
I’m sure that if he digs deep enough he can come up with an unpaid parking ticket or two.
I still put odds at 50/50 that Herr Mueller will indict Don Jr. or Erica or Ivanka.
And my prediction that Barr would be a 100% loser has - unfortunately - been accurate.
What next? Charge Trump’s second cousins twice removed?
Molon Labe! Bring on the Civil War.
Looks like BS to me.
In other words, everyone is speculating without knowing WTF is really going on. Like they say, opinions are like a$$holes; everyone has one.
As trustworthy a source as Buzzfeed
“And my prediction that Barr would be a 100% loser has - unfortunately - been accurate.”
Folks the dying last gasp noises of the #RussiaCollusionHoax. Nothing more.
Has to be VERY Fake News - this is Bizzaro World stuff. Too odd even for Mueller.
If they didn’t indict Hillary, they aren’t going to indict the whole Trump family.
That will start it. And it will be time for it.
What in hell would be a basis for indicting Trump’s children?
This is total BS.
Indicted? It was entrapment.
Wasn’t Chelsea Clinton involved in a lot of the Clinton Foundation’s questionable moves? Where is her indictment?
Never heard or read anywhere that the POTUS cannot pardon his kids or friends.
Anything that would require the fantasies of a TDS sufferer coming to life is a hoax, as is this.
More drippings from the anus that is Washington.
Fulfilling their place as the District of Corruption.
