Mueller is now deep-diving into the Trump Organization’s financial records (as well as Jared Kushner’s financial dealings). Should there be any impropriety — no matter how innocuous — in the Trump financial records, Mueller will have all that he needs to try to take Trump down.
The continual prospect of Mueller recommending impeachment for President Trump is aligning nicely with the 2018 midterms
Should Mueller find some financial impropriety, or should he determine that Trump obstructed justice with his $130,000 payout to Stormy Daniels, Mueller can recommend impeachment.

Impeachment is a purely political process outside the purview of the courts. The Supreme Court has nothing to say about it.
Rosenstein made sure Mueller could go after process crimes.Mueller can only write a report making recommendations. Those would include high crime or misdemeanors:
“(ii) any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation; and...
(c) If the Special Counsel believes it is necessary and appropriate, the Special Counsel is
authorized to prosecute federal crimes arising from the investigation of these matters.”

They must have found a lot of dirt on Sessions AFTER he was confirmed. It’s obviously something very bad for them to be able to control him like they do.
I would think that a Mueller heart attack or stroke that killed or totally disabled him would throw a kink in the proceedings.
I think it likely that no successor would be appointed.
I think that Stormy Daniels is the path that Mueller and his cabal will take. Maxine Waters said so. Maxine Waters is the same mouth who bragged about 0bama’s ability to collect data and spy on Americans.
Congress has nothing to lose.
What is their approval rating these days—5%?
Total joke.
Evidently, Attorney General Elmer Fudd has recused himself from all matters involving a coup d’etat.
> How in the hell, can Trump be impeached for actions taken BEFORE he was President? <
Impeachment is, at heart, a political and not a legal thing. And the House of Representatives has unchecked power to impeach. It doesn’t matter what Mueller says. Mueller can say that Trump is 100% squeaky clean, and the House can still impeach him for whatever reason it wants.
All the House would need is some flimsy cover. And constitutionally, no one can challenge that.
So I predict that should the Democrats take the House this year, Trump will be impeached. It will be done just to embarrass him. But Trump will not be convicted in the Senate as that takes a 2/3 vote.
‘Mueller and the Deep State knew exactly where to find “crimes” to Impeach with.’
a Pub controlled House will not vote to impeach...
My thoughts also.
Ditto for Justice Roberts who flipped and found obamadeathcare constitutional.
Think the Deep State doesn’t`t go around and wave your NSA file in your face and tell you to play ball or else you’d hear something like ,” Hmm, your credit card, what’s all these charges to ‘ iloveasianladyboys’ doin in there.Be a shame if your family found out what you did in Bangkok last year huh Jeff.”
There are now 47 Republican-held House seats that are rated as vulnerable.Democrats need to win only around half of them (24) to take back the majority.

But am I mistaken? I thought impeachment could only occur for crimes committed while in office?
So Muller is going after Trump finances? Trump doesn’t controls hi business right now. Those that do should not give them what they want. The information about the subpoena was leaked from the Muller team. What is to stop the leak of Trump corporate information including trade secrets and Tax information?
Lets look at the state of justice in America.
Step 1) accuse your opponent or any “undesirable” of an outrageous crime. Evidence or probably cause be damned, just make the accusation. For example, I hear that you trade in chid porn and prostitution.
Step 2) sure, there isn’t any actual evidence “at this time” but the charge is so serious it warrants an investigation.
Step 3) turn it over to the prosecutors. Preferably, appoint one of your worst enemies as said prosecutor. Give him or her unlimited power.
Step 4) months later, you admit it. For example, ok, you don’t have any ties to child porn or have you ever, BUT!!!!!
Step 5) We sure did find a bunch of other stuff. For example, you didn’t get proper permits for your home construction, your taxes are irregular and need to be audited, your kids (under our examination) seem to have been abused cause you cut them off from their video games, etc.
THAT IS THE STATE OF JUSTICE IN OUR COUNTRY AS OF NOW.
I’m thinking Pedophile Island.
‘Democrats need to win only around half of them (24) to take back the majority.’
true...but that’s easier said than done; not saying it can’t happen, and if it does, yes, Trump will be impeached...
but he won’t be convicted by the Senate (in all likelihood)...
I know one thing. If the Democrats take the house you can bet money on it Trump will be impeached. Maybe not convicted but he will be impeached.
> I thought impeachment could only occur for crimes committed while in office? <
I’m no legal expert, but I believe the Constitution is silent on that. And the US Supreme Court has already ruled that no court can interfere here in the process in any way. So it’s all up to the House. They can define anything old thing as an impeachable “crime”.
Article Two, Section Four (no mention of when the crime must have been committed):
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
‘I thought impeachment could only occur for crimes committed while in office?’
a cynic would make the observation that impeachment is whatever the impeachers want it to be...
Word of advice: Stop playing by their rules!
The socialist-democrats are playing for keeps. Their GOPe cuckservatives are falling right in line behind them.
What part of “these people hate you and want to see you DEAD” don’t you seem to understand?
You cannot reason with them. You cannot negotiate with them. You cannot “coexist” or “just get along” with them. That will never happen.
The leftist socialist-democrats have crossed the rubicon. They now want to regain and cement their control over the US.
The election of President Trump is the red state America middle finger to these totalitarian wannabes.
