This would not have happened but for his loyalty to Sessions. That was his big mistake to date.

****************

The irony is that a man celebrated for firing people is being relentlessly persecuted because of his failure/reluctance to fire people. He should have started draining the Swamp on day one by getting rid of all the Obama holdovers and removing those who would resist him.

By the way, its no accident that all this is happening shortly before Bruce Ohr is hauled in to testify before congress. Its pretty likely that Mueller and Company are in for some bad publicity.

Is Weisselberg Russian? Seems to be a German name to me.

it was never about Russian Collusion.... it was all about finding ANYTHING.

Looks like a few millon of us are going to have to find our ropes and pay a visit to the Swamp to decorate the trees and lampposts with Swamp critters....

So what was the big news this AM about Trump declassifying all the stuff that DOJ continues to sit on?

****************

His reluctance to declassify the FISA docs has been mystifying. This stuff is the Rosetta Stone that will unravel the entire plot against him. Why delay releasing it?

Granted immunity.... for what? Has he been accused of a crime? I am not aware of any accusations of wrongdoing by this guy. Why the need to offer immunity?

Mueller is shaking down everyone connected to Trump.

Cooperate with the witch hunt, or the witch hunt will use its unlimited resources against you.

"Yeah, when they vote Articles of Impeachment and then we all show up and burn down the Capitol."

A real credible threat of that needs to be made, along with a similar fate for Mueller and his cabal. These plotters need to understand that they will not inherit a government they have overtaken, but will spend their short remaining days among the ruins.

Outside of never finding a speed limit to obey, my life is crystal clear. No skeletons in my closet.

I’d be scared to death of what Mueller would “find” to convict me of.

It’s a witch hunt, but I think it’s a reminder that you have to keep everything on the up and up. Prominent people tend to think that their friends/fellow politicians/business associates won’t toss them under the bus, but they will. When the authorities come knocking, it’s every man for himself. No one wants to go down for something to save someone else. I’m not saying the Trump Organization did anything wrong, but I am saying that if they ever did, someone there will spill it.

When Chuck Schumer said the intelligence agencies had “six ways from Sunday to get back at you” if you “mess with” them, he meant it.

The story:

“been involved in the Trump Foundation, the president’s charity, and has managed Trump’s private trust alongside his eldest sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr.
Weisselberg was subpoenaed by prosecutors earlier this year to testify before a grand jury as part of that probe.”

IOW, this is part of the foundation investigation which has how many Russians working for it?? This is nothing but a witch hunt, the curtain has long been raised and Trump has no choice but to fire this bastard TONIGHT. He did say on more than one occasion his personal business was not going to be involved in this probe, or else. Time now to utter the words: you are fired, effective immediately and if you don’t leave in five minutes with your entire staff, I will have a main bore round put through your window to evict you.

So my Post #16 was correct. This information is months old.

Which brings up the obvious question: Why is the media reporting on it NOW?

We were done being over-awed by American "law" after Rapin Bill Clinton perjured himself in a Federal judge's face and went on to become a multi-millionaire without serving any jail time.

It's gonna to be The Best Bonfire evah...

Mueller is targeting every single person who has ever done business with Trump, finding something on them, and then offering them a deal they can’t refuse.

Now we will have to wait to see if Trump will ride this down to his destruction, or decide to fight and release all the documents that the DOJ very carefully redacts and hides away.

I mean all of them.

Whenever he leaves office, DJT will be indicted and hounded to his last days.

We have to remember that a possible campaign finance violation is MUCH worse than perjuring oneself in the face of a Federal judge...

You probably remember when we had to "censure and Move On" from that little perjury/obstruction of justice incident back in the day, eh, joes?

I think the document dump commences around October 15. Daily releases, for the two weeks before the election, never giving the press time enough to galvanize the party defense.
