The guy in the cell is experiencing "reality". However, the "truth" may be that he is innocent.

The "reality" is that Jeff Sessions is the AG.

The "truth" of what he is up to remains elusive.

If Mueller keeps digging long enough, sooner or later he will find that Trump sold candy to school kids at and inflated price when he was back in 3rd grade.

And they'd have as much luck overthrowing Trump for something like that as you would juggling flaming chainsaws while roller skating...

Not happening.☺

Hitler was very upset, too, when the coal miners of the Ruhr Valley had an uprising against the massive looting that French coal miners were brazenly carrying out. They went on strike and refused to cooperate in any respect. So Hitler was PO’d. He called the strikers war-mongers, I think. He was mad, because they were asserting German sovereignty and nationalism on their own, and he couldn’t claim credit for it and use it to implement his evil agenda.

So, too, the Dems don’t want workers going back to work, unless it’s entirely a liberal Democrat baby. Otherwise, they want an abortion. They want misery and pain during Trump’s tenure, until they are back in control.

I support Sessions because he is all we have right now.

Just because he's all we have right now doesn't mean you have to support him. He's a joke.

Why shouldn't I support Sessions? Because you don't?

I support him because he's all we got in the office right now.

You don't support him because you think he's a joke.

Either way, Sessions is still the AG.

See how that works?

It is a trap, he is not a target currently, currently being the key word here. Trump should tell Saint Mulehead no thank you to an interview.

It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.

Mueller is a snake and he’ll bite with his dying breath. Like any snake don’t even trust him sans his head.

I don't know where you get that.

This is how I see Mueller, McCabe and Comey et al, after their conspiracy to get Trump backfired in their faces

Yes, Trump sold “loosies” at the age of 8. Other men have died for the privilege.He should/could get off easier.

The left and Mueller are conspiraing to create a perjury trap fpr PDJT.

Let them eat cake. They will do anything they can to begin impeachmnt of the President.

Q: Did you have sex with Stormy Daniels , Mr. President?

No reason for our president to go there. PDJT needs to avoid even passing gas in the direction of the liberal fascist team of Mueller et. al. They want to stick their collective nose up the Presidents arse?

Don’t do it PDJT, there will plenty of chance to fart in their faces later.

Good background. I didn’t realize he had admitted to doing that.

-- Good background. I didn't realize he had admitted to doing that. --

The whole setup or entrapment by the FBI of Trump, Priebus, and others is like the games middle schoolers play. Playing with literal truths, hypertechnicalities, and then leaking false conclusions and accusations to spread as rumors.

Reading Comey's various testimonies gives a very clear perception that he is a weasel.

I think the material presented to Trump in that Jan 6 meeting was intended to get a rise out of him - not presented with a preface of "here is some BS," rather presented with a straight face, then AFTER the reaction, saying, yeah, but we think it is BS. Also, Comey says the intelligence community KNEW the Steele dossier was going to hit the news. This is why, so goes the BS cover story, it was shown to Trump at all. That excuse has a couple problems. The FBI doesn't share all the BS stories that spin up in HuffPo, Enquirer, etc, so this was not just some BS story. In hindsight we know it wasn't just BS because the FBI told the FISA court this BS story was reliable intelligence.

Not enough people in this thread paid attention to your excellent post outlining the specific, DOJ, definitions of “subject” and “target.”

From what I understand, Muller is a very buttoned-down, very ‘rule-following’ type of guy, and he very much believes that he needs to follow DOJ procedure. From what I’ve heard, this means he also is operating under the DOJ opinion that a sitting President cannot be indicted, which would mean that the President CANNOT, at any point, be a ‘target’ of the investigation, but will forever remain a ‘subject.’

Baloney! Trump is and always has been the target. Mueller only says that to get Trump to testify under oath, in a deposition or before a grand jury, with the sole purpose of getting him to get a fact or two wrong and charge him with perjury — just like Gen. Flynn. In Flynn’s case, even Strok who interviewed him did not think he perjured himself, but apparently Mueller or McCabe or someone disagreed, and knew if he charged him with it he could bleed him dry financially until he had to cop a plea deal.

Not could be a trap — It is a definitely a trap.
