The Overall Scandal Invoving the White House Will Not Just Break

[MineralMan]

It will explode! The old boiler that is DC politics has been neglected for years. Pressure is creeping up in it, and the safely relief valve rusted closed decades ago, during the Nixon administration.

Meanwhile, the Trump Administration is shoveling coal as fast as it can into the firebox. Something has to give.

When all of this finally reaches the limit of that boiler, as it almost certainly will, it is going to fail catastrophically. The sound of the explosion will be heard around the world, I think.

1. Now im thinking Woody Harrelson playing Mueller...

[MLAA]

2. I see him playing IMPotus (plenty of orange makeup required)

[MineralMan]

3. Yeah, he sort of has the jaw for it.

Somewhere, there is a team of people working up this story, slowly but surely. One day, it's going to be dropped on the public. When that happens, it's going to make every other DC scandal look like a minor discretion, I'm pretty sure.

There's just too much going on for that not to be true.

16. I would cast Michael Shannon as Mueller.

He played a strong Revenooer in Boardwalk Empire.

4. and Pence will wet his pants.

[MineralMan]

5. Pence has an industrial strength Depend on at all times.

We'll never know, maybe.

6. This Whole Memo Thing is an Act of Desperation because they KNOW the are all totally busted

by Mueller. So they have to discredit the investigation, because the evidence is definitive and overwhelming.

I firmly believe most of the key players have been under FISA surveillance since PRIOR to the election and ongoing. Everything we hear about, interviews, documents, emails etc. is merely corroborating evidence to the surveillance tapes of the actual crimes themselves. They got the tapes, the crimes are incontrovertible.

Trumpco., Nunes etc. they all know this, that's why Nunes freaked out about the whole "unmasking" thing, that's when he realized HE was on surveillance tape. And now this memo about FISA is ALL about delegitimizing FISA. It's all they got because the are ALL busted and it's on tape.

[MineralMan]

8. I'm sure you're correct. The panic we're seeing right now,

and the desperation moves they're making, like this memo, are evidence of just how much trouble they're in.

We even have Russia's top intelligence person in the US, doing whatever the hell he's doing here.

I hope they don't cook up some huge international crisis or military fiasco to distract from all this. Sadly, though, I fear that is a possibility. North Korea is in play, I think.

I'm worried at how far Trump and the rest will go to keep this from becoming public.

11. All We Can Do is Hope the Counter Intel Operation that certainly must be ongoing

is well compartmentalized and on the ball.

[MineralMan]

12. Yes. I hope so.

[CanonRay]

13. The memo seems to be working with his base

whether it is ever released doesn't matter to them, may even be better if it is not released. If it is released, we'll have endless back and forth arguments about if it is true, and they will all believe it is because Fox tells them so. if it is not released, they can imagine grand conspiracies in their fevered little brains, even better!

As long as the base doesn't crack, Trump can get the fearful House GOP weenies to tow the line.

7. But what were the Russians doing here?

They are up to something. They know the trouble they and are planning something. This could get worse before it gets better. Plus, so far, I haven't heard how we're going to get past trump's firewall: McConnell and Ryan.

[MineralMan]

9. Yes. That news was very troubling to me.

I can't think of any reason for it, other than some massive planned distraction. Very troubling.

[tblue37]

14. They took dirty Russian mob money, too, so maybe they'll go down. nt

[MFM008]

10. You are 200 % correct

There will be so much breaking news my TV will burn out ....
when all the crap hits the fan the splatter will hit Pluto.

15. k&r

[peggysue2]

17. But that would be . . .

Clean, beautiful coal, MM. So, the explosion will be equally beautiful in our eyes. And yes, heard 'round the world! With cheers of exhilaration .

[Alwaysna]

18. I think it's time for new indictments .

I hope they have one for Nunes so we can see his reaction! Followed with others all at the same time. "Here's one for you and one for you " etc. I can't wait for this stuff to wipe the grin off of Ryan/McConnell 's faces!
