My opinion.....he is scared of Putin putting poison on his doorknobs and willing to be jailed...he is begging to be picked up...he will then ask for protection for himself and family and tell them everything and I mean every detail...

2. I LOVE Ted Lieu, I couldn't ask for a better Rep.

3. I believe that Mr. Trump hasn't figured out his opposition.

1...Mr. Mueller is smarter than Trump and Trump's whole team..
2...Mr. Mueller is more experienced and skillfull at "getting his man" than Trump is skillful at lying.
3...Mr. Mueller's team is also very experienced in all areas of Mr. Trump's and Mr. Trump's Team's (that includes them all) lawlessness.
4...Getting one to testify against another...is what Mueller is after. .. Mr. Manafort gets a lighter sentence if he talks about what he knows about Mr. Trump.. Now, Mr. Manafort was the campaign chairman of Trump's campaign..Mr. Manafort might know a whole lot about what Mr. Trump was doing illegally
5.. Mr. Trump has gotten away with a whole lot in his life, and that is the truth. But being up against Mueller's team in the current situation is new to Trump. Trump hasn't got a clue..
6. Mr. Mueller is focused on getting all of the crooks here. One way or another. If Trump is a crook, then Mueller is focused on getting him too. ...one way or another.

..And Mueller will get him.....

4. Unless he dies (accident, illness, etc) beforehand, 2020 is going to be the most important POTUS

election since 1860.

I see almost no routes to 67 votes to convict and remove (and that is even assuming we take back the House and then actually impeach).

6. Trump will do like he always does, take his ball and go home

He'll claim that he got what he wanted done, and now he can go.

5. White Ford Bronco

I half expect Mueller to give a press conference saying the police don't know where Manafort is. Followed by a slow car chase on an interstate.

7. I am aware that some of the young folks here do not know the reference.."White Ford Bronco"

I haven't got the energy to go thru that one...perhaps you do..

13. One just needs to Google Al Cowlings...

All will become clear.

8. I'm going with option C. Paulie Walnuts will vanish.

10. Manafort Is Going To Screw Around And Get Charged With TREASON

I think once he actually gets charged with treason, he'll flip like a gymnast. And even Trump himself has said that if Manafort flips, he (Trump) is toast.

11. Manafort tried to witness tamper while on bail? He had to know he was being watched.

He must be really desperate, to risk being caught. Or really arrogant and think he's smarter than everyone else. Or both.

[Honeycombe8]

12. I don't see how Trump's tweet threw Manafort under the bus.

He asked why he wasn't told that Manafort was being investigated. I don't think that was throwing him under the bus; he's claimed all along that he hasn't done anything wrong. The tweet, I thought, was another criticism of the investigators, and Trump trying to act like he's not involved in any of this. He's a bystander, and of course the boss of it all, if in name only.

If it is throwing Manafort under the bus, well, the cohorts should all know by now that Trump's concern is only for himself. They should've known that, anyway. It's apparent.

The problem with a crime group is that none of them are loyal to each other. They don't have character or ethics. They're criminals, after all. And possibly traitors.

14. The UK poisoning incident was a message to Manafort.

He got it. He knows if he flips it will just be a matter of time before Putin pulls his plug.

[dawg day]

15. Prison might be a place where he's safe

Putin got to some long-retired spy in a small UK city.
He sent a message to Manafort then-- "I can reach you anywhere."
