I'm thinking Mueller's sealed indictments are actually his plan A

We all have been talking and assuming that the sealed indictments are his plan B, like as a nuclear option if Trump shuts down the investigation.

As we get closer and closer to that happening, I'm starting to think that is actually Mueller's plan A and that he has been dating him all along to shut down the investigation. There would be no greater evidence of obstruction than him shutting down the investigation.

He keeps pushing him and tempting him and the Don Jr rumor is looking like the last straw. Even the repuves have told him don't shut down the investigation and I bet Mueller knows that's the easiest way to move forward with impeachment proceedings.

Then they are saying all the money laundering and Russia collusion until after he is impeached so there is no question about whether he can be indicted or not as he won't be a sitting President any more.

It is certainly an interesting chess match but I am 100 percent Mueller already had checkmate in his sights.

I certainly don't expect any Senate Republican to all of a sudden come to his senses and act honorably in support of The Constitution and the rule of law.

too damning for even the Republicans in the senate to ignore.

Especially when confronted with scandal, legal issues, and possibly prison here in the US, compared to being cast into cement overshoes or invited to a polonium tea party.

Maybe if there was a chance they'd get the death penalty (like the Rosenbergs) instead of being put up at Club Fed for a few months, only to get out and become a lobbyist.

But then again we do have the CASES...plural in NYC and State brewing so they are fucked REGARDLESS.

I like that rumor I hear every now and again...."he will die in jail". That makes me happy.
