Holy Shit... Anyone have any ideas who's gonna be indicted on Monday?

[busterbrown]

This is fucking nuts.. We have to wait until monday?
I know..... but still

1. I

I think theyll charge a couple people. Pit them against eachother. Set one deal on thr table for one person. First one to talk without lying gets to not die in prison.

[Demtexan]

2. Going after the smaller fish first.

Flip um.

[democratisphere]

3. Nope. Not a clue.

[Kablooie]

4. Whoever it is will hear from Trump about a guaranteed pardon soon.

Trump has to either pardon or promise a pardon to prevent testimonies.

Everyone will be outraged except for Republican politicians who will take up the Fox defense of Trump, whatever that is. They aren't going to rock the boat before they get a massive tax break for the rich and privileged.

How long before the pardons start I wonder?

5. If this works like I've usually seen these play out by the Fes

They have the whole criminal enterprise mapped out by now, who did and does what and who is connected to who.

They know who all the players are.

They have the people they can pin things on now, and then the ones they really want.

So they looked at who they have enough on now to arrest and looked to see who might know what they need to get enough to arrest the real targets, and who they think will have the least loyalty and will roll over on the rest to save their own skin- and they chose that person or those people.

Be prepared to possibly be underwhelmed that it is some very low level person you never heard of. But know that's probably by design. And be prepared to be perplexed by the charge being seemingly unrelated to what you think the investigation is about- like a 5 year old tax evasion charge. It doesn't matter what you get that first weak link on, so you often pick the weak link then go looking for a reason to arrest. And if you look hard enough you can find a reason on almost anybody....

12. Add that there will probably be STATE charges that can be filed as well

Probably in NY...the idea being that the federal charges might get a presidential pardon, but the state threat isn't as easily dismissed.

Witness-flipping is an art that I suspect Mueller is well acquainted with...

[GoCubsGo]

6. No idea, but Malcolm Nance thinks it's possible it could be Devin Nunez.

I can't tell you how much I would love that, although I will probably enjoy it regardless of which individual or individuals get hauled off.

We won't necessarily have to wait until Monday. They can arrest people on the weekend, too. I hope they do, whoever it is.

[Squinch]

9. OMG, that would make my year! I can't stand that guy. He's such a willing toady of people he knows

are evil. He's like the cartoon sidekick of the villain.

[Spider Jerusalem]

7. Manafort or Flynn probably (n/t)

[Achilleaze]

8. Posthumous indictment of JFK?

Trussian wet dream...

[Not Ruth]

10. Might be Trump

[ClarendonDem]

13. I'm not sure Trump will ever get indicted

Would love to see it though. I'm thinking Manafort, but Kushner would be awesome.

[Not Ruth]

14. The Kushner perjury charge seems like an easy win, but I doubt that Mueller would bother

Not worth the effort that he has spent with his team. Mueller could have gotten that by himself. He is going for the big kahuna.

[flotsam]

15. The security clearance forms

This is a slam dunk and every omission is a felony. We know for certain this nails Flynn, Kushner, AND IVANKA. If you were hearing rumors your investigation was about to be curtailed how sweet would it be to nail a traitor the crown prince and daddy's little princess???

[Not Ruth]

16. As I said, Mueller did not need the team that he assembled for that

Mueller is focused on bigger game

[SummerSnow]

11. Flynn ,Manafort , maybe both
