October 28, 2017 at 9:49 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Roll Call suggests the most likely indictments from special counsel Robert Muellers investigation coming as soon as Monday are Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn and Carter Page.
The long shots are Donald Trump Jr. and Jared Kushner.
If Mueller is targeting the commander in chief, going after his son or son-in-law this early would be a way of getting Trumps attention.

(47,115 posts)So I think it will be him.
Oh if Kushner is the one, how sublime.

(11,257 posts)My top choices are Kushner and Trump Jr., but I agree they are long shots right now because they didn't pop up on Mueller's radar screen until later.
Other than actual members of his family, Flynn would be the one to rattle Trump the most. He spent a ton of time with Flynn on the campaign. He's defended Flynn on countless occasions, including very recently of my memory is right. I'm not sure about his relationship with Manafort or Page.
That said, Manafort would be awesome by virtue of the fact that he probably has the most information to offer if he flips.

(11,257 posts)And if anyone claims to have that kind of info, I'd be skeptical.

(47,115 posts)I think that is the only fact we have?

(10,014 posts)(formerly the Stop Hillary PAC) says it will be Tony Podesta. She sounds a little like Kelly Ann Conway, with even more FOX news make up.

(53,784 posts)renewed push by the trump admin on the previously debunked Uranium 1 story, as well as the ridiculous claims on the Steele dossier, to make it seem Hillary colluded with the Russians.
Silly attempt, like that is going to stop Mueller from doing what he's been doing for 5 months.

It's an open and shut case. He will resign by Thanksgiving.

(10,829 posts)whack-jobs are predicting it will be Hillary Clinton. I mean why not? After spewing complete horseshit this past week about the Uranium One deal, suggesting HRC colluded with the Russians, no other than Sebastian Gorka compared Hillary's alleged involvement equal to the Rosenberg case during the 1950's.
"And they got the Chair," Gorka breathlessly informed viewers. "She should be executed."
Talk about projection!
I think the Trinity of Treasonweasals isn't a bad guess. Manafort, Flynn and/or Page (who incidentally had a 5-hour chat with Mueller's team Friday afternoon).
Any or all. The important thing? It has begun.
