Twenty (20) hours without a tweet. What up?

I'm guessing the Horse Whisperer is right and implication of the fact that Mueller has all of his team's transition e-mail (which was just announced some 20 hours ago!) has silenced Trump. He knows they have him nailed, so as a last ditch effort his lawyers are claiming the Special Counsel didn't obtain the e-mail legally, but that has already collapsed.

Is something going to happen very soon????


Here's the story of the e-mail at Axios:

Here's the great post based on tweets by the Horse Whisper:

Jackie Spier might be right about an attempt to fire Mueller before the week is out. If attempted, it will mark an unprecedented upheaval and Constitutional crisis that brings all of us to the brink of governmental collapse and the advent of totalitarian rule. Trumpy IS a madman and will do ANYTHING to stay in control. Anything. He does have the power to declare a state of emergency and suspend the Constitution, and he will be reckless in his assertions that a suspension is necessary. But he likely will make that assertion anyway.

Trumpy's legal team will be meeting with Mueller this week. I suspect that Mueller is making this meeting a courtesy to the levers of government that Mueller is indicting multiple members of Trumpy's transition team and his White House staff. Mueller has known about Trumpy's BIG PLAY for some time, and this meeting is pre-emptive of the big firing. Once Mueller makes his announcements to Trumpy's legal team, it's all over for the "Marmalade Shartcannon." Any attempt thereafter to fire Mueller will be weakly conceived and will fail, and will be further evidence of Obstruction of Justice to boot.

10. I'm 75 years old and I've NEVER heard of someone being able to suspend the constitution.

Where does your information come from that someone can do that?

7. Two guesses. He's finally listening to legal advice or they used a taser on him and hid his phone

and then distracted him with a platter of his favorite fast foods. All of them.

9. He's been tweeting a lot less lately

Ever since he tweeted his confession to obstruction. His lawyers must have scared the hell out of him.

... but I get the distinct impression he's behaving exactly as you do when you blow through a speed trap at 10 mph over the limit. You proceed along, innocently minding your own business, thinking: "See, officer? I'm being good."

He's doing the same. "See, Mueller? I'm just being Presidential over here, nothing to bust me for."

....some kind of tranquilizer on his Big Macs? He could not have finally learned to stop tweeting for his own legal good, it is just not in him. That’s all I can come up with.

The word "Jew" is everything they hate and blame their ills on.
