NEW YORK (Reuters) - Grand jury subpoenas have been issued in connection with the June 2016 meeting between Donald Trump Jr., a Russian lawyer and others, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Thursday.

The sources also said special counsel Robert Mueller had convened a grand jury in Washington to investigate allegations of Russia’s interference in the 2016 elections.

Are people still saying nothing will happen? Genuine question here by the way.

Nothing will happen,








To this thread.


Edit:

Wait was confused thought this was a repost as read it in other thread.

There's a lot going on.

This should be fun. "You lie to us, you hurt our feelings. You lie to them, it's perjury."

this stuff is going to start happening very quickly.

You know there are. His core base will defend him no matter what, but the general public won't be so kind.

 

[Figboy79]

Interesting. I'm too jaded and cynical to think anything will come of this (shrugs; I'm a black dude living in America. My perspective on justice is all fucked up), but I still can't help but hope this is the beginning of the house of cards coming down.

Things will happen, will the outcome be impeachment or at least resignation is the big question.

After surviving so much it's not hard to understand people's pessimism with Trump getting any just desserts.

I'm a lot more hopeful now than I was a few moths ago, but nothing is written in stone.

History suggests he'd resign if he thinks he'll be voted out of office.

His ego wont allow that

lol Trump thinks he's done absolutely nothing wrong apparently. Plus with an ego his size, he goes down with the ship for sure.

 

[Lonewulfeus]

His ego wont allow that

But he's also a coward, bigly. If his lawyers convince him it's a way to stay out of jail I could see him resigning.

Ive been saying this since January.

*Snorts line of coke*


AARRGGGHHHHHHHH

rememeber his base is insane.

He will pardon himself before resigning...

50% of The_Donald right now:

That would be up to the supreme court if he can pardon himself. Ironically, he may need to resign if he wants to be pardoned since a Democrat would almost certainly succeed him.

The source tells Pam Brown the subpoena seeks both documents and testimony from people involved in the meeting.

The first thing I saw in the Reddit thread about this was federal grand juries indict in 99.99% of cases.

The .01% might include the President of the United States.

When Donald decided to run for president he destroyed his life and his family. May they all rot in jail.

HERE WE EGO

 

[Bixlow]

This is a pretty big development and looks like the investigation is actually getting serious with Mueller running the show. Hopefully we get something concrete from this. Although I'm still going to remain skeptical about the Russia allegations till the investigation is complete. Ever since the election, I'm not jumping to conclusions just cause media is pushing certain angles.

 

[chekhonte]

I wonder how man additional subpoenas will get issued from what they find in the first batch and so on.

The tweets we will have this weekend.

I think the Biggest Question of All is this:
Are there ~19 Republican Senators who are willing to vote to remove him from office?

Spoiler

(My own take? I really don't know. I don't trust them as far as I can throw them.)

I wish but no POTUS is gonna go to jail. Best we can hope for is a resignation and then he fucks off to his shitty golf resorts for the rest of his life.

History was a lot smarter than the present.

Naw bring it all down. Even if, IF Trump walks I want the pound of flesh to be the entire Trump org. Make the dude a pauper

It would likely stop another Trump from running for office, so that's another plus.

Pence sure has been quiet the past few weeks.

FTFY

 

[jellies_two]

He tweeted today some bland stuff about adding jobs.

On a day when we heard about some temporary jobs for a large jury it was kind of unintentionally funny.

I'd resign if his lawyers try to frame it as a "win"

As long as his mind sees resigning as a "win" then he'll do it

 

[gamz]

I read on Twitter that with this Mueller can't be fired. True?

 

[jellies_two]

just cause media is pushing certain angles.

What "angles" are the media "pushing"?

 

[Lightning_Roller]

Things are firing up....

 

[rjinaz]

Trump could so easily walk away from the presidency. Just talk about the witch hunt, how congress had it out for him and there needs to be a revolution, and all of his base wouldn't even raise an eyebrow. Bonus, talk about how he has to resign because he has to think about his family and how the evil fbi is trying to destroy them all.

Im not sure on parliamentary rules but doesn't the speaker have to allow a vote on it first? Meaning Paul ryan

Cannot wait for the emergency political podcasts to drop around 5pm pacific.

I don't see how that would be true. But that doesn't seem to matter since congress is trying to stop the firing with legislature anyway.

 

[Lubricus]

Astrologers are saying since Trump was born during a lunar eclipse, the upcoming solar eclipse on August 21 in the USA will have serious consequences for him.
I guess we can look for something happening on the 21st.
