Support NeoGAF

[KraftyKrankins]

This cast is bigger than Infinity War's at this point. Lord.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Un-pardonable NY state charges lets goooooo.

Mueller knows that's the only way to make charges stick with a Republican Congress. So, yup.

 

[Az]

Would you really need that many attorneys if you weren't finding anything?
I am guessing they also have support staff.

 

[Slaythe]

So Kyle Chandler in the movie.

 

[chekhonte]

When can we expect Mueller and co-act to start acting. I've still got faith in this Justice League of theirs, but I'm getting restless with all the Trumpian-hijinks going on.

Nobody knows but I've heard a lot of people say late next year at the earliest. They won't act until the investigation is complete even if they find something on day one.

Edit: when the investigation is over what happens? Will Mueller's report be public?

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

I don't expect public facing action for a while (a year at least), as I'm sure they're going as far as they can and making sure they dot their "i"s and cross their "t"s to make sure it's a solid case.

When this does go down... whooo-boy. It's going to be amazing and totally worth the wait.

I fucking hate everything Trump is and represents...

But I would be lying to you if he wasn't going to be the greatest law case of all time. Tremendous case.

 

[Karsticles]

This song plays for me every time news like this pops up:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ykAXB3JFy4

I don't know who these guys are, but I would pay yo fly them to Trump's eventual court hearing just to sing the song outside the courthouse.

 

[Clefargle]

Get em' boys

 

[Imperfected]

I'm expecting a tweet or interview snippet from Trump before the end of the week where he says, "I don't want to fire anyone, but Crooked Mueller had better know that investigating connections to Russian crime is crossing the line, particularly with regards to my failed development projects in Baja and Florida! #WitchHunt"

 

[Mr. Giggles]

No epic picture?

This.

 

[polyh3dron]

I'm gonna need Muller and his team drawn or modeled in the Persona 5 look now.

seriously though, they need to hurry up with the calling card already

 

[Slaythe]

This.

This will be the epic picture, all others are bad video screenies.

Mueller has to be recruiting them with the movie in mind at this point. This will be Matt Damon's role.

 

[Linkura]

Prez can pardon federal crimes, governors pardon star level ones.

lol Cuomo ain't pardoning shit.

 

[BlackLagoon]

I would be surprised if this was done by the end of 2018 tbh, it doesn't help that stuff keeps coming out day after day.

Hah... The independent counsel investigation into Bill and Hillary (originally for the Whitewater real estate issue) was started in 1994, and wasn't finalized and disbanded until 2004. Considering all the shady people Trump's associated with over the years, I expect they'll be digging through his past until well into the 2020s.

 

[Suikoguy]

Prez can pardon federal crimes, governors pardon star level ones.

Star level ones?
Is that part of the Nixon speedrun?

 

[Lesath]

Would you really need that many attorneys if you weren't finding anything?
I am guessing they also have support staff.

I think that either way, they need to convince the American people that the investigation has been overwhelmingly thorough and complete, since in both scenarios you'd have roughly half the country disbelieving you.

 

[Slermy]

Make Lawyers Great Again

 

[JonnyDBrit]

This cast is bigger than Infinity War's at this point. Lord.

Mueller is Thanos confirmed - everybody waiting for him to do something.

 

[Ithil]

I assume this has to do with their expansion into the Trump business.

 

[Flux]

This will be the epic picture, all others are bad video screenies.

Mueller has to be recruiting them with the movie in mind at this point. This will be Matt Damon's role.

Or a young Val Kilmer. But that's beside the point, the legal team is comprised of the best of the best. Hoping its an airtight case they put together.

 

[demosthenes]

When can we expect Mueller and co-act to start acting. I've still got faith in this Justice League of theirs, but I'm getting restless with all the Trumpian-hijinks going on.

Watergate took like 2 years.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

That has to be a joke, I need to show this to friends/family when they ask me when this is going to be over and when we can move on.

 

[super-heated plasma]

When all is said and done, The televised trial of Donald j Trump will make OJs murder trial look like traffic court.

 

[Fancyarcher]

Now things get really epic.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

This cast is bigger than Infinity War's at this point. Lord.

Somebody needs to put their heads on the Avengers as they fight Trump-Thanos.

 

[Random Human]

Every time these threads pop up I think of this scene.

https://youtu.be/MiiVIC4VQGI?t=71

 

[Epsilon-delta]

Mueller is building an airtight case; one for the history books.

 

[Wag]

Not epic, but he looks handsome I guess!

 

[kevin1025]

So the dude that plays Seth in House of Cards is totally going to play him. Derek Cecil.

 

[Mahonay]

God I love how robust and specialized Mueller's team is. Couldn't have asked for better really. Bury these fuckers.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

I like this.

Crashing his dad's Ferrari was worth it afterall.

 

[Greigor The Fellhand]

Greg Anders played by Val Kilmer\

 

[Nikodemos]

Mueller is building an airtight case; one for the history books.

And then Donny throws them the ultimate "fuck you" and has a heart attack before the actual trial begins.

Spoiler

I'd be OK with this.

 

[mclem]

It's not epic, but here is what I imagine Andres' reaction is to anything Trump says:

Joel?

 

[Beer Monkey]

American Spirit week is off the fucking hook. \m/ \m/

 

[Howard Ballou]

So Kyle Chandler in the movie.

I'm going to be so disappointed if this man doesn't sound like Coach Taylor. You could get Buddy Garrity to play Steve Bannon. "Aw hell Buddy, collusion?? Really?"

 

[Shauni]

I wonder, when Mueller is inevitably removed, can a State government hire him on some level since it seems like this is extended to State-level crimes? It means the Russia collusion/obstruction stuff won't be on the table, but if he's actually looked at State charges, could the state of NY or something hire him as a special prosecutor to the Trump enterprise?

 

[watershed]

In my completely un-legalistic mind, this means they're looking at Trump's money.

 

[Maximo]

Before that, Andres was a federal prosecutor in Brooklyn for over a decade, eventually serving as chief of the criminal division in the U.S. attorney's office there. He prosecuted several members of the Bonanno organized crime family, one of whom was accused of plotting to have Andres killed.

Dudes a badass,

 

[Chemo]

So Kyle Chandler in the movie.

Thomas Jane. Kyle Chandler for Comey.

 

[Random Human]

In my completely un-legalistic mind, this means they're looking at Trump's money.

They're definitely looking at his money.

Who the hell is the US Senate going to confirm at this point that will fire him?

Trump's world is shrinking by the day.

I think Schiff said they would reestablish contact with Mueller immediately if Trump were to fire him, and basically continue the investigation regardless.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

In my completely un-legalistic mind, this means they're looking at Trump's money.

Of course.

I don't think one can do a lot of real estate deals in New York and Miami in the 80s without some shady shit going down.

My non-expert opinion of course.

 

[Iolo]

I think Schiff said they would reestablish contact with Mueller immediately if Trump were to fire him, and basically continue the investigation regardless.

"They" being the powerless Democrats.

No, even if Mueller stays on and finds some blockbuster stuff, nothing will happen until Democrats regain control, or Trump exits the presidency and is subject to state level charges. (Though Ken Starr did make the case that a sitting president is indictable.)

 

[Mahonay]

Of course.

I don't think one can do a lot of real estate deals in New York and Miami in the 80s without some shady shit going down.

My non-expert opinion of course.

He's funneling money into his resorts and hotels currently as sitting president.

He had a crooked past and present.

"They" being the powerless Democrats.

No, even if Mueller stays on and finds some blockbuster stuff, nothing will happen until Democrats regain control, or Trump exits the presidency and is subject to state level charges. (Though Ken Starr did make the case that a sitting president is indictable.)

2018 isn't that far away now. Here's hoping.

 

[Game-Biz]

Joel Edgerton might be a good choice to play him.

 

[jellies_two]

Would you really need that many attorneys if you weren't finding anything?
I am guessing they also have support staff.

No. And the biggest mystery is how such a large group can be working without a leak. Are they locked away like a jury looking at electronic records? Even if they are leak proof if there is field work happening wouldn't that leak anonymously?

You don't employ lawyers to find evidence, that's for the FBI staff, you employ them when the evidence is ready and it's time to build the case to bring to court.

If they have enough to kick out the trump family why not do that first to save the tattered reputation of the country then pile on with all the followup additional charges. Look at the ex president of Brazil: ejected a while ago, now getting hit with additional charges.

 

[Muppet of a Man]

His team is heavily slanted to organized crime, but I'm sure all these people would sign on for a witch hunt.....

Well, Trump's family basically heads the American arm of the Russian mafia.

 

[Harrison Bergeron]

This is like the greatest legal team ever assembled in American. If anyone can find nothing and not make a case it'll be them!
