Special counsel is investigating Trump for possible obstruction of justice, officials

Still think the absolute best case scenario is that this investigation plays out over the next 1-2 yrs and more and more details continue to steadily trickle out leading up to the midterm elections.

The only way Trump would get impeached is with a Democrat-controlled Congress.

Feels like Mueller is going to get fired very soon.

To do that he'd have to fire Rosenstein, then fire everyone in the chain of command until he finds someone who would do it for him.

The White House insiders have to be going insane because they know how bad it would be but then Trump turns on TV and all he sees on Foxnews is Fire Mueller!!!

Here's a Wired article about Mueller's assembled team, which includes names that should scare Trump and anyone associated with him (particularly business partners), and goes in depth on one former FBI agent's history, including a time he and his partner wound up going undercover as immigration officiasl in South Africa in order to catch a terrorist suspect.

The one that should spook Trump the most however is the expert on money laundering cases, Lisa Page, who has even overseen cases into Eastern European crooks' money laundering specifically, including one connected to Paul Manafort in Ukraine.

Yeah, this was leaked to elicit a response by Trump.

You think Trump wouldn't do that?

There is little evidence Mueller could provide that would be more convincing that Trump obstructed justice than Trump firing half the DOJ to fire Mueller. If the GOP Congress doesn't impeach after that, then nothing Mueller would have presented would have done the job either.

Good.

I'd like to see someone like Hannity shut down because Trump is actually charged/found guilty of something.

There is literally no outcome of this investigation after which people like Hannity will change their tune. It will always be the work of some corrupt shadow organization, not the fact that Trump is a bold-faced criminal.

Hannity and his audience have a disgusting and codependent relationship. As such, the only way he'll ever alter his rhetoric is if his audience is fed up with Trump. Then it'll be a sudden and dramatic shift once he finds a new icon to fellate.

I only wish that Comey had announced the president wasn't currently under investigation so that would have a duty to correct that now.

Trump had received private assurances from former FBI Director James B. Comey starting in January that he was not personally under investigation. Officials say that changed shortly after Comey’s firing.

They'll bring back "Deep State" as the word of the week. That term didn't really have staying power as a term like Death Panel.

I can see it now, Trump is stupid enough to say something like Comey saying he wasn't under investigation means Mueller can't investigate him or something like that.

Hmm.

Still not sure there is a case, but if this was leaked to push the president to fire his DAG to fire Mueller...

Well played.

Investigators have also been looking for any evidence of possible financial crimes among Trump associates, officials said.
This is going to be real bad for some people.

I wonder if this is what will start to turn the tides. There might be some dudes who start to beg Congress to get Trump impeached to shut this down before it implicates them to.

Would be hilarious if he gets impeached for obstruction then Mueller comes in and files charges against him involving the Russian meddling as a normal citizen.
