As US Attorney, Boente serves at the pleasure of the President. His days were obviously numbered, just like all of them.

Mueller's position is rather different. Trump can fire him, of course, but it would set off a firestorm in Congress like Nixon's Saturday night massacre. It looks like suicide from here because doing so would be a tacit admission of guilt.
Hasn't Schiff said that if Trump fires Mueller that The Dems would re-hire him to infinity?

I'd love to see a surprise like Mueller naming the dotard as unindicted coconspirator.

If he gets to Manfort he'll get Trump, I have little doubt about that because Manafort would sell his mother to avoid a slap in the face.

It could be that Trumps chosen associates will ensure that he will get impeached... GOD DAMMIT! Now I'm getting my hopes up again...

When it hits the fan I can't imagine why anyone would choose to stay loyal to Trump. I know he demands it but he feels none toward anyone but himself. All of them should have learned that lesson well by now.

But HILLARY colluded with Russia because of Uranium and 965 trillion dollars right in her pocket with pay to play and the Podesta Emails not to mention BENGHAZI!

Trust me on this, not one of his fantastic retards will budge one inch from the idea that Hillary matters and Trump doesn't even though he's president and she lost.

They will stick with that come 2020 elections too and probably win again. Other than a few scraps of the internet like this one there is massive and INCREASING support for Trump.

The only way he gets impeached is if the Democrats win the house back in next year's midterms, as the GOP has become the party of Trump and they control the house of representatives. Impeachment just means the house votes a simple majority to put the president on trial in the senate. To remove him from office the house needs to impeach and then at least 67 senators (eg >2/3 of the senate) need to vote to convict in the trial. Conviction would be extremely doubtful even if the Democrats have a huge wave election in 2018, as there aren't a lot of Republican seats open in the senate for the 2018 election and they already have 52/100 seats.

You didn't really think Russian interest in US politics was a brand new thing did you? :) We influence elections all over the world and have for ages, so do all the other countries in the world.

Their methods & the obvious extent of the meddling are new for 2016. They were all in for the Donald, make no mistake about that. It just shows that a lot of Americans need to be more careful about what they believe & who they believe in.

Trumpsters, of course, have no idea what it means to be on the same side as Russian psyops. Not a clue.

One thing I'm sure of is that Mueller & his team will do their best to come up with honest answers & will lay it out in a straightforward fashion as this unfolds.

Remember when they announced that Mueller had switched his investigation to DNC lobbyists? Remember when I said the case would now start to move quickly because the targets were no longer the President or any of his associates?


Watch them come down with indictments of DNC lobbyists. The grand jury was convened in Virginia. If they were going after Trump or his kids or his friends it would be a New York grand jury. Virginia is what you would use to indict DNC lobbyists.


I can't believe how gullible you people are. Your love affair with Mueller will soon sour.

This post did not age well. Any rethinking of your theory now that Trump’s campaign manager has been indicted?

What's hilarious is that Roger Stone got himself banned from Twitter for threatening CNN journalists over "fake news." Huh, turns out that CNN deals in these things called "facts," while everyone associated with the Trump camp is always lying.

This also explains why Roger Stone lost his shit over the weekend. Him and Manafort were besties.
