Walls are closing in, the pieces are being put into place and the stage is almost set. Get everything ready, Mueller. So we can finally watch the fireworks...
Didn't Trump supposedly talk about the Comey firing with the Russians when they were in the White House?

That's probably because Trump mouthed off about "what a relief it was for Comey to be gone".
This is essentially to nail him with obstruction of justice, the easiest charge to bring against him.
Yes, that idiot said it relieved a lot of pressure.

What if they already have the documents but they are just trying to trip the White House into falsifying/omitting said documents?
I mean he can always try that. But that would look so bad it might as well be an admission of guilt.
Well that'd just be mean spirited, in which case this could all be over pretty quick. I doubt this is the case though, Mueller is probably looking for confirmation of something specific.

Trump is gonna learn the hard way that Mueller doesn't move on like the news cycle does.
The problem with the Russia coverage is that there's been SO much and Trump / GOP has tried to derail and distract in so may ways. It's worked with the Fox News crowd; but they're gonna be in for a rude awakening if they think Mueller also gets distracted.

you're assuming he gives a fuck
every single time he's been presented with a decision between two options, he's always taken the option that has the worst outcome

He's fired everyone. Who's leaking this shit? His Lawyers?

There is still time!
I wouldn't be surprised if it's tactical leaks put out by Mueller's team. They probably know Trump and his underlings are stupid enough to take bait.

Slow? As far as investigations go, the man is going at warp speed. He's only been on the job a few months and he's unraveling years worth of entanglement between Trump and his cronies.
I bet everyone who works with him ends up hating him so much they immediately want to help bring him down.
It's a sinking ship and no one's happy with their job, there's no way for them to stop leaks in this situation.
Or at least vent to someone after work. And who listens better than that reporter you're always talking to?

They're going to claim executive privilege over a ton of shit. We may have another Supreme Court case like U.S. v. Nixon.

And he did it the day after firing Comey.

Nope. Report clearly says white house officials and not investigators or the like.
Has to be. I don't see any tactical advantage to this leak. I'm no lawyer though.

We're near the final season gaf.
With all of the shit happening to Manafort right now, plus some of this juicy info, I have a hunch we're going to start seeing some fireworks soon - like maybe within a month
Oh whoops my bad.
Man, everyone working at the White House right now must really hate their job lol.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
This is a good reminder that despite the recent leaks focusing on Manafort, Flynn is still in the mix too and probably fucked. Imagine if both of them flip.
It'll be interesting to see how the supreme court rules on that.

I hope he is coordinating with and feeding information to state Attorney Generals so they can prosecute these pricks at the state level if he attempts to fire Mueller or pardon people.

Should be a nice thin folder since the president won't read anything longer than a few sentences

A thing to remember all this Muller stuff gets put out weeks behind. So we are not sure where he exactly is right now.
I don't think he feels he can, ever since firing Comey put the entire country into emergency mode.
Hasn't it been rumored for a bit that Flynn might have already flipped?
I can't even remember the last time we heard Flynn get mentioned

The obstruction case seems very strong, unfortunately, it's not as incendiary as collusion with the Russians so I'm not sure if congress even considers taking action on that alone without a incredibly incriminating document. As long as there is even a little wiggle room, they will not act unless it's politically advantageous.
