what hes trying to hide. the pee transfer money?

 

[benicillin]

Yeah I totally believe that Trumps revolving door of asskissing lawyers who he found on Russian Craigslist because no one serious wants to represent him will really be able to find a way to discredit one of the most respected lawmen in America.

 

[Slacker]

Republicans will let him fire AG and put someone in to dismiss Mueller.

Just a matter of time now.

All up to the press at this point.

Schiff promises to create a special counsel and appoint Mueller to head it up if that happens. I almost hope it does just for the show, you know, aside from the lasting damage to the office of the presidency and our democracy in general.

 

[x24hrs2livex]

If a President can pardon themself from any crime what's to keep them from literally doing whatever they want regardless of the law as long as congress won't impeach them?

I've said before, this Congress will go down in history as the worst ever. If they allow Trump to issue middle of the term pardons(which he can) to his campaign cronies, and himself, our democracy is dead.

 

[norm9]

Just say it's presidential privilege or some shit.

 

[The Kree]

This is not the behavior of an innocent man.

Plenty of people don't know enough about Mueller compared to considering everything Trump and Fox News to say as fact.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I can't wait the future where Trump is in hiding somewhere in Moscow.

 

[Cake Boss]

Well this is behaviour of an innocent man.

 

[Fancyarcher]

"I'm innocent, nothing to see here. Lies, lies, lies, from that demon Mueller". This sure seems like something an innocent person would do. Trump is one swell guy everyone.

Yep. Notice how absolutely nothing leaks out of Mueller's office? Turns out there's more to leadership than being an ass.

Helps when you actually have skill and you've hired the best team, unlike Trump.

Schiff promises to create a special counsel and appoint Mueller to head it up if that happens.

Schiff needs Republican help for that and I’m nowhere near convinced that he’d get it.

 

[Afrodium]

Ignoring the "can I pardon myself?" insanity, this also confirms that if Don Jr. or another family member goes down first, Trump is planning to pardon them. That's gonna be one hell of a shitstorm.

 

[FullMetaltech]

Lol. Already thinking of pardoning himself. I wonder why.

 

[jdstorm]

Honestly with the insane team Mueller has put together, this theme is more appropriate.

Nah more like this

[Beer Monkey]

He's gonna destroy the Republican party and still end up in New York state prison.

 

[RumbleHumble]

He'll get it. Republicans love a man threatening to fund primaries against them only so much.

 

[Maxim726X]

He'll get it. Republicans love a man threatening to fund primaries against them only so much.

No way. Republicans still fear Trump... At least right now.

 

[Beer Monkey]

No way. Republicans still fear Trump... At least right now.

That fear is fading fast.

 

[DrForester]

I can't wait the future where Trump is in hiding somewhere in Moscow.

I would hope the Secret Service would detain him. If Trump is removed from office, he still knows a ton of classified into.

That fear is fading fast.

...is what people have been saying for the last 18 months.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

President who redefines the definition of conflict of interest thinks club fees from six years ago is a big deal.

 

[Loudninja]

"Ya honor I find myself not guilty"

 

[ggx2ac]

This is not the behavior of an innocent man.

Paul Ryan: It's his first day.

 

[Zolo]

President who redefines the definition of conflict of interest thinks club fees from six years ago is a big deal.

lmao. You'd have to be Trump-level petty to think someone would hold a grudge over that for 6 years.

 

[Generalpsyduck]

 

[RumbleHumble]

No way. Republicans still fear Trump... At least right now.

Hahaha, if Republicans were so scared of Trump, they wouldn't of let Comey go public in the first place. Between this and the healthcare mess, there's not many who hold to Trump. Especially since his reactions to the scandal only get in the way of their tax-cutting dreams.

 

[DrSlek]

This is as close to an admission of guilt you can get without actually admitting guilt.

"I did nothing wrong, but I want to pardon myself anyway"

 

[Zolo]

Hahaha, if Republicans were so scared of Trump, they wouldn't of let Comey go public in the first place. Between this and the healthcare mess, there's not many who hold to Trump. Especially since his reactions to the scandal only get in the way of their tax-cutting dreams.

 

[Master Yoshi]

Has he asked about launching the nukes at the media yet? I feel like we're in for a mad King moment when he's finally cornered with his crimes.

 

[Zach]

This is not the behavior of an innocent man.

Well this is behaviour of an innocent man.

🤔

 

[RumbleHumble]

...is what people have been saying for the last 18 months.

And Trump Jr.'s getting questioned next week. If Republicans were really so scared, why in the hell would they let even their own investigations progress an inch?

 

[Wilsongt]

Bitches be sweatin'.

 

[Speely]

It frightens me that so many Americans relate to this man, even when it's blatantly obvious that he is both an idiot and a monster. This shit won't go away when he does.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Trump could point all of our nuclear missiles at ourselves and give Putin the launch codes, and the Republican Congress wouldn't do a daggum thing.

 

[RumbleHumble]

It frightens me that so many Americans relate to this man, even when it's blatantly obvious that he is both an idiot and a monster. This shit won't go away when he does.

White men in America just hate being told that they're wrong. Trump is the walking embodiment of that sentiment.

 

[megalowho]

Starting to feel like Trump firing and defaming Mueller is where this is headed as the walls keep closing in.

 

[darkwing]

yeah Mueller is going to get fired

 

[Brandon F]

These are the questions and actions often taken by the innocent.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

yeah Mueller is going to get fired

I'll be surprised if he isn't at some point. Sooner rather than later.

 

[Plinko]

If he fires Mueller, I have no doubt the IC will leak a ton of stuff.

I'm also confident Mueller has some sort of failsafe that will get New York Attorney General Schneiderman all the important details so state charges will be filed in case Mueller is fired.

 

[Surfinn]

I think his lawyers are starting to realize that Mueller investigating Trump's financials and tax returns is going to return some damning evidence.

They're panicking

 

[Kusagari]

I wonder, considering his statements this week, if he's going to try to pressure Sessions to resign.

Then he can put someone new in and they can fire Rosenstein and Mueller.

 

[Lightning_Roller]

I'll be surprised if he isn't at some point. Sooner rather than later.

If Mueller does get fired, I'm willing to bet he has some contingency plans just in case.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Ignoring the "can I pardon myself?" insanity, this also confirms that if Don Jr. or another family member goes down first, Trump is planning to pardon them. That's gonna be one hell of a shitstorm.

Which is why when Mueller delivers indictments it's going to be all at once. Mueller also has a constitutional lawyer as counsel, for I'm assuming this very question.

 

[RumbleHumble]

The Intel community is going to want action regardless of Congress's perceived cowardice. The whole reason Trump's in this mess in the first place is because of them. You don't fuck with the CIA unless you know what you're doing. It's safe to say Trump doesn't have a clue what he's doing.

 

[DrForester]

And Trump Jr.'s getting questioned next week. If Republicans were really so scared, why in the hell would they let even their own investigations progress an inch?

Well, like the other people testifying, they'll try to lead them on with questions about Clinton.

 

[uncredited male]

I am putting money on a preemptive self-pardon where he declares the investigation a conspiracy and that he needed to do it so he could focus on running the country.

 

[Speely]

White men in America just hate being told that they're wrong. Trump is the walking embodiment of that sentiment.

No lies detected.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

If Mueller does get fired, I'm willing to bet he has some contingency plans just in case.

Something tells me Trump doesn't plan that far ahead.

 

[Marvie_3]

He really has no idea how to keep his mouth shut. :lol

 

[skullmuffins]

1. Trump is clearly scared shitless of someone poking around in his finances.

2. I don't think finding a conflict of interest for Mueller is really a great strategy for shutting down the investigation. They could use it to cast aspersions on his conclusions, but if he's fired for an alleged conflict, the normal thing to do would be appoint a replacement special counsel, not kill the investigation. Rosenstein has no reason to wave away the investigation given he was the one who opened it in the first place.

3. I think Mark Corallo, the legal team spokesman, likely quit because of the attacks on Mueller and the DOJ.
