It would be a great ending for his eventful week...He is a traitor and needs to go down with Trump and the rest of the crooks in his administration. I will not be happy until all of them are behind bars.

(96,882 posts)Don Jr. would be far more likely, but Mueller is moving at his pace, not the one Democrats want.

(5,378 posts)analytics. I think he helped the Russians target specific areas. He is constantly lying about his foreign contacts for a reason. Even if he did not directly do something he knows what is going on.
Don Jr is also a crook. He is an arrogant little jerk. He belongs in a cell too.

Manafort seems to be the primary Russian intermediary.

(2,431 posts)right where he wants him. I think there's a credible narrative that explains exactly what's up with Manafort-https://www.democraticunderground.com/100210283635 . The key is that Manafort knows the when, where and how of the Russians gaining control of Trump. So does Kushner. Maybe not to the same extent, but Kushner knows and participated in the Russians' scheme at least since the Trump Tower meeting. He's done something criminal and he fills in some blanks in Manafort's knowledge. I think Kushner is next in Mueller's sights. Not to mention that I think that the 666 Fifth Avenue real estate deal is a foreign money laundering scheme that got blown up right in the middle of it's execution by Trump's election and Kushner's involvement in the government. These idiots thought it would help them instead of exposing them.

(18,508 posts).... would open two big doors for them.
1) A passage way to unimaginable self enrichment.
2) Make them absolutely untouchables of any criminal - past - present - current - and future wrong doings - allowing them to walk away scot-free free. They would now be in complete control if the DOJ and the could scuttle any/all/every criminal actions against themselves. As a bonus the DOJ could now be used as a battering ram against their political enemies to entangle them in criminal litigation with the threat of incarceration. For the shallow person as djt is and his propensity to harbor petty grudges - the DOJ was an instrument that would come at his complete disposal to inflict pain and full wrath upon people that slighted, insulted or wrong him.
Nobody insults the King of Orange or his family unless they are prepared to make a quick trip to the nastiest dungeons to be tormented and tortured for a very long time.
The benefits of royalty and the inherent powers of the Crown. Team Tr-dump style.
