Key is will Schneiderman be able to bring RICO against Trump and/or GOP for laundering Russian money - non-pardonable state crime charges. One can hope! |

Oh I hope Don Jr and Eric are both in there. I can't wait to see the arrogant smirks wiped off their ugly faces.
I think JR would sing to protect himself though. Both of them turning on Daddy would be delicious lol. Never going to happen but one can dream. The skeletons in their closets are certainly a cemetery's worth!
Waiting for the Trump meltdown.

My husband (a lawyer) believes they will start with someone most likely to cut a deal. The person will testify on higher ups in exchange for immunity or at least lesser charges. So who is most likely to start singing like a bird? It could be someone who is way under the public radar, like an aide or admin, who had access to everything that was going on but no public image.

That’s our thought as well, via the state prosecutor in the family. WSJ is confirming this story now, too. |

I just saw a snippet from Fox News wherein Corey Lewandoski stated we really should be concentrating on the lies of the "Clinton administration". 🤣 |

My money is on Paul Manafort and/or Michael Flynn, but I'd love to see that smug bastard Michael Cohen indicted also. Like Sean Hannity, he has a face that I just want to punch and I'm really not a violent person.

Well, if we're making picks, my trifecta is Flynn, Manafort, then Don Jr., in order of blatant prosecutable offenses. The suspense is killing me. If it's killing YOU, imagine what it's doing to people who might actually be arrested on Monday. It's going to be a long, painful weekend for quite a few people. I can imagine everyone involved in the campaign racking their brains trying to figure out if it's them or not. |

I think they're going to indict as many people as possible, for whatever possible - knowing some of them will cave and give up real information.
Once the indictments start, the show will begin. I'd love to see them start with a big name, but it's not likely, I guess.
I'm not convinced Jared will skate. I think he will get caught up in things, and if he doesn't go to jail, he will surely not come away unscathed. I can see him trying to hold out until Ivanka turns her back Then he will give it all up. He won't fare well in prison.
Word this week said Trump is offering to pay the legal bills of staffers dragged into this. Too him long enough to offer. I wonder if that has something to do with this. "I'll help you- but you have to be nice to me."

Oh, don't misunderstand me. I didn't say he was innocent of anything. I just don't think any charges will be brought on him. SaveSave You'd better watch out. I think we're turning you. LOL I dont think so! I've never been a fan of his. If the election was held today, with the same three candidates, I still wouldn't vote for HRC. I would stay with Stein. SaveSave |

Currently, I think Flynn first, only because Manfort is probably more complex and will take a bit more time.
Or, it’s going to be someone we haven’t even heard of yet.
I don’t think Junior will be charged with anything unless Daddy is. Which....HOPEFULLY, but I remain pessimistic. This is a good point. SaveSave |

Not to be a Debbie Downer but what if Trump pardons them all? Hopefully, they have some state charges which cannot be pardoned away. Funny how the HRC Uranium story resurrects just this week. You have to hand it to the Trump administration they know how to create propaganda. The sad part is the media helps them.

Word this week said Trump is offering to pay the legal bills of staffers dragged into this. Too him long enough to offer. I wonder if that has something to do with this. "I'll help you- but you have to be nice to me." I no longer have the articles at hand, but the campaign funds have been paying legal fees for several, but I forget who. I don't think any one thinks dt will be dipping into his pockets for others, he doesn't for himself! Wait just found it........... Donating to Trump? Campaign is spending $1 of every $10 on legal fees
By Jeremy Diamond, CNN Updated 1:26 PM ET, Tue October 17, 2017 Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump's campaign donors -- big and small -- are increasingly helping to foot the legal expenses the President's campaign and his son, Donald Trump Jr., are facing related to the investigations into allegations of collusion with Russia during the 2016 campaign. Trump's 2020 re-election campaign is driving a steadily rising share of its contributions to the lawyers representing the Trump campaign and the President's son. Legal consulting fees account for $1 of every $10 the campaign has spent this year, according to a review of campaign finance records. And last financial quarter, 24% of the campaign's legal bills bankrolled the legal fees of Trump's eldest son, who has drawn the attention of Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller because of his meeting last summer with a Russian attorney he believed would provide him with incriminating information from the Russian government about his father's opponent Hillary Clinton. Some of the campaign's more than $2 million in legal spending this year is due to the campaign's efforts to comply with records requests from the special counsel and the congressional committees that are also investigating Russian interference in the 2016 campaign. It's not clear precisely what share of the campaign's legal costs are tied to the Russia-related investigations beyond the $318,000 disbursed to Trump Jr.'s attorneys. The Trump campaign's executive director Michael Glassner did not respond to CNN requests for comment. ************* "What this means is that people who are giving to help re-elect Trump are actually paying for legal fees -- and that money will not be there during the election," said Larry Noble, the former general counsel of the Federal Election Commission who is now senior director at the Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan group of election law experts. ************* More at link: www.cnn.com/2017/10/17/politics/donald-trump-campaign-legal-fees/index.html |

She's not done anything indictable. If she had she'd have been caught by now. It isn't as though you folks on the right haven't tried. This whole continued talk about locking up HRC is pure misogny. |

Trump sons to launch real estate project in IndiaBY JOHN BOWDEN - 10/28/17 02:24 PM EDT President Trump's sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump will head to India in the coming weeks to launch two residential projects for the Trump Organization despite concerns over the president's potential conflicts of interest with foreign governments. The Washington Post reported Saturday that this latest deed was signed before the Trump Organization's pledge to avoid new foreign dealings during Trump's time in the White House. The two projects, a Trump-branded tower in Kolkata and apartments in the capital city of New Delhi, join three other active Trump Organization projects in the country. In a statement to the Post, the Trump Organization boasted of the strength of the company's existing India investments. **************** The pending launches are evidence that the Trump Organization's "no new foreign deal" pledge does not extend to projects that were begun or considered before Trump took office in January. Critics of the Trump administration say these deals risk major conflicts of interest for the president. Richard Painter, a former ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush, said that Trump risks exposing himself to potential corruption probes. “A company owned by the president of the United States shouldn’t be risking potential corruption investigations and working with foreign government officials who may be corrupt,” Painter told the Post. “They shouldn't be trying to do all these deals all over the world. It just isn’t working." In May, it was reported that Trump has gone back on his pledge to donate profits earned from foreign governments to the U.S. Treasury in an effort to avoid conflicts of interest. NBC News reported that Trump hotels were not tracking all possible payments from foreign governments, despite Trump's promise. The Constitution's emoluments clause prohibits the president from receiving foreign gifts. Trump did not divest his assets after being elected, and instead put his business empire into a trust controlled by his two sons. thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/357642-trump-sons-to-launch-real-estate-project-in-indiaMaybe he will be busy, surely they will pull passports!!
