An ex-prosecutor believes that Mueller has a major problem. Can you spot Mueller’s problem?

If Mueller thinks Trump committed a federal crime, his remedy is to recommend impeachment in a report to the attorney general. The attorney general, in turn, is supposed to tell Congress the outcome of the special counsel’s investigation and decide whether the report should be made public. Did you catch the problem? The acting attorney general is Matthew Whitaker, Trump’s creature and a vigorous critic of Mueller’s investigation. Mueller has every reason to expect that Whitaker will suppress the report and limit what he shows to Congress.

A formal report is not, however, Mueller’s only way to tell the Nation (and the GOP controlled senate, which will never impeach) about his conclusions. Mueller could make his report to the Nation through court filings against Trump confederates like Manafort and Cohen. On Monday, Mueller accused Manafort of lying to investigators, breaching his cooperation agreement, and committing further federal crimes. The sentencing briefs will let Mueller tell the story of how Manafort lied about the Trump campaign — and, by extension, lay out the evidence of what the Trump campaign did.

Cohen’s case lets Mueller do the same thing — tell a story, make a report — despite the GOP’s efforts to hush Mueller.

The remarkable thing about Cohen’s plea was its substance. The president of the United States’ personal lawyer admitted to lying to Congress about the president’s business activities with a hostile foreign power, in order to support the president’s story. In any rational era, that would be earthshaking. Now it’s barely a blip. Over the past two years, we’ve become accustomed to headlines like “President’s Campaign Manager Convicted of Fraud” and “President’s Personal Lawyer Paid for Adult Actress’s Silence.” We’re numb to it all. But these are the sorts of developments that would, under normal circumstances, end a presidency.

They still might. Cohen’s plea is only one shoe dropping in a boot warehouse. Who else lied to Congress? They’re not just in danger from Mueller, either. In weeks the Democratic majority will take over the House of Representatives. Control of committees will shift, and subpoenas will fly like arrows at Agincourt. Each hearing will present new terrible choices: Take the Fifth, tell uncomfortable truths, or lie and court perjury charges?

I wouldn’t expect President Trump’s agitated tweets to stop anytime soon.

Mr. Ken White is a better attorney than I was going to give him credit for. I thought the part that I underlined was part of the article, but you added it there, Second.

You're right. The GOP controlled Senate would never impeach. A Democrat controlled Senate couldn't impeach either. It's the House of Representative's job to impeach. It's the Senate's job to either convict or acquit after the impeachment.

You've really got to stop passing off other people's articles as your own.

Do you know what impeachment means?

Do Right, Be Right. :)

The whole deal is that there is vice-President for a reason: to step seamlessly in for Trump. Obviously, you can't recognize that Pence will do exactly the same as Trump, but without all the lying and without being the drama queen. Trump promised a government shutdown to get his wall, but he announced a two week delay. Pence could delay the wall just as easily as Trump will. Trump announced he would delay raising tariffs to 25% on China for 90 days. Pence could delay raising tariffs just as easily. Trump announced he could denuclearize North Korea or else Fire and Fury the likes of which the world will never see from Trump. Pence could do the same nothing to N Korea, too, and he could be just as ineffective as Trump in negotiating with Kim. Climate change? Trump or Pence is 6 of 1, half dozen of the other.

6ix, I don't admire your loyalty to Trump. He is a less useful tool than Pence to get what you want from the federal government. 6ix, you should abandon Trump and switch your loyalty to Pence, who is a clean V.P., not dirty like V.P. Spiro Agnew. Dear old Spiro resigned because he was a bigger crook than Nixon. Or maybe bigger crook even than Trump.

I've got proof that Trump is no better than Obama, so it would not be a big deal to swap Pence for Trump. Trump is such an ineffective slob that the GOP controlled Senate ought to be pleased to fire his fat dumb ass and replace him with Pence.

Prove it. It is standard technique in salesmanship to declare your product to be greater than the competition's, but not provide the proof. Salesmen don't ripoff every person they talk to, just the ones that believe the sales pitch without proof.

Prove that he hasn't, you dumb cunt.

The federal debt has been getting steadily bigger and is predicted to increase by $8.5 trillion if Trump stays in office 6 more years. (It started at $20 trillion) The foreign trade deficit is getting worse, not better as Trump promised. Incomes are growing at a feeble rate, same as under Obama. The number of people employed under Trump follows the exact same trend line that it was on during Obama.

America under Trump is doing no better than under Obama. Trump is not providing the superior product performance he promised as a super salesman. But Trump's personal performance has been a little worse on a few things, such as scandals.

Hey Jack, sig and kiki, watch this and then tell us what is false. Tell us what you believe is not true and why.

Rachel Maddow shows how the Trump Organization's continued pursuit of a Trump Tower Moscow deal into the 2016 campaign, exposed by Michael Cohen this week, explains Donald Trump's soft stance on sanctioning Russian entities, including the bank that would finance the Trump Tower deal.

Give me a more palatable source. If it's a legit story, I'm sure somebody other than Rachel is reporting on it.

I love Trump for good reasons:
1) Multi-million dollar tax cut for me. Each year. Never could have gotten that from Hillary.
2) Trump's emotional instability could ruin the GOP. I hope Trump is not smart enough to resign for the good of his party like Spiro Agnew did. And like Nixon did. With those guys gone, President Ford took charge. He was competent, and he also was not a crook nor a loudmouth drama queen like Spiro, Nixon, and Trump. V.P. Pence would make a fine President, in the manner of Ford.
3) Because Ford pardoned Nixon, Ford was not elected to a second term. I hope V.P. Pence learned that lesson from Ford. Pence can privately, on second though, publicly dangle a pardon in front of Trump to get him to resign, then Pence changes his mind once he is President and does not issue the pardon. Oh, that would be such a funny joke on Trump.

Yep, as expected. Can't argue with the facts can you dummy. It going to be another busy week for Mueller I think, I hope.

He's not even going to be impeached, so don't worry... he's not going to resign.

Your tax cuts are going to be fine.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

You are right that Trump is not smart enough to resign. Spiro Agnew was, and he had a nice smooth life, mostly playing golf after being Nixon's V.P. Nixon was smart enough. Trump is not so smart. I hope he holds on as long as possible, 6 years even, managing to wreck the GOP and his own life after life in DC. The longer he stays in DC, the longer I get my tax cut and the more likely Texas flips to a majority Democrat state. Trump could hasten that flip if he actually does build the Texas/Mexico Wall. I hope he does and I hope he has to shutdown the government several times to get the money for the wall, pissing on everybody who thinks the wall is a waste of money.

Trump’s total golf expenses — including the cost of his Secret Service detail — currently stand at an estimated $83,000,000. The president played his most recent round on Sunday, Nov. 25, at Trump International. https://qz.com/1481003/
