How much longer, one wonders, can a man who famously bragged that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it be expected to resist temptation to dismiss the special counsel?

After firing the special counsel, I knew Nixon was doomed politically when, just a week after the massacre, I received a letter from Irene Cloud, my aunt who lived in the tiny town of Kingman, Kansas, some 50 miles or so west of Wichita. Cloud was a dedicated Lincoln Republican in the moderate, anti-slavery Kansas tradition that had existed from the civil war to the 21st century, when the far right captured the state house.

An unmarried grammar school teacher, Cloud wrote me rarely but always to a purpose. When I opened the envelope, I found inside a light blue sheet of note paper on which in her perfect, schoolmarm’s hand, she had written “Dear Stanley, I have reached the conclusion that Mr Nixon is a bad man …”

If Nixon had lost my Aunt Irene, he had lost the nation.

Not everyone today believes that Donald Trump will necessarily suffer the same fate as Nixon should he fire Robert Mueller. At least two good friends of mine who are experts in measuring public opinion – and who are not themselves conservatives – told me recently that they believe Trump’s “base” in the Republican party will stick with him in a way that Nixon’s base, including my Aunt Irene, did not. “They would think firing Mueller was just another example of Trump bringing Washington to heel,” said one.

Suspicions, Demands and Threats: Devin Nunes vs. the Justice Dept.

WASHINGTON — Since Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee declared that they had found no evidence of coordination between Russia’s election interference and the Trump campaign, its chairman has decisively turned the panel’s attention from investigation to investigators.

The chairman, Representative Devin Nunes of California, has issued increasingly bold demands for access to some of the Justice Department’s most sensitive case files. He has courted a series of escalating confrontations over access to materials that are usually off limits to Congress under department policy. And when those efforts failed, he threatened top law enforcement officials — mostly Republicans appointed by Mr. Trump.

This is the same guy who was forced to recuse himself from the Russian investigation because he showed himself to be untrustworthy when it comes to the truth.

Mueller needs about 10 more Muellers. If anyone complains about how long this is taking, "if Trump and his a-clown posey weren't so corrupt we could have finished this 10 months ago."

When anyone says this is taking to long they are lying. Mueller is moving forward at a breakneck speed. The White Water investigation took 4 years and more than 30 million dollars. It only uncovered an affair. With Watergate it took a year and a half to uncover that Nixon taped his Oval Office discussions. And the 30 plus Benghazi investigations took longer than this as well.

When all is said and done the historians will lay it all out. What you and I have posted in these threads will be validated again and again. Right now the Republicans are working feverishly to make sure Mueller's report never see's the light of day. Let's hope they fail.

Mueller issues grand jury subpoenas to Trump adviser's social media consultant

U.S. Justice Department Special Counsel Robert Mueller has issued two subpoenas to a social media expert who worked for longtime Donald Trump adviser Roger Stone during the 2016 presidential election campaign.

The subpoenas were delivered late last week to lawyers representing Jason Sullivan, a social media and Twitter specialist Stone hired to work for an independent political action committee he set up to support Trump, Knut Johnson, a lawyer for Sullivan, told Reuters on Tuesday.

The subpoenas suggest that Mueller, who is probing Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, is focusing in part on Stone and whether he might have had advance knowledge of material allegedly hacked by Russian intelligence and sent to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who published it.

One of the two subpoenas delivered last week requests that Sullivan appear before a grand jury on May 18 at the Federal Courthouse in Washington, D.C. The other orders Sullivan to bring documents, objects and electronically stored information.

Manafort ex-son-in-law agrees to plea deal: report

Ex-Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort's former son-in-law has reportedly agreed to a plea deal with the Justice Department.
Jeffrey Yohai, who was divorced from Manafort's daughter last year, has agreed to cooperate with prosecutors as part of the deal, two people with knowledge of the situation told Reuters.

Manafort has been charged on several counts related to money laundering and other financial crime in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, and is set to go on trial later this year.
The sources told Reuters that Yohai may be asked to help Mueller in his prosecution of Manafort in an effort to pressure him to plead guilty and cooperate with prosecutors.

Exclusive: Special Counsel subpoenas another Stone aide in Russia probe

U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller has subpoenaed a key assistant of long-time Donald Trump adviser Roger Stone, two people with knowledge of the matter said, the latest sign that Mueller's investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election is increasingly focusing on Stone.

The subpoena was recently served on John Kakanis, 30, who has worked as a driver, accountant and operative for Stone. Kakanis has been briefly questioned by the FBI on the topics of possible Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, the WikiLeaks website, its founder Julian Assange, and the hacker or hackers who call themselves Guccifer 2.0, one of the people with knowledge of the matter said.
