Not sure if you heard, but this could be good news. The FBI obtained a search warrant yesterday from a Grand Jury for Strategic Campaign Group- a company with ties to Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, Mercer, and Cambridge Analytica. Suspicions of money laundering for foreign governments and unethical/illegal online data mining practices to name just a few of their questionable practices. According to reports many, many Republican government officials have used Strategic Campaign Group for their campaigns and could be implicated.
Once they start pulling this thread, a big, big web is going to unravel and take down a lot of politicians with it. My sense is that it is going to get ugly for a while with a lot of confusion and power plays going on, but eventually this investigation is far enough along to shake out a lot of corrupt people-- including those in the Trump administration.
Although I think Trump will go quiet in 2018 and be out by 2019 as many have said, my sense has been that something bad comes out that he can't deny in August and that is the beginning of the end for him. By the end of the year, we'll see Pence take the helm in some way. Maybe not officially, but Pence will be the recognized figure head. He's not much better ethically, but he is less chaotic.
Eventually I think Pence will be exposed too. The U. S. will be devastated by how deep the corruption goes. I see our whole country in shock for a while. But, eventually we begin to pull things back together with a different structure of government. I'm not sure exactly what it will look like. But, feels like this will prompt us to put different requirements on who can hold office and that the American people will be much more vigilant on holding people accountable. The process of rebuilding and restructuring our government will take many years though. Stay positive though! We can do this.
Thank you so much Cassandra for the hopeful information about the warrant. Manafort is for sure in deep, and Sessions may still be covering up for him. (Did you happen to see Rachel Maddow last night when she questioned this?) And Lora, it feels like a movie/dream to me, too. I agree the corruption is widespread, and that many in Trumpland are in on the "deal," whatever it is. Hopefully, the partisans who currently refuse to contain or stop Trump will soon turn into patriots. We the people will eventually prevail. I refuse to give up on us.
Thank you Cassandra for the information and for your insightful reading. which totally jives with my own and with the readings of the Predictions Group. I am psyched to be able to post what the group got on Tuesday night. There is so much that it's taking me time to assemble it. Hope to have it up by Sunday.
Thanks for asking Jeanne on this Elaine. Jeanne did such a phenomenal job guiding us. I think others would love anything for her alone. I'm glad she said audio and not video. I had a funny experience computing my time zone and adding in an unexpected app at the last minute and expected the camera to be on Jeanne not us. I was laying in bed in relax wear when I saw my face in a video screen..haha. Ego out the door first thing and go with the flow ;-)
