Things don’t look so good for Cheeto. Per Rachel Maddow
Unlike previous subpoenas, this one is in the context of a criminal investigation with a sitting grand jury, making it more difficult for the president’s lawyers to dodge this filing with a lawsuit.”
What’s more, as Rachel noted on the show last night, the new subpoena comes on the heels of Michael Cohen’s reportedly entering into an agreement with New York City prosecutors in which he’s providing information about the president’s business operation.
There are so many request for his Tax returns this must be wearing on Cheeto

Are we ever going to see those dam tax returns??? The suspense is killing everyone one of us who want to know what is in them.
Trump's communications with foreign leader are part of whistleblower complaint
Apparently it was a phone call to a foreign leader. Our great ruler promised that leader something no one knows yet. I wonder if we will ever know.
The complaint was filed on August 12 and White House records show Trump had spoken to or interacted with five foreign leaders in the previous five weeks, the Post reports: Russian President Vladimir Putin, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, the Prime Minister of the Netherlands and the Emir of Qatar. However, it's not clear that the communication that inspired the complaint was with any of those leaders.
Any thoughts on this? Every day he gets bad news. I hope this is causing him more stress everyday.
yes I'd love to know if anyone is getting anything on this - more importantly is it going to come out.
Yes, I wonder if and/or when the whistleblower info will come out, since DNI Maguire has refused to turn this information over to the House Intelligence Committee. I've read that the WH and DOJ advised Maguire that a complaint involving the President isn't governed by laws covering intelligence whistleblowers. So in other words, the 45th can do whatever the hell he wants. But the inspector general, who initially received the complaint, insists that the matter is very relevant to those who have oversight of intelligence.
Since the whistleblower went through the proper channels and his information is now being withheld by the DNI and this administration, I'm wondering whether he/she might go directly to the House Intelligence Committee with his information? It took a lot of courage to come forward, and I can only imagine how frustrated, distressed and conflicted this person must feel. I've also heard that Adam Schiff has threatened to sue the WH over this.
I am very concerned for our country because the Constitutional checks and balances seem to be disintegrating, bit by bit. I can't get an intuitive read on any of this, probably because I'm too damn mad. For right now, at least, the goon squad appears to be winning.
To the question someone asked about which foreign leader DT was making inappropriate promises to — in this instance The first thought I had was Kim Jong Un. But I feel he’s made many promises out of earshot to Putin and the Saudi’s. He just got sloppy this particular time because he has become so accustomed to making his own deals with foreign leaders, giving away classified information and betraying our country in ways that he is too ignorant to realize it’s a betrayal.
More is going to come out that will hurt him but I suspect that the big hurt will happen when the economy goes down and the rats who have supported him jump ship.
I thought Kim at first but then thought better of it. He shows his love for Kim in plain sight so it has to be someone else. I read that the country is Ukraine. He and Guiliani called looking to dig up dirt on Biden and his son.
Rudy Giuliani, to pressure the Ukrainian government into digging up dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, who once served on the board of a Ukrainian gas company.
Extortion?
OK so now we've got this whistleblower thing that's propelled us into a new level of crazy. It's hard to digest, but yes, it appears that trump is blackmailing another country by threatening to withhold aid unless they dig up dirt on his political opponent. The $$ appears to have been released, so we'll see whether Ukraine starts some sham investigation into Biden's son, or whether the publicity led to the administration releasing the money. Time will tell.
What does stick out in my mind are two things: Lawrence's prediction over the summer that trump was sliding down a hill (I think that's what he wrote), and Bluebelle's remote viewing into the future. If my recollection is correct, Bluebelle said that she saw trump, his kids, and his minions gone. That Barr was the first to go, then Mnuchin, then the rest. At the time I thought Bluebelle mentioning Barr and Mnuchin specifically was interesting. However, we now know that there is this whistleblower complaint, and it appears that the DOJ (read: Barr) is trying to suppress it. On top of that there is also an IRS whistleblower complaint that's gotten less press. It involves trump's taxes not being properly audited, as the law requires. If that complaint is being suppressed as well it's Mnuchin who would be doing the suppressing. Is it possible that both of these men either buck trump and have to resign? Are they unwilling to go down with a sinking ship? Or are they so freaked out over possibly going to jail at some point in the future that they start to cooperate with congress? Bluebelle predicted that people would be unwilling to go to jail or get fined (I think this is what her prediction said) and the damn would break. Are we seeing this begining of the end? I don't have an answer, just a hunch.
I remember saying that November will be bad for T both politically and psychically. Feels like he sees the stop sign ahead. I think many more Americans will finally wake up.
Lynn- yes, T is sliding downhill on his fanny, out of control.
Nice work Lawrence.
As for Bluebelle—while I pay attention to everyone who does predictions here on Read the Future nights because the majority end out coming true, I pay extra attention to Bluebelle’s predictions because she’s had high accuracy over the years.
Also she made these recently and often, though not always, there is more accuracy in short term predictions. Longer term predictions are harder to get right.
