Jared will end up in jail, eventually.
Someone in my predictions group had predicted for December 2017 that the Congress would be roiling with controversy over what to do about the President. This prediction came two years ago! I don't know who made that prediction. It came before I started putting people's names next to their visions. We all thought it was going to be Hillary.
Comey made note in his testimony last week that he was working with two different sets of attorneys. One of which being the Eastern Division of VA. CNN announced tonight that there were warrants (subpoenas) issued today for some of Flynn's associates. Trump in his letter firing Comey lied, stating that Comey told him three times he wasn't under investigation. Comey would not have told him this-he would not have discussed an ongoing investigation with the subject of that investigation.
The way the WH did this was low class and ill conceived. It will backfire big time. There are Republicans who are denouncing this action. The WH is unprepared for the backlash that will come from this. It's like threatening Sally Yates on Twitter-he's clueless how this reflects on him, or that trying to intimidate a witness is a crime. This will put Sessions and his new assistant Rosenstein on the hot seat-they will have to swear under oath and prove this was in the works and isn't a maneuver to obstruct justice.
Comey may not have known this was coming today (as evidenced by the fact that when he saw the news on TV before having been informed by the WH he thought it was a prank), but I'm betting he knew it was a possibility. He even answered questions at last weeks hearing on how the investigation would continue if a special prosecutor were appointed. He's been taking info to federal attorneys, and a grand jury. He's now probably going to be a little more open to revealing more in testimony if asked back to the Senate (he was to testify in open on Thurs, but now there are rumors he'll go in private). This is on the heels of the Senate Intelligence Committee sent a request to the Dept. Of Treasury today asking for info on Trumps finances. Just yesterday James Clapper acknowledging that Trump was named with Russians in intel given to the US back by European intelligence at the end of 2015.
There has been a March for Truth (protest for Trump Russia investigation) in the works for several weeks. Planned for June 3 in DC and in sister cities. This will push this event to be larger than it would have been otherwise. It will irk Trump, but it may help push some Republicans in congress to think about their support of Trump and getting caught up in his downfall.
Yes, ElaineB. I knew that when I shared info earlier. Does not mean that he was't preparing behind the scenes while all of this has been going on.
Thanks, Cindy. Very encouraging.
ElaineB,
Sen Chuck Schumer has called a meeting of Democratic Senators at 9:30am tomorrow.
Have not heard anything about Mitch McConnell calling a meeting and cannot find anything online. What is your source for MM calling a meeting tomorrow?
It is the Dems only.
And Schumer called the meeting.
Before I went to bed last night I ask how can you predict the future on a person such as Trump, who is all over the place such as impulse, etc. So I slept on it. Trump diffidently follows a pattern that don't always seem clear.
1/ Investigations and issues comes up.
2/ Trump reacts through twitter and other media
3/ Trump does something hasty.
4/ Now Trump has to distract from this, once ago.
Lora,
I mention a dream I had Trump/Russia/Golf Course under dreams. He is gloating how he got away with things and he do have papers hidden in plain sight. I was shown the papers, and he even pointed to the words, but I could not see what was written. I don't believe they are his taxes.
Another shocker, one day after firing Comey, Trump and Tillerson is meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov behind close doors in the Oval Office.
