    What's weird is that, if his project came to fruition, we would all have eventually figured out he lied. He'd have a building in Moscow with TRUMP in giant letters. Was he betting on being dead by then?

    Or becoming an expat in a foreign country that is extradite proof like ... I do not know ... say ... Russia.

    Anthony Cormier is an investigative reporter for BuzzFeed News and is based in New York. While working for the Tampa Bay Times, Cormier won the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting.

    “I am rock solid. My sourcing on this goes beyond the two that are on the record. This 100% happened,” reporter Anthony Cormier says about his bombshell BuzzFeed report that President Trump directed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about proposed Moscow project.

    “I am telling you our sourcing goes beyond the two that I was able to put on the record.” https://cnn.it/2R0mRu1

    Gotta feel like this is all coming to a head much sooner than later.

    Doubt it.

    Mueller still has too work his way through Corsi, Stone, Kushner and Don Jr.

    Things will get really crazy once the indictments on Kush and DJ start.

    Who knows what this wacko will do.

    He never expected to actually win, so I doubt he really cared at the time. He was using the run to just increase his exposure (TrumpTV, etc).

    This is the confusing part to me. There are lots of reports that he's wrapping things up and will be done within a few weeks, but it seems like there is so much more left out there unless leaks are now coming out about things that he discovered and wrapped up months ago.

    Contrary to what you might hear, the Mueller ship is pretty tight and I doubt they would ever leak anything about when they will be done. Why box yourself in, when you don't have too. My guess is the reports that he is almost done, are just flat out wrong.

    The biggest clues we have are the court filings, where he has asked for a six month extension on the grand jury and too not sentence Gates. Both of these actions indicate much more work to be done.

    I still find Seth Abramson to be the best source to comprehensively follow this. The guy has been right about EVERYTHING.

    Former federal prosecutor said that Trump has committed three felonies:

    1. Suborning perjury
    2. Obstruction of justice
    3. Conspiracy

    I think you're probably right, but I think it's frustrating as well. This is just one big powder keg waiting to blow up and it needs to get resolved sooner rather than later one way or another, for the good of the country. Spring/summer of this year probably needs to be the resolution - otherwise you potentially get into impeachment stuff in an election year, which is just a potential nightmare scenario for everyone. Or a Mueller update of some sort on the status of his investigation needs to be released to the public to calm things down in the interim - but this endless "what's going to happen and when?" stuff is not healthy for the country.

    I agree and it seems like some Democratic Senators are starting to get uneasy as well, now publicly calling for him to hurry up

    I disagree.

    Once Mueller gets to Kushner and Don Jr, we will be on the brink of a constitutional crisis, and things are going to get really really bad really quick. The Senate will do nothing, and people are going to revolt. We could see first hand our government collapse, once the breadth of how corrupt Trump is reaches the forefront, and when it becomes obvious that the Republicans are complicit.

    I'd almost prefer Trump is outed in an election, before the report is released, so the traitors on the right have no political influence in this criminal investigation. I can't believe I am writing that, but this is the world we live in. That seems so far away anyway, because (again, can't believe I am writing this), but its hard to see how the Government will open back up. The Democrats simply can't give in, Trump is too stupid and stubborn to realize what is going on, and McConnel is a coward.

    It's time to rid the country of the cancer that is this administration. Mueller knows more than anyone that every day this mistake remains in the White House the very fabric of our nation and the institutions of our government erode. I believed this from the day he was elected and we have witnessed the diminution of our nation firsthand.

    I expect Mueller's end game will be swift and brutally efficient. He knows that our mistake-in-chief will likely go scorched-earth tactics and Mueller will structure the terms to minimize the further damage to our nation. I would not be surprised that negotiations for the transfer of power are not undergoing (at some level) as we speak.

    Where are all the trumpanzees? I'm curious to see the pathetic ways in which they will try to downplay or deny this.

    1. Attack the source (buzzfeed)
    2. Attack the source (Cohen)
    3. Say it's just hearsay from "anonymous sources", still need hard evidence
    4. Say even if the story is true, it's "no big deal"
    5. If all else fails, change the subject back to Clinton's emails or something Obama did

    Add a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist to the list on the DEEP STATE. It's all a big conspiracy, Strangers around the world are part of this secret society that colluded to both elect- AND take down McDonald Trump.

    Meuller already had the physical and digital evidence (texts, emails, notes) before Cohen corroborated. Cohen was merely the color commentator.

    But Trump is on twitter today calling Cohen a liar. Thinking the entirety of the evidence is based on Cohen's testimony. Trump is obviously playing 4D Chess lol.

    Trump supporters following suit of their dotard-in-chief, also are playing 4D Chess.
