Act 4: Many Months Pass and the Lunatic Learns About Some of the Intrigue Surrounding Him

Playing the Bork role in the incipient Saturday Night Massacre?
Why do we care what Happy Hogan thinks?

The only thing I can say is likely at this point is Rosenstein resigns/gets canned. Beyond that it could go in several different directions:
1) Francisco steps in and supervises Mueller's investigation to its conclusion
2) After Rosenstein goes, an attempt is made to bring the Mueller investigation to an end (someone presumably does play the Bork role in this scenario)
My understanding is that Francisco is next in the chain of command. However, I believe the President can name any DoJ official who has been confirmed by Congress as the acting Deputy AG. So there is a possibility that Francisco gets bypassed, in which case he will remain a minor character in our drama. However, I think more likely the chain of command is adhered to and Francisco gets his moment under the bright lights.

If the speculation is correct and Sessions is gone after midterms, whoever sits in the deputy chairs may be less important.
That said, if there are resignations/firings, they’re likely to be closely scrutinized starting in January 2019.

JMO, but I think the Mueller probe has now reached a critical mass such that administrative action is not going to be enough to stop it easily. I wouldn’t be entirely surprised to see an effort to do it in the lame duck session after midterms, but that’s pretty much the last shot.

Not really sure what you’re asking.

I'm asking you what youre predicting the outcome of the Mueller probe, and when we can expect this soap to be over?

No worthwhile guess and no worthwhile guess. I assume with Manafort’s cooperation, the timeline might have gotten a tad longer and the chance of more indictments more significant. In that I don’t know, I’d as soon not guess. Not that guessing and being utterly wrong stops, well, other folks.
Zero tolerance for what, exactly?
Name one other detention system on planet earth which has special inbuilt provisions for the detainment of families.
There's no demonstrable upside? Heh, ok.
Implementation flaws specifically relating to standard of care for infants.
A tactic that's open to reasonable, fact-based criticism.
Stands to reason that we should deport more expeditiously it would seem.
Inaccurate.
I'm happy - but then again I'm not locked into a semi-perm fetus state, shuddering at every mention of a Russian conspiracy and/or 'predatory' behavior.
Capitalism is unsatisfying.
Even when you misconstrue my words, I end up being right (according to you, that is).
Stick to not talking about Korea.
As opposed to being ... you know, RACISTS.
I'm still waiting.
The year 2017.
Fair enough. That I don't expect to change.

This right here is why I consider the war on drugs to be the holocaust in slow motion. You want to say we are a nation of laws and people voted for certain drugs to be illegal, fine. What is not acceptable imo is that we bully other nations into adopting our drug policy. 30,000+ people will be murdered in Mexico because of our drug war we fprces on them in 2006. Over 100k already dead. Then we tell people trying to leave the hell hole we created that they are criminals.
We are quickly approaching the point where deaths from the war on drugs will surpass the holocaust. I hope yall are proud.

Yes, he was laughed at and by association so was the country. But they weren't laughing at the rest of his speech, which was quite frankly, chilling in its defiant opposition to everything America is supposed to stand for.
Trump isn't a Hitler? Yeah, right.

The vice unit that arrested Stormy Daniels is being investigated by the FBI. This might be another criminal police unit. Also looking into a killing of a prostitute by this unit.

from WSJ:
Donald Trump “personally directed” a legal effort to prevent Stormy Daniels from publicly disclosing lewd details of their alleged affair, The Wall Street Journal reports. The
newspaper says the president told his then-lawyer Michael Cohen to seek a restraining order against the adult-film star in February through a confidential arbitration proceeding.
Trump and Cohen had reportedly become aware that Daniels was considering giving a media interview about her alleged relationship with the then-real-estate mogul, despite
having signed a 2016 nondisclosure agreement. Trump told Cohen to coordinate the legal response with Eric Trump, who then entrusted a Trump Organization staff attorney with
signing off on the arbitration paperwork. It hasn’t been previously reported that Trump had direct involvement in the effort to silence Daniels.
