Nice list, lol.

It reminds me of the Clinton kill list.

Mueller should be fired if he thinks he can just investigate anything he wants. He does not have a blank check to go wherever he wants looking for something to justify the existence of his job. Get ready to get his leash pulled or his finances pulled.

Not that you're interested however for those that are interested: at the link provided, details on each scenario are clarified by an additional link.

Although as the well known axiom goes, 'those who believe without reason cannot be convinced by reason.'

We're having too much fun getting ready to watch the 'Trial Of The Century'!

Oh, Trump minions.

Dare to dream.

Yes, he does have a blank check. Trump's financials are a key component of his money laundering/Russian dealings and Mueller has every right to investigate them. These investigations tend to uncover a lot of dirt that weren't originally public knowledge. Clinton's investigation started with Whitewater over real estate dealings and ended up with the Lewinsky scandal.

Don't forget, New York is investigating Trump for money laundering and racketeering and will likely take all of Trump's assets.

Every little piece of dirt and criminal action Trump has ever engaged in will be uncovered. Can't wait!

All you have to do is look at the very first item, Mar-A-Lago and see that the article neglects to mention that the initiation fee was $200,000 before being reduced to $100,000 when there was a drop off in many ultra high-end clubs that went with the recession and stock market crash. Guess what, the stock market and luxury spending has come back. It only makes sense that the fee would return back to $200,000. The fact that this is completely ignored by the authors of that article pretty much shows what their objective is.

Here we go, folks! Manafort owed over $17,000,000.00 to Russian businesses, "the eighth man" in the Don Jr meeting last year is linked to a money laundering investigation, and now Trump himself has business ties to a bank accused of money laundering.

I sure hope all the obnoxious, arrogant Trump supporters that kept screaming "there are no ties to Russia" stick around after this thing blows up in Trump's face. But they will probably just log off of City-Data for a while and refuse to eat crow.

Trump is already giving hints that he is thinking of firing Moeller, using the excuse that Moeller is exceeding the scope of what he was put in there to do. Trump is getting nervous and figures that, by getting rid of Moeller, this will stop any further examination of his corruption.

If we let Trump get away with firing Moeller, America will be no better than some foreign Dictatorship. A Dictator can fire or kill anyone he disagrees with, but that can never happen here, unless we allow it to happen. If we thought the Nixon mess was bad, it pales by comparison to what is going on in DC right now.

This is going to get very ugly as this unfolds.
I think he will find someone who will fire Mueller. Sessions is recused and rosenstein says he will not, so we have another Saturday night massacre on our hands.

What I have no faith at all in is that the GOP will do anything even if this happens. I was at a town hall with my D congressman and he looked absolutely horrified at the idea trump would do this. But I have no faith in this complicit GOP.
