Not gonna happen, Mitch. Manafort is headed for the sneezer, and Cohen is about to flip.

After Mueller exposes the rest of the collusion that we have not already seen, I just hope that people (Democrats?) use video clips of these co-conspirators advocating for ending the investigation to remind the voters. The frightening alternative scenario is that Mueller and half the FBI get thrown in jail and the report never gets issued. It can happen here.

Going a step further than he has before, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday that itâs time to âwrap upâ Special Counsel Robert Muellerâs probe, falling into lockstep with Vice President Mike Pence and House Speaker Paul Ryan,
One tiny step for turtles, a great step for turtle kind.
Completely unsurprising.

Hmmm. Paul to the pen; Cohen about to croon. Methinks there might be some more there there, Mitch.

Functionally itâs 100% of congress. Ryan and McConnell control everything.
Even if Mueller proceeds, the House has to vote on articles of impeachment (no way Ryan allows the vote); the Senate conducts the trial (Ha! with McConnell holding the gavel).
Thereâs no way Ryan & McConnell lift a finger to help Mueller.
Worse that will happen is a scathing Op-Ed from George Will. Theyâd ignore and shrug their shoulders.

And then we all sit up and pay attention like Trump wants âhis peopleâ to do.

A good read, if only for a reminder about Americans and Laws, and the phrase âMr MuellerâsâŚinscrutable Easter Island face,â and âair tight team.â Part of whatâs going on here is Mitch and Trump know that Muellerâs strategy is total silence and he wonât respond directly to accusations about him or his investigation, so they are free to opine anyway they like.

No one has his back except his team. The federal judiciary between Mueller and SCOTUS, maybe. But Mueller has what he has and if he gets fired before November, one way or another, it all comes pouring out. And firing Mueller doesnât end the investigation. Trump has to nerve himself up to face a Saturday night massacre to shut down the investigation and nothing triggers his capacity for self-delusion more than his cowardice.

Mitch: some words of wisdom:
I got a feeling
That you could be feeling
A whole lot better then you feel today
You say you got a problem
Well thatâs no problem
Itâs super easy not to feel that way
When you start to get confused
Because of thoughts in your head
Donât feel those feelings!
Hold them in instead
Turn it off, like a light switch
Just go click!
Itâs a cool little Mormon trick!
We do it all the time
When youâre feeling certain feelings
That just donât seem right
Treat those pesky feelings
Like a reading light
And turn 'em off
Like a light switch, just go BAP!
Really, whats so hard about that?
Turn it off!
America isnât heading into facism, it is here already and Americans need to understand that its time to get ready for war. We are on the cusp of a really horrible time in America and we can thank the republican party and fox news for allowing criminality to go unpunished. I always thought Pelosiâs idea of not going after Bush and Obamaâs reluctance to go after the crooked banks and investment houses was a big giant mistake and now here we areâŚa country run by lawlessness. There will be blood, pain and as sad as it sounds, we might actually disappear as a democracy unless we start now and fight back.

LEST WE FORGET.
The impeachment report that Kenneth Starr delivered to the House in September 1998 was the product of only one of many lines of inquiry the independent counsel pursued in more than four years of probing the President Clinton.
Originally appointed Aug. 5, 1994 to investigate a failed Arkansas real estate deal involving the Clintons almost 20 years ago, Starrâs scope expanded over time to include a bewildering range of accusations of fraud, obstruction of justice and abuse of power allegedly involving President Clinton and the first lady, as well as some of their closest friends and advisers.
JUST COULDNâT RAP IT UP?
