Not directly no, although the source is usually reliable, but you know what searching through twitter is like... that said, it sort of has been released to the press, because Mullers team have said on record that they expect to wrap up the investigative phase 'soon'...
Ditto! I've heard it reported that Mullers team have enough to indict and/or arrest Donald Trump Jnr just based on what they have already, and what's in public record. I would rather think he'd flip like a coin if offered a deal.. since he's committed perjury in front of congress, which is a capital offence. [i.e carries a very long sentence].
and god alone knows what they have Trump himself. But at minimum tax fraud for certain and hey, if it was good enough for Capone..
I'd much rather see them snag father than son, *if* I had to choose, because if they take Jr. in on charges without taking Dad in on something he's going to lose it and like, blow up North Korea or declare war on Mexico or open actual death camps in Texas for whichever group he hates the most at that minute (let me guess: the immigrants) to distract from his family's problems and/or just for spite. He's just...I don't think we'll like the so-called "pivoting" he does on that, whatever it turns out to be.
At best he hits his head on something between now and then. It re-arranges enough brain cells to make him finally realize he should just resign before he does the country or world anymore harm out of his need to distract and/or act out from pure irrational spite, but short of that, if they touch his dear, precious children the rest of us are probably screwed bigly unless he goes and gets locked up, too.
/end worst-case scenario, which still scares the crap out of me
Actually, I think if they go after Junior, Father Trump will dump him as fast as he's dumped everyone else.
He *says* his family is sacrosanct but I think to save himself he'll throw anybody to the wolves.
Get your track shoes on Junior because Daddy's going to toss you to the pack if he gets a chance. Don't worry too much, Junior - they prefer to get your Dad. You're kinda scrawny but your Dad is well marbled.
I read an article waaaaay back (that I really need to find and link to from my DW one of these days) on how he didn't just commit whatever crimes he's committed, he single-handedly changed election politics in the US starting around 10 years ago and not for the better. The article detailed what he's done at some length and all I can say is, wow, that was a lot of harm for one person to do.
Him, the Koch brothers and a small cabal of 'like minded' billionaires.
Hmm... you want to bet that the first order of business for a democrat controlled government, is going to be some pretty heavy duty election reform. Probably modelled after the 'spending' bill that's going though the house right now. Which hasn't a hope in hell of passing the Senate or the White House, but serves as warning shot across the GoP's bows nonetheless.
I'd much rather see them add a pledge to it to get Nancy Pelosi and Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and all our other Congress people off the phone banks for the next four years so they can actually do their jobs instead of just trying to get re-elected. Until they can add that to their pledge I'll fail to be too impressed, since undoing all the corruption inherent in politics is probably going to take them a lot longer than simply getting them off those phone banks.
Current campaign finance laws blow monkey chunks, forgive my French. I don't know if either party or else just the Ds in particular get this, but campaign finance laws are at the root of most of the corruption that follows, and I bet other people see it that way, too.

One of Muller's staff tweeted back "Not for much longer..."
That gold toilet of his is probably getting plenty of use about now.
