I think trump is toast. I do.

Special counsel Robert Mueller's team is asking witnesses pointed questions about whether Donald Trump was aware that Democratic emails had been stolen before that was publicly known, and whether he was involved in their strategic release, according to multiple people familiar with the probe.

Mueller's investigators have asked witnesses whether Trump was aware of plans for WikiLeaks to publish the emails. They have also asked about the relationship between GOP operative Roger Stone and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, and why Trump took policy positions favorable to Russia.

The line of questioning suggests the special counsel, who is tasked with examining whether there was collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 election, is looking into possible coordination between WikiLeaks and Trump associates in disseminating the emails, which U.S. intelligence officials say were stolen by Russia.

Trump has repeatedly denied any collusion and has described the special counsel's investigation as "illegal" and a "witch hunt."

4. As inept as these criminals are, they left an easy trail to follow

How did they think they would get away with this?

8. Because of the universal truth and reality of the IOKIYAR statute?

Trump likely will 'get away it' in terms of not getting impeached or prosecuted, lets not kid ourselves.

We'll be lucky to get as high as Jared or Jr, likely have to settle for Manafort ...

Though we might get Trumps ass on money laundering via state charges come 2020 when he loses and goes home.
