If the WH told Nunes and House Intel Comm. to shut down, what does that mean?

[skip fox]

I can only imagine it precedes a bold move by Trump, likely trying to shut down Muller's investigation.

Logic:

For Nunes and House Intel. Republicans to risk more evidence of collusion to obstruct justice, something big must be at stake.

For Trump to risk another incident of attempted obstruction, something big is at stake.

Therefore, something is coming soon that Trump will want to prevent or defuse or . . .

Now is the time to play the Trump card: he'll claim that since The House Intelligence Committee found no evidence collusion, Mueller's investigation is now exposed as a witch hunt conducted by his enemies and enemies of the United States, and shut Mueller down one way or another.

In broad stokes, that's what I think is coming.


What do you think?

1. Orders from Moscow.

2. sessions must fired, a hack put in place to fire rubinstein, a hack put in place to fire

mueller.....then we have a constitutional crisis

and its very probable...hopefully all the state attorney generals in blue states with trump properties all begin their investigation using mueller's info on russian money laundering

trump can't pardon state crimes and prison sentences.

3. Trump may be preparing for war. That's my opinion.

Firing his secretary of state, Tillerson.

This may have to do with North Korea or Iran and war.

Trump is just the worst. He is full of hate. Listen to him when he holds rallies. It's diabolical.

How can so-called Christians fall for this guy?

11. Wars cost money. We're already in trouble with the debt caused by the "Tax Reform"

More debt would mean bad news for the economy, and interest rates rising, since financing the war would be the country's priority.

4. It means they don't have to keep acting like the old US Govt did.

The coup is more secure & they can all stop pretending now to just keep the public from anarchy .
Pres Putin is nearing completion

5. Not a damned thing. We all know they're worthless lackeys. Time to change the guard.

6. Trump is guilty ...

7. Too much cap hitting the fan not to think MUCH MORE is soon to come!

Week's end?

8. OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.

9. I honestly don't think idiot Trump is self-aware or deep enough to concern himself with charges...

I honestly don't think idiot Trump is self-aware or deep enough to concern himself with charges of obstruction of justice or collusion (read Fire & Fury by M. Wolff for why). He's too simple-minded to have some sinister Machiavellian master-plan.

He's an incompetent idiot who lacks discipline and who fires from the hip whenever and wherever the feeling takes him. I think we (the media, the American people who follow politics, analysts, etc) are kidding ourselves looking for patterns, signs and portents that simply are not there. We're investing into him an ability to think critically and rationally, and to have enough relevant knowledge of DC politics to make shrewd decisions.

I think we're incorrectly assigning a depth of mind to an idiot who's in free-fall from an airplane (he has a parachute, but is too half-witted to use it) and is simply yelling "Look at me!!! I can fly!!!" in the moments leading up to his splat.

10. Point taken.

But even if irrational, his reaction to events might provide an indication of future actions/reactions, right?

I worked in mental institutions in my youth, and a patient would often begin acting out in small ways that increased as he or she became increasingly upset (often regardless of stimulus).

So, if Trump's actions have become unceasingly chaotic, might not that provide a window into his emotion state, his building agitation? Might that not have a predictive value?
