I'm begging you, Mr. Mueller, please indict

There is no doubt, just using public information, that Mueller and his team can indict Donald Trump Jr. and Jared Kushner.

The June 9 meeting in 2016 creates probable cause. Add to that the known information concerning the denial letter written on Air Force One, and Donnie Jr. has an indictment. Jared has the June meeting and scores of business meetings for personal financial gain from the election to, well, today, using his government status for leverage. That's what I know, just through press accounts. One can only imagine what Bob Mueller has.

Come on. The people's political will is starting to wane. I know this is a criminal investigation, but politics stills plays a role.

I have seen two references to a long established DOJ policy that the President may not be indicted. This week a former DOJ lawyer said that the DOJ reasoning is that it would be unconstitutional for them to do that. I guess their view is that impeachment and removal is the only permissible remedy.

will happen until January, after a new congress is sworn in. A corrupt as the republikkklans are in congress they would never vote to remove him, even if he cooked and ate an infant on the public square. They would even rationalize that by blaming Clinton.
