1. I wanna hear some tick-tock from Seth!

Isn't anyone getting hints of indictments? It's Friday!

4. I think Don Jr is playing the media

with the hints that he thinks he is being arrested and/or indicted.

Why:

1) Roger Stone has been saying almost all year that he's going to be indicted "any day now" - still hasn't happened. And, if Mueller just asked for Stone related visitor logs at Trump Tower, it's not going to happen any time soon. They'd need to analyze the results and compare timelines with other shady figures involved.

2) Don Jr is a pathological liar like his father

3) This serves the needs of the Trump Crime Family in two ways: (a) if the indictment does not happen, Trump and Trump Jr can call out the media for reporting "fake news" on imminent indictments that did not occur. Additionally, (b) if the indictments do not come when Team Trump says they will, it gives the public the impression that maybe there wasn't enough there to indict Don Jr or Roger Stone with and that continuing the investigation is just a fishing expedition by Mueller.

5. Trump Tower logs re: Stone were a month ago

While the request for TT logs involving Stone was reported recently, it apparently happened over a month ago.

3. Hopefully Mueller on top on this
