Have you heard the latest Twitter rumor? Grand Juries convene on Russia/Trump (From DK)

Now, it started with Claude, Washington insider that previously served on President Bill Clinton’s White House staff.




Everyone on my timeline was like, "YEAH FUCKIN RIGHT. We’ll believe it when we see it, Claude!"

But Claude wouldn’t backdown.




But then a new account confirmed the rumor.

Supposedly, one is a RICO case about money-laundering. The other is about foreign something-or-other. Violation of the Foreign (whatever) Act. (FARA) I'll post more if I can find it. Here it is:

The other will get Roger Stone.
I bet

Edited to say the first might get Montaford if it is about money laundering and the second one Flynn.

State charges are not federally pardonable.

A selling point of our federal system, if I have ever seen one -- a party may control both houses of Congress and the executive branch, but they're unlikely to control all the states.

There is really no telling what might be going on until it happens with grand juries. I would expect indictments of several people at the same time.

my money's on Roger Stone, Paul Manafort and Carter Page being named, if those grand juries return true bills; not Trump, not at this stage (remains to be seen if Trump's campaign staff/"advisors" take the fall, or if they roll over). Assuming of course there's anything to this "grand jury" thing.

And Sessions and maybe a few other congresspeople who took money from Russia in some form.

I bet a dozen Krispy Kremes that McConnell is indicted. And that will be good for America.
