Good news is, if she's wrong at this level, we really, really won't have to listen to her any more. Or maybe I've just been a masochist this whole time.
The U.S. Marshals Service presented a plan to a senior Justice Department official yesterday for the service of warrants in the Trump-Russia inquiry, separate sources with links to the intelligence and law enforcement communities report.
The extensive plan was approved yesterday by a senior Justice Department official who is closely involved in prosecuting the case.
Sources say that the extensive plan, multiple pages in length, covered not only the serving of warrants, but logistical arrangements such as the closure of streets, if necessary.
They further report that while timing is uncertain, such plans are normally only presented and approved when arrests are imminent.
Patribotics knows the identity of the senior justice official who approved the plan, and the court in which it was approved. We are redacting that information for now.
More on this story as it develops.

Who knows?

(60,010 posts)perhaps on a highly public person, you would not want crowds of gawkers pouring to get a peek.
Altho....some of the bad guys, like Stone, have, and read, Twitter, so dunno if he will stick around if there is a warrant on him.

Assange might be getting lonely at the Ecuador embassy ...
Can you imagine being stuck with Bannon as a roommate? I think I'd turn myself in.

(10,123 posts)Whatever evidence and people they're going after, recused Sessions is likely already aware ... which may well be what led to Comey's firing ... and is likely to tip them off.
I have read Trump has been moving his money to offshore places that will be tougher for them to get at. So they're probably already in hunker down mode. He may well go on this upcoming trip and not come back.
Who knows?

(3,335 posts)so I don't care where it is. Though since one of the charges might be a RICO charge, I've been hearing that there is the probability of asset forfeitures as well as prison time. One can only hope.

I know where I'd put my money.

(901 posts)over intelligence to Putin? Trump is dangerous! Where are the GOP patriots? They think they're going to ram through tax cuts for the wealthy so keep tRump in the White House, but at what price?

All we'll get from MSM is photo ops from Trump's World Tour.
Honestly, after the 24/7 love fest promo for Candidate Trump throughout the campaign, I'll look for sources to news elsewhere than our American Media.
Thanks for this post yodermon

(678 posts)Mensch & Claude Taylor etc often have reported the same news as WaPo , often before WaPo runs the story.
Their sources report from outside US media regs.
Their sources are gathered from "FiveEyes".
WaPo is a great news source. One I also choose to follow.
However if one relies on MSM for their news source, considering their role in creating this fiacso, its really not a stretch to understand why some choose to look elsewhere.
Faith in fair reporting was lost in campaign 2016.

(66 posts)If you don't want to listen to her AGAIN, why post in the first place???
Is this a new angle to DISINFORMATION?
The wuss factor is strong in this one.
DefenseLawyer
(11,101 posts)Other than issuing arrest warrants, the court would not be involved in "approving" such a logistical plan. But, hey, I guess it will play out one way or another.

(2,050 posts)B. Just the mention of her name brings out the trolls, helps you to identify them.
Wouldn't you think?.
Comrade Donald
(66 posts)I had a post up about disinformation and distraction coming from Louise trolls. It was shut down quickly for being 'divisive'.
I saw a thread with 350 posts going back and forth between pro and anti Louise posters.

(9,213 posts)Remember he's a scammer....I can only imagine he made a deal with the Repubes, to time the arrest warrants for when he's out of the country so he can just stay on a permanent vacation and avoid jail time, and then he will relinquish control to them while he is gone.

(29,706 posts)I can see Sessions squashing this to the ground. Unless he is part of the warrant and then it would go to Deputy AG ?
