According to Claude Taylor.
"While many people suspect that Donald Trump could be a subject/target of a grand jury investigation, according to Claude Taylor, a former White House staffer for Clinton, Trump has officially been delivered a sealed target letter that informs him that he is deemed to be a target or subject of a grand jury investigation."

Is this going to happen or is it just my fantasy?

(12,344 posts)but if had already happened, Trump probably would hit the ceiling and he"d either tweet out in anger, or yell at his staff, one of whom will leak it to the press.

this would all be rather quick for an indictment.

(39,171 posts)Claude Taylor was a low level staffer in the Clinton's volunteer office. There is no reason to believe he has any special sources or insights.

(115,661 posts)Taylor and Mensch make shit up to get hits on their blogs (and donations to support their "journalism" . If this were real it would be on the front page of the Washington Post.

(35,296 posts)and the source is uncorroborated independently and is anonymous, let those critical thinking skills rule. If it's too good to be true, it probably is. Even if it does bring in followers and boost revenues (or ego) for the leaker.
Even a lot of "multiple sources" rumors and leaks don't always pass the sniff test: "Three people were in the room, and here's what 5 people say two of those three were talking about." Really? It's a for-sure thing that those 5 people are all echoing one source and don't count as "multiple sources."

(28,979 posts)Some stuff he says comes true. And he says he's a former Clinton staffer.
I say, who ya gonna trust these days?

(146,284 posts)That's your first clue. This is an old claim, and is almost certainly not true. If it were true, it would have been widely reported by other media outlets, not just by someone with no credentials of any consequence. The story relies on unnamed "sources," as do all stories from Taylor and his pal, Louise Mensch. It has not been corroborated by any other news media outlets.
I'd put the probability of its being correct at about 1%.
