3. Doesn't mean he won't try.

4. After Mueller said he's going to go after the family money Red Don is at war, seeing the KGOP leader

9. Donnie needs to see the sunny side. Mueller may be able to invalidate

Donnie's debt to Putin. Huge windfall for Donnie, and his credit score could take such a high leap that US banks might compete for his credit business. Confess all to Mueller and maybe Congress lets you stay as prez.

to decide.

8. Wasn't he appointed because cox had moved on to a diff job?
