Reince Preibus interviewed by Trump-Russia Investigators Today

[Skroe]

It has happened.

Reince Preibus, Donald Trump's former Chief of Staff, who was holding that position during both the Comey firing (and Trump's subsequent explanation spree) and during the Trump Jr. (aka Fredo Trump) Russia Meeting failed cover-up, was interviewed today by Mueller's team.

When was the last time a President's Chief of Staff was interviewed by a Special Counsel or the FBI as part of an ongoing investigation?

The ex-Chief of Staff. The ex-National Security Adviser. The ex-Campaign Chairman.

Mueller team is circling around the highest level of Trumpland. The people who helped him get elected. The only people more senior that could be interviewed would be the Attorney General himself, the Vice President, and our dear deplorable President.

There is still a long way to go. But for an investigation that started in the spring and has been slowly, but inexorably, working its way up the ladder, today is a big step forward to them making decisions on what they are going to pursue.

What are they looking at? Obstruction of Justice namely, of course.

Tick tock tick tick Trumpkins. We're taking your President from you.

Happy Friday the 13th!

I thought they were looking for Russian collusion?

They were and still are, but thanks to Ken Starr the scope of special counsel investigations can be broad as fuck and end up nailing someone for related, and completely unrelated crimes.

Eh, I don't think you guys are going to like how this one ends.

Washington's most significant truism came out of Watergate: it's the cover-up, not the crime. Nixon went down for the cover-up. That's easier to prove.

Trump will go down for Obstruction. That's why the investigation also wants to talk to McGahn and Hope Hicks. His lackeys will go down for collusion. And he'll be fighting a legal battle for the rest of his crap life.

I do. Mueller's team would not be arriving now at the ex-Chief of Staff, unless he had good cause to.

We're winning.

You forget, most Trumpkins are going to tell themselves (in their own head) that the chief of staff being interviewed about collusion is no big deal.

When in reality, it means a whole lot, that he has VERY GOOD REASON to believe something occurred.

Once Mueller comes forward, I hope Republicans will release the Kraken and give Trump an ass whooping that mirrors Weinsteins dropped-like-a hot-potatoe downfall.

Maybe Trumpkins won't get a second term for their Dark Lord. Maybe they get Eminem narrating the audiobook of the Stephen King novel, Donald Trump: The Dungeon Years.

Doubtful, many will likely be to busy trying to separate themselves from the dumpster fire and protecting the Republican party brand. It's going to get very, very messy if it ends up going down that path.

Republicans seem like they have a bad case of whiplash from the wreck Trump's presidency has been so far. It will be quite interesting to see what they can salvage from the situation.. if anything at all.

There's nothing worth saving.

Since the end of January, the Republican party is being shooed around by the Cheeto Chainsaw Massacre. So when Bobby Three Sticks starts singing the Jailhouse Rock from the rooftops of D.C., they will remain quiet ?

We do not know how Mueller will word his observations, what his verdict will be, but the Republican party has to protect itself from the taint that is future Trump.

[Breccia]

I thought they were looking for Russian collusion?

They are. But they're also looking at any related crime, such as, obstruction of justice by blocking the investigation into Russian collusion.

Yes, you can obstruct justice by blocking law enforcement in a case in which you're innocent. That's still a crime.

[Mormolyce]

I thought they were looking for Russian collusion?

They're after collusion or obstruction of justice. And they're following the usual pattern of criminal prosecution - corner the small fish and put their balls in a vice until they give you something on the higher-ups.

I imagine there will be charges recommended against multiple individuals.

Trump wrecking the Republican party would probably make him the best president forever in the long run. IF the Americans don't come up with something more vile and retarded, that is.

The fact that Trump is even President at all suggests this is probably the most likely outcome, unfortunately.

Perhaps the frozen head of Hitler or the personification of Pestilence

Bannon's working on replacing the Republican lineup with more of his "faction". Might result in a split, and the US winds up with an actual third party for all the racists like most other countries have.
