Nah, on second thought, not after Trump cancelling raises for Federal employees. Hours before showering the wealthy with some new transfer of wealth.

I think the anticipation for the Friday before Labor Day may be misplaced. It's not clear that the DOJ custom of not issuing indictments between Labor Day and an election would apply in this case: Trump is not participating in this election.

And just how well would a prosecutor respond to the argument that Trump is too involved, because he needs a Republican Congress to continue to obstruct justice on his behalf?

And it is just a custom. Witness Comey's intervention against Clinton in the final few days of the 2016 campaign. Mueller would need Rosey to take one final stand.

And aside from the legal consequences for Trump, imagine even the Republicans trying to confirm a Supreme Court Justice transparently chosen to side with Trump, after Mueller declares him guilty? Kavanaugh may quietly disappear from view if Mueller proceeds against Trump soon enough.

Ya know, RL, I remain optimistic. I never expected that expelling the Trump poison could happen overnight. The 2018 elections are the first real opportunity to hamstring that fascist, at a minimum; remove him at best. 538 gives the Blue Wave a 70% chance of taking the House.

America will win. We'll vomit up Trump and his followers and enablers soon enough.

And we'll have been reminded, in a thoroughly brutal way, of what we truly value. Maybe, a long time from now, we'll look back on these years as a necessary purgative that, in the end, made us better.
