Chindie Posted March 22, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 22, 2019 Seth Abramson is going to do a 1500 tweet thread about how the report isn't a massive anticlimax, and how it ties together a million other tweet threads of more silver bullets than rounds fired in World War One. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) My prediction is that there will be nothing concrete on Trump himself but some of his inner circle (Kushner, Trump Jr etc) could be in hot water. Edit: Looks like not even that... Edited March 22, 2019 by LondonLax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopped following that guy aged ago. Just a constant barrage of almost QAnon level type tweets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to mock his style. I think he's probably fundamentally right about most things - Trump is dodgy and a lot of things around him are shifty as ****. But I can't bear his style. He has a horrific habit of making out every, single, tiny thing into part of the wider web of a million other things he's gone on about and each one of those things is the silver bullet that puts Trump down. And then writing a hundred tweets about it. You kinda feel like he'd go mental over Trump's second cousin twice removed once buying a sandwich in a shop next door to a Russian restaurant. When ultimately not everything is going to be important. I think his heart is in the right place but he's got a very over excitable manner and a medium very unsuited to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 So 1 day after the Mueller report landed ISIS was declared defeated. I'm guessing the US media's "24 hour news" thing is more than just the running time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 `My prediction: The report is crippling for Trump. He'll resign the office with full immunity. New York state will be the vehicle that brings justice to him and his inner circle. President Pence for the next 2 years and a Dem blowout in 2020. Trump will go to prison, it's just a matter of when and for how long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I predict nothing major will come of this and Trump will be re-elected in 2020 because the US of A will rather have him than a woman, a mooslim, a latino or a commie as president. Surprise me America. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted March 24, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 24, 2019 My prediction - nothing happens. Trump will not be going to prison. Your absolute best hope is that the report is damaging enough to people and organisations close enough to Trump that he is pressured to stand down, and even that is a helluva stretch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serving Presidents can't go to prison can they? I imagine there will be evidence of collusion, more in terms of them being manipulated, rather than doing the manipulating - at least in terms of the amount of proof needed to prosecute. A sort of wilful naivety and ignorance of the law, rather than all out clear cut consciously breaking the law they knew to be in place. Low level effwittery. Probably also stuff outside the bounds of his remit to pursue may get passed on to state prosecutors - I mean it seems like about half of his associated are crooks of one sort or another. You'd assume all the digging around would turn up plenty of stuff to go at. Maybe enough will come out to stop the Republican senators and representatives being so blindly supportive of him - if he becomes a liability with voters, then perhaps more normality will return?

Rodders Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 yeah **** all will happen. Teflon Don will carry on being repugnantly corrupt, nasty, racist, offensive etc and his shit-for-brains supporters will lap him up. Trump will get 4 more years because America IS that **** messed up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not conspiracy, as I said above “...them being manipulated, rather than doing the manipulating - at least in terms of the amount of proof needed to prosecute. A sort of wilful naivety and ignorance of the law, rather than all out clear cut consciously breaking the law they knew to be in place. Low level effwittery” We already all but know there’s been collusion (which isn’t a crime). The meeting between Trump junior and and the Russian in trump tower to get dirt on Clinton... there’s loads of stuff out there already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to have been built up as so much more, in what I see reported from the US media. Specifically, acting in concert with the Russian state to undermine the democratic process. Big claim.

peterms Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I see this has just come out. Quote US attorney general William Barr has handed a summary of the special counsel’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 election to members of Congress, revealing that Mueller found no “Trump campaign official or associate conspired or knowingly co-ordinated” with Russian operatives during the 2016 campaign.
