Would it be reasonable to think of the possibility that Mr. Mueller has Sealed Indictments of Every Single Major Player, say guys like Sessions, Kushner, Drumpf Jr, Priebus, Pence, etc., and he has let it be known that if he is removed, they would All be Unsealed?
How likely is it that there are sealed indictments against everyone I mentioned, and others. Could it just be a couple of key people from that list, enough to give Drumpf pause to do a thing. How confidential are sealed indictments? Is Mr. Mueller allowed to even relay their existence to Drumpf's counsel? Obviously it's something that could never be allowed to leak, under any circumstance.
And another question, could those people all be arrested immediately, including someone in a high office like Pence or Sessions? The so-called "frog march" everyone hoped for with Rover.

(58,783 posts)Most of the public evidence points to the idea that the corruption and probable criminality runs deep through the entire administration, and through much of the Repub party, which continues to carry water for them. Certainly Nunes is at risk of more than just being ousted by voters in November.
You can almost feel the desperation much of the Repub party is operating under these days. Mueller could have revealed that he had indictments pending during his meeting with WH lawyers, remember how the Manafort indictment was revealed weeks before it was actually issued.
I would love if there was a "data dump" should Trump succeed in firing Mueller.

(18,647 posts)I don't have any idea how reliable that info is but I hear that it is likely that a pack of sealed indictments would be opened if Trump fires Mueller.
It is an incentive for the people around Trump to prevent him from acting rashly and firing Mueller because if Trump does they will all be in a heap of trouble that could overrun their lives and leave them broke and/or in jail.
I personally think it's pretty likely that Trump will do this and cause the indictments to be opened.
His lawyers keep lying to him by telling him to wait just a little longer because it will all be over soon.
At some point he will get frustrated and decide to speed things up himself then all hell will break loose.
It could be that a passel of Republican leaders could be caught up in the mess leaving a large chaotic vacuum in government.
(Or at least a different kind of chaotic vacuum from the one we have today.)
