Slow down. If Mueller has had this and isn't using it yet...

It means this is only one piece of the puzzle needed to fully lock Trump and his circle up. This is not a 60 minute Law & Order episode but a full length picture.

Mueller is smart enough to know when to strike and instead of dripping the case out, he hits them all in a bow wrapped package. I fear slightly that we need to make sure digging into this BuzzFeed story doesn't somehow screw with the Mueller master plan.

This is an entire epic series, now in it's fourth season, and we still don't know who will sit on The Iron Throne.

and wait until February for everything to come out.

Now if Trump were smart, he would go ahead and resign and let Pence take over so Pence can pick the new VP. Otherwise, if Trump stands his ground he and Pence will be walking out together.

They are both going out somehow, now it is all about the timing and replacement.

If Pence is facing charges when Trump’s kicked out, then what?

Spiro T. back in the day, he was convinced to resign upon indictment IIRC. Listen to Bagman, that podcast that Rachel Maddow produced, tells the whole story. Agnew had to resign and they made sure it happened before Watergate came to it's peak situation so that he wouldn't become president. The same will likely take place with Pence. At least thta's what I hope.

The really good thing about all this is that we still have a lot of the key actors in the Nixon case advising the current SC. It's a lot like that with the Pence case but the rest is totally uncharted territory.
