Trump Update

What’s coming?

1. Hope Hicks. She is likely talking with Mueller’s team right now. If I had to predict, I think she will be charged with obstruction of justice for lying to the FBI, and conspiracy against the United States of America, or as an accessory after the fact to this charge, for participating in the development of the cover story for the June, 2016 meeting between Kushner, Manafort, Trump Jr., and the Russians. She was Trump’s confidant during this entire period of time, and may be able to link Trump to the June meeting. She likely has many other shocking tidbits to reveal.

2. Firings. Expect a few members of Mueller’s team to be fired by Sessions for various reasons – they will all be blamed for being Clinton stooges. They can’t fire Mueller himself, but they can whittle down his bench strength.

3. Sessions. He will resign soon. He should have resigned months ago.

4. A Second Special Prosecutor. Another one will be appointed to investigate the Clintons, their foundation, the Uranium One scandal, her e-mails, etc., in order to try to deflect from the Mueller investigation. There is much for the Clintons to answer for…but this person will be authorized to look into the activities of Obama’s White House as well.

5. Trump’s Lawyers. It is slowly occurring to Trump that he is losing “the lawyer battle”. His normal response to situations like this is to just fire people. You will see a change in his personal legal advisors, with one or two going and three or four joining.

6. Other Diversions. Trump will try to change the content of the news cycle. Will it be North Korea, Euro-bashing, NAFTA lies, baiting sports figures? We shall see.

7. Fox News. We will learn that the White House and Fox News have been collaborating on stories, with Fox News perhaps even getting talking points from Trump’s team.

  1. You were right! Dowd resigned, and another lawyer was hired.

  2. Point 6 - Syria is back in the news... but why? Surely it can't have gotten any worse there in the last 3 days than it has been for the last 7 years... but it has gotten worse in Washington in the last 3 days. Weird, that.
