1 What are the big secrets? Who will pay the price? How long can Trumpland delay the inevitable explosion of hidden information going public? Weeks after the release of Mueller’s redacted report, it’s clear that we are seeing only a fraction of Trump's long term treason.

2 Watch the behavior of Barr & Trump. It's quite unique. A frantic battle to hide a wide array of secrets & damaging info already known by investigators, judges & prosecutors. Normally a criminal like Trump can't hide, but his bogus title & corrupt AG, help drag out his demise.

3 One constant has been the public & Congress not knowing what the hell is going on. We've learned new info, but Mueller's report leaves huge blanks we don't know. Secrecy pervades, but it’s cracking. Keeping a lid on enormous secrets is unsustainable.

4 It seems like just enough bad info came out to force Trump’s removal, but really bad info is being held back till he’s out of office. Complicating this is Barr, who has not even read the report & probably isn’t privy to everything. He’s probably under CI investigation himself.

5 It’s not just redacted parts of Mueller's report we can't see that are damaging. There are topics not in the report that may be in the CI investigation or elsewhere. Like-Cambridge Analytica, Trump finances, Alfa & much more. Maddow & Bertrand have done pieces on what's missing

6 Trump & Barr are desperate to keep a lid on ALL OF IT because it's all damaging info. Their fear tells us it's terrible. Legal moves will slowly extract it. For ex Dem Senators compiled a list of 60 questions for Mueller. Many are about what’s missing. thehill.com/homenews/senat…

7 In the absence of hard facts, we can look to the behavior & confidence level of people involved who know more than we do. Look for posturing vs true confidence & outright backing down. For ex: What does Burr know to essentially tell the GOP to shove it & not give Don Jr a pass?

8 Some people see around corners & know what's coming. Some like Barr & Trump live in the moment. There was plenty of posturing during Watergate when a nugget appeared in Time Mag saying Nixon's atty, John Dean would soon be testifying & read a damaging opening statement. Kaboom.

9 What's so secret? I'm speculating here about what might be coming:
-Mueller’s upcoming testimony will be devastating
-The 12 handed off cases are too far along for Barr to stop
-NYAG Letitia James may be taking action
-The CI investigation of Trump produced evidence of treason

10 More Specuation:
-Flynn & Gates cooperation will be disclosed
-SDNY is waiting till Trump is removed to charge
-12 Dead Russians were outed by Trump
-Helsinki treason comes out
-Jared’s mining of intel was monetized
-Pompeo’s daily intel briefings to Trump, ended up w/ Putin

11 It's a good bet people like Mueller, Wray, Coats & Haspel know far more than most. Congress is slowly getting clued in. Watch their behavior- who's panicking, who's bluffing (clue- GOP) or who is emboldened. Eyes on Schiff, Nadler, Mitch, Burr, Paul, Graham, Barr, Nunes & more
