Today Mike Pence said that it's time to wrap up the Mueller probe on Russia.

Mueller was appointed on May 17, 2017, so the investigation hasn't even been ongoing for a full year.

Let's put that in context.
2/
There were 2 Congressional Committees that investigated 9/11.

There were 8 Congressional Committees that investigated Benghazi. EIGHT. One of them, the House Intelligence Committee, lasted for TWO years.

Just 9 months into Mueller's investigation there were over 100 criminal counts issued against 19 people.

Of those 19 people, 5 of them have plead guilty.

Of those 5, 3 were Trump associates.

nytimes.com/2018/02/23/us/…
4/
None of those 100 counts or 19 people have anything to do with Michael Cohen, who was paid off by a Russian oligarch and other companies.

Mueller has inquired about these payments.

Mueller has also questioned Erik Prince, the brother of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, about setting up a back channel to Russia.

We also know that Mueller wants to meet with Trump.

If Trump refuses, Mueller could subpoena him to appear in front of a Grand Jury.

If he refuses the subpoena that could go before the Supreme Court.

So, Mike, if it's time to "wrap up", let's recap:

We're less than a year in and we have 100 charges of 19 people; 5 have plead guilty.

Mueller wants to meet with Trump but Trump says no.

Seems to us like Mueller is moving rather quickly and all Trump has to do is say yes.

Hey Rogues! We realize that today was CRAZY - don't panic. Here's why.

THREAD

First of all, remember that Trump thrives on chaos. He wants you to feel confused, tired, and hopeless.

Don't let him manipulate you.

Focus on what YOU can do, not what you CANNOT do.
2) First of all - Jeff Sessions "resigned" (was fired).

This is huge.

There are protests tomorrow at 5 pm, probably one near you. This is something that you can focus on that's coming up soon.

GO HERE to find one near you:

3) The Jim Acosta news is big too but...you cannot do anything about that so don't let it stress you out. Yes, it should worry you, but given everything else going on, don't let it make you crazy if you don't have to.

CNN will handle it - you don't need to.

This is HORRIBLE advice.

Storm surge is not factored into hurricane categories.

The size of a storm factors into the size of the surge. Florence was a HUGE storm, meaning that even though she's "only" a Cat 2, she could have a bigger surge than other stronger storms.
But don't take our word for it, listen to the National Hurricane Center.

Also, Hurricane Camille came ashore as a Category 5.

Hurricane Katrina came ashore as a Category 3.

Katrina's storm surge was worse.

This article has provoked a lot of commentary today. Most of the commentary from the the left has been alarmist, though some (like @SethAbramson) have been dismissive. I don’t think either response is appropriate. 1/16
There was every reason to expect that Mueller would go into action again shortly after the election; we didn’t need this article to know that. 2/16

Was this a ‘sudden’ retirement for Justice Kennedy?

How long has he been mulling it over?

And why now for God’s sake?

Why at this singular moment in history?

Something stinks
Of course we could follow the money

🤔

Maybe he knows one of Mueller’s lines of investigation led to him. And he knew staying in that position of power was too steep a conflict of interest in light of the overwhelming and damning facts against Trump he may have gotten wind of.
Ppl need to remember we’re dealing w/potential historic US Constitutional changes in light of Trump’s abuses of Office.

We’re on new ground imo

Who’s to say the SC office hasn’t ‘already’ secretly conferred with the Justices over the Constitutionality of this Trump debacle?

💣BOOM💣

THREAD: Mueller has **at least FOUR DOZEN questions** on an huge array of subjects he wants to ask Trump to probe his ties w/#Russia🇷🇺 & whether he committed #ObstructionOfJustice‼️ 1/

#MuellerIsComing

nytimes.com/2018/04/30/us/…
The NYTimes **obtained the list of Qs that Mueller wants to ask Trump during an interview.🤨

It's VERY hard to imagine that details of the ACTUAL questions would leak, unless the negotiations btwn Mueller & Trump's lawyers have BROKEN DOWN (as I was told a few months ago).🤔 2/
Overall, Mueller's open-ended Q's attempt to penetrate Trump's thinking (good luck!), to understand Trump's motivation for his crazed Twitter posts & to examine Trump's relationships w/his family and his closest advisers.🤨 3/

#Russia's really going for it at UNSC today: Amb. Nebenzia going all-out tinfoil hat, contradicting himself in rapid time.

- In the space of seconds, he says (1) the #Douma incident was a false-flag chemical attack by rebels & then says (2) there was no chemical attack at all.
U.S. Amb. to UN @nikkihaley:

- I could hold up pictures of babies lying dead next to their mothers, in their diapers, all lying together, dead, ashen blue, open eyes & lifeless, white foam bubbling from their mouths & noses… the very definition of innocent, hiding in basements.
U.S. Amb. to UN @nikkihaley:

"Who does this? Only a monster does this… the monsters behind this have no conscience… the Russian regime is covered in the blood of innocent children.

#Russia & #Iran are to blame… [but] what’s the point in trying to shame these people?

🔥PENCE🔥

THREAD: Recently, we’ve learned more details about whom Team🇺🇸Mueller has interviewed, and that Mueller plans to interview Trump.🤗

What’s *at least* as interesting: who‘s NOT been publicly included on Mueller’s interview list. Most conspicuously👉🏼Mike PENCE‼️1/
Given Mike Pence's role during the campaign, the transition and now in the WH, Team🇺🇸Mueller *surely* will interview Pence (or already has). But in what capacity? Meaning: how does Pence fit into Mueller's #TrumpRussia investigation⁉️ 2/
Basically, it boils down to this for PENCE:

👉🏼Pence is "innocent", saw nothing, did nothing during his entire tenure w/Trump, or
👉🏼Pence is "innocent" himself, but witnessed criminal acts by others, or
👉🏼Pence participated in criminal acts.
