Highly unlikely to happen.

Yes, but we can dream, can't we?
It would certainly be top of Mueller's wish list, and not only Mueller's.

Losing hope in Mueller....been dragging on too long....if there was anything there he'd would have done something already.

Got it all wrong there. It is a complex investigation with a lot of forks to go down. I think if there was nothing then it would have been over long ago.

Also keep in mind that a potentially even bigger problem for Drumpf is that it would appear that Micheal Cohen is flipping.

^i hope ur right, but trump's been laundering dirty money from the russians for years and hasn't been caught. His smarts are getting those around him in trouble and keeping himself out of it.

I agree. My take is he's dotting every I and crossing every T knowing he'll need a watertight case. He is probably hoping to cast a wide net, too; all those forks lead somewhere.

Maybe better to wait til closer to election time. A yuuuge report of corruption could sway the vote. Not sure what Mueller's game is.

I doubt this will be done until after the election. That is my hope at least. Then the hope being that the dems will flip the house and possibly the senate.

But New York City vs The Trump Family wrt the charity fraud will go ahead before the elections, unless Trump settles out of court which he swore he wouldn't.
Either way, he's going to lose some votes and the Dems need to capitilise on him being a fraudster and cheat.

So much winning....

Pfizer, the U.S. drug giant behind blockbuster treatments like Viagra and the pneumonia vaccine Prevnar, reported fourth quarter 2017 earnings which easily beat Wall Street analyst expectations, including a massive $11 billion boost from President Donald Trump’s new tax cuts.

Around 100 of Pfizer’s drugs got higher list prices this week, the Financial Times first reported. The affected drugs include big sellers, such as Lyrica pain capsules, Chantix smoking-cessation medication, Norvasc blood-pressure pills, and the lung-cancer treatment Xalkori.

A reminder:

Donald Trump said he would propose the most sweeping plan in U.S. history to lower drug prices, an attempt to meet a promise from his campaign that has largely gone unaddressed so far in his presidency.

“We’ll have much lower prices at the pharmacy counter and it’ll start taking effect immediately,” Trump said in a speech in the White House Rose Garden.

Of course the trumpanzees won't see any of this because most of them are illiterate and stupid.

"Whitewashing"

1991...
The BCCI whitewash - tribunedigital-baltimoresun

Look: the pattern of the BCCI swindlers for a decade has been to buy high-level influence, to seek to avert prosecution and obstruct justice, to offer bribes. It worked around the world; why shouldn't they try it on the Bush White House?

The White House self-inquiry, as predicted here a week ago, was a sham; its avid embrace by Criminal Division chief Robert Mueller is typical of Justice's inexplicable ineptness in the face of a vast criminal conspiracy. Dick Thornburgh bobbled his Pennsylvania race partly because of his BCCI failure.

Because nobody has held out a bundle of cash and bluntly said "obstruct justice," the complaisant Mueller will not ask anybody embarrassing questions under oath.

When it comes to modern global corruption -- legal fees, stock deals, intermediaries, cooperation with intelligence cut-outs for protection -- this passive Thornburgh product[Mueller] just doesn't get it.

Oh he gets it alright...

Too much winning!

U.S. pig farmers are bracing for another round of steep tariffs this week from China and Mexico following President Trump's decision to impose hefty tariffs on the two countries.

According to CNBC, some major U.S. pork producers fear they will lose a significant amount of money once China and Mexico implement the tariffs, forcing some to move their investments overseas.

China is expected to begin fetching a 25 percent tariff on U.S. pork imports on Friday. Mexico, which imposed a 10 percent tariff on pork imports last month, is expected to double its import tax to 20 percent on Thursday. CNBC reported that China's taxes will exceed 70 percent when combined with previous import taxes.

"We put a halt on all investment, not just because we will be losing money, but because we don't know if growing in the U.S. is the right move if we won't be an exporting country," Ken Maschhoff, chairman of Maschhoff Family Foods and co-owner of the nation's biggest family-owned pork producer told CNBC.


Maschhoff told the outlet that the farm industry has been "asked to be good patriots."

"We have been. But I don't want to be the patriot who dies at the end of the war," he continued. "If we go out of business, it's tough to look at my kids and the 550 farm families that look us into the eye and our 1,400 employees."

The tariffs come in response to Trump's decision in May to slap steep duties on steel and aluminum imports from Canada, Mexico and the European Union (EU). The action prompted a wave of retaliatory tariffs from the countries, sparking concern of a looming trade war.

Meanwhile, China on Tuesday said it is “fully prepared” for a trade war with the U.S., marking the latest escalation in trade tensions between the two countries.

The U.S. will hit China with $34 billion worth of tariffs on goods Friday, the same day China will start collecting a 25 percent duty on U.S. soybeans.

Last month, the Des Moines Register reported that the threat of retaliatory tariffs from Mexico have cost Iowa pork producers around $560 million.

Mexico, which represents the largest export market for American pork by volume, stands to put further strain on U.S. pork producers — particularly in Iowa, which is the country's largest producer.

"We want to compete and be able to sell abroad and make sure our government knocks down trade barriers," Maschhoff told CNBC. "All we've accomplished is getting more trade barriers. We are the casualty and predicted it from day one."

Trump says steel and aluminium, aiming to please a sector of his electorate. His trade adversaries say "all the products of his electoral base".

Smart guy is Trump.

I think he is trying to convince America that Russian meddling is a terrible thing without saying what how or if it had any effect on the election. That is like saying a criminal should get life for stealing but keeping from the court how much he stole. That's a hard sell. Releasing Mrs. Clinton's email was a very bad thing if the Russians did it but OK if the FBI did it? How is that going to play in Poughkeepsie.
