Trump confides to friends he's concerned about impeachment
Despite public declarations that he's unconcerned, the president has told people close to him he's alarmed about the prospect of impeachment.
Trump has ranted about why no one around him is doing anything to stop any of it and vented about the lack of support he believes he has in Congress and within his own White House, the sources tell NBC News.
In addition to the much-anticipated report from Mueller on the Russia investigation, Democrats could ask prosecutors in the SDNY to similarly share details of their probe into Cohen that are related to the president.
Trump has in recent days been made aware of this possibility from people close to him, opening up a new vulnerability for the president.
This all feels very Nixonian.

Missed this somehow, but Trump apparently said he won't be impeached because "people will revolt." Once again using the soapbox he has to signal his supporters, inherently violent, to get violent. via MSNBC (citing Reuters)

It’s not even a surprise anymore that he’s upset that someone around him isn’t doing more to stop this.
It’s more funny, in a pathetic sort of way, that he expects those around him to basically break the law to protect him. Especially when those people who are supposed to save him have all seen how Trump will do absolutely nothing to help them out if they do.

Trump's base of elderly weirdos will surely do a coup for him.
I'm less worried about some geezers who miss the days when blacks couldn't drink from their water fountains then I am that the militias will take this as a call to arms and go full domestic terrorist.

I'm a bit worried we'll have an American version of the Troubles, even if Trump leaves some way.
I saw that too, and it was my immediate reaction that he was absolutely signaling his base.
He's dropped that revolt line a couple times before. I don't think he's signaling anything, it's just more bullshit coming out of his mouth.
He thinks he's obviously super popular and so his supporters won't stand for him being pushed around.
And with the conservative base he still is.
yeah, but the base isn't going to fly or drive into DC to protest. A couple crackpots (aka true believers) might take a few pot shots at a government building or two though =/

There has been lots of right-wing domestic terrorism in the past 2 years (and before)

While this would be an extremely bad thing, it may be the only way to undo the Gordon Knot we’ve created.
So do we know what/when the next drop from Mueller is gonna be? Like a scheduled filing? Or is somebody going to get indicted?

A Russian gun rights activist pleaded guilty Thursday to conspiring with a senior Russian official to infiltrate the conservative movement in the United States as an agent for the Kremlin from 2015 until her arrest in July 2017.
If Butina is going to give evidence against the NRA/Republican party, then that has got to mean Putin is angry at Trump, because if she did so without Russia's blessing she could look forward to a polonium sandwich and a quick trip off the roof when she gets back.

She can never return to Russia and will be checking her closets and under her bed for the rest of her life.

ehh it would be VERY hard for her to be talking with Russia in Federal custody

Last I knew weren't her lawyers being "provided" for her? She was recently granted basically a PD which is a sign of issues with lawyers.
As it is, this may just be phase 2 for Putin. The likely outcomes of Trump's dirt becoming public aren't exactly bad for Russia.
Conspiracy agains the United States as a foreign agent only has a 5 year maximum sentence?
Plea deal
It's a somewhat oddball result. The charge of conspiracy has a maximum five year sentence. Thing is, conspiracy doesn't stand alone - there has to be an underlying offense. In this case, acting as a foreign agent carries a maximum of ten years. What she pled to though is just the charge of conspiracy, thus the shorter maximum sentence.

Seems fishy to me
Trump has friends?
They are well-wishers, in that they don't mean him any specific harm.

Or Putins's just dicking with the US.
Because remember: Putin is not a friend of american conservatives. He's used them to undermine the dems because he knew he didn't want to deal with Hillary, but undermining one of the alt right's most important institutions with questions of it's objectivity causes more domestic confusion and thus prevents people from focusing on him down the road.

Since the whole world is a silly spy movie these days, they could easily use a pre-set code-phrases to let her know she is free to make a deal.
What why the fuck would we be allowing this
Probably cause you can record everything they say to each other. And possibly because there's a bit of diplomatic back and forth going on with assets, professional courtesy, and etc.

Incorrect. At the federal level, conspiracy itself is a crime with a 5 year jail sentence attached. You can be convicted solely of conspiracy and no other crime. I agree, it's ridiculous.

Yeah, if Putin can further fracture and entrench things, he will. I am sure it wouldn't be hard to spin possible events as "Democrat witch hunt destroys the NRA: they're coming for your guns."

Yeah it sounds more like the talk of someone deep in the Fox News bubble who only goes to his own masturbatory rallies.

I wonder if her plea deal contained arrangements for her not dying of a car crash with high levels of polonium in her blood

Except after her sentence she'll probably be deported there
Probably cause you can record everything they say to each other. And possibly because there's a bit of diplomatic back and forth going on with assets, professional courtesy, and etc.
Not if part of the deal involves her entering witness protection so that she can provide intel to the FBI.
Also Trump comes right out and says it today, "I never directed Cohen to break the law"
His legal team must feel pretty strongly that they're solid on this fact. That last sentence though....
Thoughts and prayers go out to them all
