IMO, based upon what we know right now, there would be 2 perjury traps for POTUS in the Mueller investigation:
1. Obstruction stuff (which I don’t think Trump’s team allowed in the questions).
2. Questions around “Did Trump know about the Trump Tower meeting in advance” stuff.
My guess is POTUS would answer #2 in the manner of “I don’t recall” or something like that, which would give him legal wiggle room.
Of course, we all know Mueller wants to trap POTUS on perjury. But I think Trump’s legal team will help him avoid it.
If POTUS gave himself wiggle room on the Trump Tower meeting issue, we’ll probably learn about it soon as leaks will come out along the lines of “Trump changes statements on Trump Tower meeting knowledge; now says he isn’t sure if he knew when before he said he did not know” and so forth.

I think actually, ironically the same thing is going on in BOTH parties, to wit an insistence on idiological purity, on the part of the base.
The difference, is in how the party deals with such a push.Look who lost, on the Democrat side; MODERATE Dems. Look who WON; extremeists, even if they are bubbleheads, waiting to get inaugerated to Congress, lol.
Even before the midterm, we saw the ‘leadership’ move in a major shift to far left, at the behest of their base. Personally, I think the old guard is terrified of the base.
On the Republican side, we see the opposite. We deplorables, and our Champion VSGDJT, continue to get ignored or minimised, when it comes to ACTION, by R ‘leadership’ in Congress.
No progress, and a lot of blocking on the MAGAagenda, and on exposing soft coup.
On the latter,,I think its self interest; if it ‘all came out’, I believe that would include that several R’s were complicit in an ateempted coup,including McStain, Ryan and undoubtedly others.
But, on attempts to block MAGA, it seems to me the midterms present a dillema for Republicans; from here on out, you need the embrace, to win re-election.
Perhaps Bannon is correct; we are in a transition, from Right vs. Left (old) to National Populism vs.Socialist Populism (new)?
So, the Dem party is struggling with a socialist populist takeover, while the Rep party is struggling with a nationalist populist takeover, and how the party leaderships are dealing with it, are opposite.

In absolutely SHOCKING news:
https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/detroit/2018/11/20/female-genital-mutilation-michigan/1991712002/
“In a major blow to the government, a federal judge in Detroit has declared America’s female genital mutilation law unconstitutional, thereby dismissing the key charges against two Michigan doctors and six others accused of subjecting at least nine minor girls to the cutting procedure in the nation’s first FGM case.
The historic case involves minor girls from Michigan, Illinois and Minnesota, including some who cried, screamed and bled during the procedure and one who was given Valium ground in liquid Tylenol to keep her calm, court records show.
The judge’s ruling also removed three mothers from the case, including two Minnesota women whom prosecutors said tricked their 7 -year-old daughters into thinking they were coming to Metro Detroit for a girls’ weekend, but instead had their genitals cut at a Livonia clinic as part of a religious procedure.
U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman concluded that “as despicable as this practice may be,” Congress did not have the authority to pass the 22-year-old federal law that criminalizes female genital mutilation, and that it’s a matter for the state’s to regulate. FGM is banned worldwide and has been outlawed in more than 30- countries, though the U.S. statute had never been tested before this case.
“As laudable as the prohibition of a particular type of abuse of girls may be … federalism concerns deprive Congress of the power to enact this statute,” Friedman wrote in his 28-page opinion, noting: “Congress overstepped its bounds by legislating to prohibit FGM … FGM is a ‘local criminal activity’ which, in keeping with longstanding tradition and our federal system of government, is for the states to regulate, not Congress.”
I cannot even BEGIN to understand what this Judge is thinking. This is just OUTRAGEOUS!

George Washington Foresaw The Democrat Party’s Destruction Of America

Washington’s Farewell Speech To Congress
https://www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?flash=false&doc=15&page=transcript
Excerpts. Emphasis by me. Much more at link. Good information to know.
—–
In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs as matter of serious concern that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations, Northern and Southern, Atlantic and Western; whence designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts.
All obstructions to the execution of the laws, all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle, and of fatal tendency. They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common counsels and modified by mutual interests.
>>> However combinations or associations of the above description may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion. <<>> One method of assault may be to effect, in the forms of the Constitution, alterations which will impair the energy of the system, and thus to undermine what cannot be directly overthrown. <<<

Note: The last sentence above is pertinent to Congress' limiting of 2nd Amd rights by banning certain firearms, enacting licensing schemes (SCOTUS, in hearing a case of Jehovah's Witnesses who were told they needed a permit to proselytize, ruled that rights ennunciated in the constitution can not be licensed. Poll Tax case, SCOTUS ruled constitutional rights can't be taxed), and other schemes that are end runs around 2nd Amd.

“Consistently, six out of 10 to seven out of 10 Republicans pick Trump over any of the other names,” Nesho told Hill.TV’s Joe Concha, referring to those, including outgoing Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R), Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), and Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), who have been floated as potential GOP challengers.

Actually you chopped off the thread making it look like Sundance just posted the Q post. The thread is about the Huber hearing on Dec 5th. Further down the thread the Q post is included by Praying Medic who does follow Q.
That is what I call trying to make your host look bad. Learn some manners.

Not at all. You were still ** *** the way you posted your original post. Your intent was clear to discredit Sundance. And it will be a cold day in hell before I let you do that.
Never seen you post here before so you need to earn a place on a branch. Bad start.

The media including FOX knows something about Hillary Clinton and James Comey that we don’t know yet.. I think this because they are already setting the stage that POTUS asked his council to ask DOJ to investigate Clinton and Comey and how that request would “” BE OUTRAGEOUS AND FOR SURE LEAD TO HIS IMPEACHMENT ” Something is going to drop

Does anyone know why we have this NYT hit piece on the President today, wanting to go after the Clintons, etc?
Was it a slow news day? Clueless in the Hudson Valley!

Couple of thoughts on this.
1. The sub-heading of the article that shows up on Twitter for the piece is something like “clearest example that Trump views DOJ as his political tool.” This makes me think that at least part of the goal of the article is to put pressure on Whitaker to not take action against Mueller. That is, the article tries to put POTUS and Whitaker on defense, and so if Whitaker did anything to hold back or stifle Mueller that would be more “political” action, etc. So, a leverage play by the NYT and their Deep State/Coup allies.
2. Oftentimes, holidays are when politicians’ polls go up. Because they are out of the spotlight. This story dropped, I think, after POTUS got on the helicopter for Florida. So you drop a negative story he can’t easily respond to during the holiday break and you try to prevent any poll bounce from happening.
3. The goal of the Resist group is to constantly hold Trump down. To not let him gain momentum. This is part of the reason for Mueller, and the Dem House will continue the task with numerous frivolous investigations. The media will happily play their part. So this DOJ story is kind of a “bridge” between the election and waiting for the Dem House to get in place. So is the Ivanka emails story.
The Resist gang does not want Trump to have any ability to get beyond their control to handle, so they want to continually try to keep him in a defensive posture. But, they’re running out of legitimate “scandals” to try to play up. This looks like the fodder for the moment, and it also (like Mueller) serves a “shield” purpose for Team Coup by trying to put onto Trump what they actually did themselves (weaponize the DOJ).

Like Reagan, Trump is naturally charming and charismatic and people want to root for him. So if you do not continually bash him, his polls will tend to run at 50%+. His opponents have been able to hold him under that for his entire term, mostly, and they’re intent to continue to do that as long as they can with these attacks.

One final thing — the paid trolls are out in force right now, around the internet. So there definitely seems to be a coordinated “push” going on right now against POTUS. Not sure why that is or would be, but it seems to be happening. I guess is could just be normal Team David Brock activity, but it seems a bit elevated at the moment.

Yeah. Right now, I think the goal is just get him past the frivolous lawsuits and investigations the Dems want. Which should be doable, IMO.
One step at a time. The Dems/Media have to go crazy about the DOJ and Whitaker. They understand the danger now, as Mueller can be wrapped-up and the lens turn on them, instead.
