    Folks: Mueller's team surely was preparing for this. Once they locked in Manafort it became less dangerous. So we shall see what happens.

        It is still dangerous. New person can just shut down the Mueller probe.

        Can’t Mueller’s new boss just shut the whole thing down, or order Mueller to investigate traffic tickets or something?

        Brian Benczkowski was appointed Head of the DoJ Criminal division by R' votes only. He would replace Rosenstine if Trump fired him. Benczkowski could fire Mueller and end all the work Mueller's people were doing. A Constitutional Crisis yes. States AGs are not under the DoJ.

        State charges against Trump and his crime family can not be pardoned. NY and NJ have enough to bring Trump & Co. down. Mueller is always 10 steps ahead of Trump and his Three Stooges Legal Team. I'm sure Mueller saw this coming when Benczkowski was appointed to DoJ.

        The rush to confirm Kavanaugh is connected to #TrumpRussia Getting Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court has been the GOP endgame for a long time. I started posting this thread right after the Nunes recording came out.

        An odd cast of characters in a plot revealed by the Nunes Recording. Brian Benczkowski, connected with Trump's campaign, and Kavanaugh go back a long time. Sens. Durbin & Leahy felt Kavanaugh mislead them years ago. Benczkowski got Kav off the hook. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/07/how-kavanaughs-last-confirmation-hearing-could-haunt-him/565304/ …pic.twitter.com/lRiYhfjsmZ

        I can guarantee they did. They had a plan for if Rosenstein was removed in any capacity. Now to see what that plan is. Trump WH was fully thrown into freak out mode once they got Manafort and Cohen.

        Locking in Manafort made Mueller's ability to finish his investigation LESS dangerous?
