It will give me a lot to celebrate.

Report to Congress May 1
Public May 10.

Here's another pool idea:

On one axis the date they arrest Uday Don Jr, on the other axis the number of FBI agents they send to do it. Buy a square for $10.

That only works for finite results. In this case, one axis could be as long as two years.

I'll take September 30, 2024 for the report to congress and October 14, 2024 for the general release. It has become apparent that there is no there there but that's no reason to shut down too soon. It's fun to play Rambo while being filmed by your CNN buddies. Why stop?

We can't change the DOM rules in the slightest way. Ask me how I kmow. I'm sorry, I mean't don't...

You (plural): Ivanka hasn't done what Don Jr. has done, in a relevant sense?

In a criminal act sense.

Don Jr. has testified before Congress, and may have committed perjury. Ivanka has not.

Don Jr. sent emails and was in meetings, Ivanka (as far as we know) was not.

It’s OK to hate all of them, but please don’t make up facts that do not exist.

Be fair. I don't hate all of them. I like Ivana.

Ivanka was in up to her eyeballs with anything concerning Russia, as was Don Jr., IMO.

Just my opinion.

Based on what?

Based on my observation that she was e.g. equally involved in the Trump Tower Moscow project, etc.

She is his favorite child.

It's Eric who was left out of the loop.

Again, just my opinion.

Grassley expects the Mueller report within a month. I presume he has better knowledge than we do.

What will Barr do to quash the report?

Jeffrey Toobin on CNN pointed out that he has lots of options. Executive privilege, confidentiality, protection of sources, DoJ policy against spreading negative information about people who haven't been indicted, etc.

That last one creates quite a quandary. If you can't indict a President ... and if you can't spread negative information about someone who hasn't been indicted ... there's no way to say anything about Trump in the Mueller report.

They had no problem releasing the Clinton report.
