The two most prescient Russiagate Twitterati report sealed indictment against Trump
In the immortal words of philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, “Shït just got real.”
Louise Mensch and Claude Taylor share the byline at Patribotics:
Separate sources with links to the intelligence and justice communities have stated that a sealed indictment has been granted against Donald Trump.
Mensch adds via Twitter:
I have no expectation, nor did sources suggest, this warrant would be unsealed in a ‘few days’ nor did they give a timeline. https://t.co/3GQ76F8xCA

and
@BWJones We don’t report other than an indictment, not the issuing court. https://t.co/ijvmofLKkf

But hold it, say those of you familiar with the Constitution, what good is an indictment if a president can only be removed from office following impeachment and a 2/3 Senate vote to remove? Patribotics elucidates:
While it is understood that the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution means that, until Mr. Trump is impeached, he cannot be prosecuted, sources say that the indictment is intended by the FBI and prosecutors in the Justice Department to form the basis of Mr. Trump’s impeachment. The indictment is, perhaps uniquely, not intended or expected to be used for prosecution, sources say, because of the constitutional position of the President.
And there’s this, too:
@BWJones @TrueFactsStated My sources, not his, added that a #FISA warrant still exists to this day targeted on Trump. It’s not in this story; b/c this story is joint.

Plus…
Sealed indictments out of Eastern District of Virginia-under Dana Boente. Trump, Manafort and Flynn-among others under sealed indictment.

Just when we passed Trump’s first 100 days in office, it is beginning to look as if we are seeing his last 100. ‘Nuff said…
