Monday, Monday

Monday, Monday, so good to me
Monday mornin´, it was all I hoped it would be
Oh Monday mornin´, Monday mornin´ couldn´t guarantee
That Monday evenin´ you would still be here with me

Monday, Monday, can´t trust that day
Monday, Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way
Oh Monday mornin´ you gave me no warnin´ of what was to be
Oh Monday, Monday, how could you leave and not take me
The Mamas & the Papas

Who “wins” the indictment lottery? I am convinced that Team Mueller has not indicted Colin Kaepernick for taking a knee during the national anthem. And it's unlikely to be Hillary Clinton, no matter how many times Jack Kingston tries to convince the CNN audience that the last of the redacted CIA documents prove that she had been photographed on the grassy knoll with a rifle.

Some of the experts on CNN have stated the indictment was sealed, due to concern the suspect may try to flee the country. Others have said that it is routine. Either way, I think that several of the guilty-as-sin Trump team are looking out their windows, to see if there are black SUVs parked outside. More, I believe that several of these people will see such vehicles.

I'd even say it's a safe bet that inside the White House this weekend, there is a high level of stress and anxiety. Every rat inside is thinking about how long it will be until they are indicted? And who can they sell out in an attempt to save their own ass?

Keep in mind that, not long ago, it was reported that White House staff were concerned about if others were wearing a wire. Gracious!

At the top of this shit heap is Donald Trump. No doubt, his legal team is concerned about his mental state, for when a personality-disordered individual such as Trump is under pressure, they can experience episodes of psychosis.

General Kelly can be of limited help, because he has proven himself to be at least partially under Trump's spell. In “The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness,” Erich Fromm documented how those with rigid personalities are prone to take actions to support a psychopathic leader, that they would not take under any other circumstance. Kelly's recent lies about a Congresswoman are a prime example of this dynamic.

As much as we might like to see Jared Kushner frog-marched out of the White House on Monday – and Kelly Ann Conway tasered by police as she attempts to interfere – it is best to set the bar of expectations relatively low.

Keep in mind that Team Mueller is pursuing a legal case, not a political agenda. The larger goal is a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) violations case. It includes conspiring (rather than “collusion”) within a group, where some member or members break the law, to achieve a specific desired result.

Thus, it is possible – even likely – that we will learn that Paul Manafort has been indicted for past financial crimes. Team Mueller would do this, not because they are not pursuing higher crimes, but to insure that Manafort flips.

It is uncertain of how Trump will react to the news this weekend, much less next week. Obviously, the utter nonsense that the media wing of the Trump administration (Fox News) and White House cheerleaders were peddling in the days previous to the breaking news was their strategy to divert attention from the coming indictment. But their reaction post-indictment will in the upcoming days be more aggressive.

We are witnessing an extremely important point in our national history. I do not think it is unfair to say the events that unfold will determine if we can regain our constitutional democracy, or if the US becomes yet another empire that self-destructs, and morphs into a dictatorship. Strange days have found us.

Peace,
H2O Man
