THREAD: It's time for Mueller to indict Mike Pence.

    1/ Before I continue, let me make it clear that this is informed speculation, and nothing more. I don't have any secret sources on this. But the writing is on the wall.

    2/ Pence is implicated in . He was Manafort's choice for VP. He was the head of the transition team -- a time of peak treason season -- and thus oversaw all the shady goings-on. He worked closely with the flipped Rick Gates.

    3/ He misled the American people about the Flynn thing, or else is so inept that he didn't know Flynn was dirty. He's either criminal or criminally negligent, take your pick.

    4/ He has a chequered past when it comes to shady dealings. He is guilty of the very same email issues the GOP attacked Hillary for -- except that there is reason to believe his emails were hacked. They have not been released. Oh, and he used his campaign $ to pay his mortgage.

    5/ He retained a very good law firm, a year or so ago -- long before any of the other Trumpists. So he knew that something might bubble up eventually. He's also removed himself from the inner dealings as much as possible.

    6/ All of this suggests guilt. Almost forgot: the mysterious masked name on the Manafort/Gates indictment? May well be Mike Pence.

    7/ Strategically, it makes sense for Mueller to do it. Pence cannot ever be president, as you don't replace a guy up to his eyeballs in treason with one only up to his waist. So he has to be removed before Trump.

    8/ Pence has been out of the news for a loooong time now. An indictment of him would immediately show how big the Conspiracy Against the United States really was, or rather IS.

    9/ It would also demonstrate the Mueller is not afraid to indict ANYONE. And unlike the president, the VP enjoys NO protections from the Constitution. He can be arrested like a common criminal.

    10/ Junior and Kushner are both going to be indicted, multiple times, and both will spend many, many years in prison. Mueller can roll that out whenever he wants, and Trump knows it. But Pence? That might really freak 45 out.

    This would be hitting Trump from a different front altogether. And Mueller tends to like surprises. [END]
