Eric Schneiderman may be the biggest threat to the Trump crime syndicate today.

I'm betting that even if Trump tries to do a number on Mueller, the New York AG will be front and center w/ the criminal goods. There's no doubt in my mind that the Mueller team has already colluded w/ the AG and the pincer plan is in place.

Trump is fucked no matter which way he goes, but I worry about the damage that will be done before and after the gig is up.

And they do know how to handle it. I'm wondering even if some how dipshit fires Mueller the stuff pertaining to states will be forwarded. It may already be if Mueller deems it should be handled there. Another thing pardons wouldn't erase is if there are problems in other countries that might bite him in the butt. Think about possible asset seizures maybe even if lucky arrest warrants.. With the investigations asking for for foreign information they would also be aware of crimes.

And their rules/penalties may be different when it comes to fraud and RICO? Not sure on that though.

Mueller knows how to play this game. He's got Plan B running right along with Plan A. NY will end up being the key since the repukes in Congress will not do their jobs.

He is outstanding. I've been talking to his office on another matter, but always take time to encourage them to prosecute Trump.
