1. Is it common to make an announcement before hand like this?

Is it to unsettle the other side?

[Irish_Dem]

4. Yes to rattle someone. Mueller has been playing cat and mouse with someone. nt

6. Why...

Do we have so much faith in a Republican to make things right? I'm not getting my hopes up.

9. ...

[fallout87]

18. yes...

He's a republican. Why would he tank his own party. I'm just saying ... so much hope is being put in this guy. I dont know why...

[orangecrush]

19. Because

Some people put country over politics.

If you are career military, you don't get to disobey lawful orders because you didn't vote for whoever is President, for example.

There are two stars on the CIA memorial wall of two women who died carrying out the policy of a President they personally opposed.

One was a republican, one was a democrat.

20. I hope...

You are right this time. I really do. I'm just not getting my hopes up. Trump doesn't seem to be worried. If he was, he's be busy trying to get us into nuclear war over twitter right now. And I find it hard to believe he doesn't know who's being indicted.

11. It's a republican!

2. It sucks to be a Trussian TreasonWeasel (R) betraying America

As honorable people everywhere well know.

3. They cant do it on a weekend

Giving them a chance to run. Maybe join Eddie in Russia.

10. In a case like this if someone is going to be indicted they have been told already.

The DOJ has made arrangements with their attorney to turn themselves in. #reallifenotTV

[treestar]

14. I hope

I just remember the crap about the business days!

[former9thward]

16. Yes, so do I

[FakeNoose]

13. The passports are flagged

Presumably the exit points know what/whom to look for.

15. Good!

Great graphic.

[democratisphere]

5. Weekends allow for extended drum rolls before the BIG SPLASH!

Wonder who the odds makers are picking in Vegas to make the BIG SPLASH?

[forgotmylogin]

12. And it will be funny to watch them sweat.

Just like a reality show where they draw the reveal out. Trump should be very familiar.

"The person voted off the island IS... ... ...

I've read other people saying this is a good opportunity for them to see who blinks and makes a run for it.

7. What a nice way to start the news cycle.

We will be talking about this all week.

It will be a good week, I hope.

8. It's been such a nightmare since November, I can't help but think this is going to be nothing.

I sure hope it's a new beginning. I need to smile on the inside again.

17. If they are this public than the person knows

And they are just not saying who it is, but have let them know.

If there was any question that the person would flee they would have acted as soon as it was handed down, and/or would not say anything publicly until it was served.

Unless it is an option I had not though of until just as I am typing this- that the indictment is for a person not in the country. Like a Russian...
