Previously undisclosed evidence in the possession of Special Counsel Robert Mueller—including highly confidential White House records and testimony by some of President Trump’s own top aides—provides some of the strongest evidence to date implicating the president of the United States in an obstruction of justice. Several people who have reviewed a portion of this evidence say that, based on what they know, they believe it is now all but inevitable that the special counsel will complete a confidential report presenting evidence that President Trump violated the law. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who oversees the special counsel’s work, would then decide on turning over that report to Congress for the House of Representatives to consider whether to instigate impeachment proceedings.
The central incident in the case that the president obstructed justice was provided by former FBI Director James B. Comey, who testified that Trump pressed Comey, in a private Oval Office meeting on February 14, 2017, to shut down an FBI criminal investigation of Trump’s former national security adviser, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. “I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go,” Comey has testified the president told him.

This explains the panic emanating from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Add to that the revelations that his former dirtbag lawyer/fixer has turned on him full force, and it puts Trump’s unhingery in major context.
I am reading that Cohen’s testimony, along with corroboration from Gates or other cooperating witnesses, puts Trump as a target in the Russia conspiracy along with Donald Jr and Kushner.
And we have a Democratic representative saying Jr and Kushner’s time in the barrel is likely at hand.
The shit is hitting the fan in the coming days, right in time for Manafort’s first trial.
