Heck, the independent counsel's investigation into Bill Clinton went on well into the 2000s, and covered far more than just Lewinski. Things like this takes time.

Deutsche Bank receives subpoena from Mueller on Trump accounts (Reuters)
- Thread starter Cosmonaut X
- Start date
A subpeona isn't just "asking", it's telling. Even though they're a foreign bank they can still get into it legally if they just ignore.
Anyway, there's no reason for them to not comply. They seem to be quite the dodgy bank so I doubt they want all this scrutiny aimed at them, they'll hand over whatever Mueller wants to get him off their back.
But Trump said don't look into his finances! Lol
Man this shit is heating up like crazy. Assembling an investigation team filled with experts in all these different fields is really starting to pay off now.

The Guardian is reporting that the information has already been handed over

Isn't Deutsche Bank based in Germany? Shouldn't be a problem unless they want this investigation to span the entirety of the western world. I'm pretty sure the UK is already involved to a limited extent.
Well technically he can't. Rosenstein, the Deputy Attorney General would have to do that, since Jeff Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation. Trump would have to fire Rosenstein, and try to find a new Deputy AG who would be willing to fire Mueller.
Oh, okay. At least there's a buffer. I just can't see him not going that route, though. As transparent and stupid as it is.
Now he's gonna go real nuts. Hopefully Bob has a good deadman's switch in case Trump decides to go nuclear.
I wonder what the timeline of that would be; Rosenstein got nominated on January 13, and confirmed by the Senate on April 25, 2017, so that's a decent three months.
I'm sure any after-the-fact chasing off his financial accounts/dealings will have been gotten to via third-parties if it exposes them (or their interests). Especially should Trump have been too complacent to do so himself. I wouldn't expect anything major to be found.
When did anyone say this is the finishing blow? I understand being pessimistic but c'monnnnnnn
If he did, it would be even more evidence of obstruction of justice. He straight up said it right there. It wasn't even mealy mouthed "Trump speak" like the Lester Holt interview.
Yeah it would be difficult at least. Although they already did it to Comey.
Watergate investigation began in 1972, Nixon resigned in 1974. These things take time.
Go away. It's ridiculous how folks like you are so ignorant, choose to make these dumb and worthless comments instead of educating yourself on what happens when special investigations of this manner take place. Instead you go the 'noting will happen' angle displaying you're either lazy or simply choose to stay ignorant.
Maybe this should be in the OP... just in case

It's almost like a bunch of doofuses have said that exact phrase a bunch in these threads while many things actually come of it
These nothingburger posts always fill me with warm fuzzy feelings.
Saturday Night Massacre comes to mind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday_Night_Massacre
Will we get sequel soon or attempt of?
But remember this is Stupid Watergate. So that might shave off 6 months or more!
Nice try. Your 'nothing will happen' statement displays what I said. Chosen ignorance or simple laziness. That you deem 4 indictments 'nothing' speaks volumes. That you deem a special council and investigation 'nothing' speaks volumes. That you deem two individuals including a previous National Security Advisor taking a plea deal and working with the special council as 'nothing' speaks volumes.
As I said. Ignorance or laziness.
True, but Trump was able to do that without any input; there are more steps to firing Mueller than Trump sending a letter to an empty office, which is what was done with Comey. And of course, it was firing Comey that gave birth to the Mueller investigation in the first place. I'm not sure if any Deputy AG, no matter how loyal to Trump, would want to make that mistake again. I'm also pretty sure that at this point, Mueller most likely has an INCREDIBLE "Dead Man's Switch" set up, in the event that he does get fired.
It's going to end in a massive constitutional crisis and likely violence.
It should be more than a protest.
To be fair, this is also bigger than Watergate and involves a foreign country's intelligence apparatus.
It wouldn't work the way you are thinking. A new interim Deputy AG would be immediately appointed via Line of Succession. That person is the Associate Attorney General who is Rachel Brand.

I will say it before, and I will say it again, the 2018 mid-term elections are going to be a turning point in this country, for better.....or worse.
I specifically mentioned not educating yourself which comes down to laziness. Thanks for proving me right since it seems you didn't even read the original post I made in response to you.
