Watching Morning Joe / multiple shows / sources and getting a real sense these people all know they're living through history. Law professor is coming on and is expected to argue that Cohen is bait, which is fascinating. Perhaps the justice team / FBI / DOJ are purposefully pushing Trump to try to get him to fire Mueller? Looking forward to hearing out the man's reasoning on the show (I'll edit in update after for those unable to watch).
EDIT: Fascinating. Law prof saying the Stormy case is far easier to prove criminal activity than collusion, hence greater exposure to Trump than Mueller investigation (Stormy case led by other departments). Cohen, Stormy could bring down Trump!
EDIT 2: Because these are Trump appointees who signed off on such a difficult-to-attain raid, shows how solid the evidence of criminal activity there is. Trump seriously exposed, vulnerable.
EDIT 3: Wire fraud, bank fraud, money laundering are all on the table. Destruction of evidence, perjury, Jesus, it's getting worse in the parsing.
EDIT 4: Paraphrasing. "This is a seismic event." "They're looking for info that has not been made public." "President in extreme legal peril and doesn't have a legal team. Real crisis for him. Needs people equal to the historical [legal] moment."
EDIT 5: Ari Melber: (paraphrasing) "When the FEDS come in the game, loyalty becomes secondary to self preservation."
EDIT 6: Paraphrasing. "President is alone." [Opinion:] State AG's ready to present devastating charges so bad Trump is scared of pulling trigger and beginning spiral he cannot control due to inability to pardon state charges. Regardless, might not be able to act until president gets better, more competent council.
EDIT 7: Paraphrasing, watching multiple programs / news sources. "FEDS working brilliantly. Cutting off escape routes, limiting choices. Trump's glaring lack of competence coming into play, Trump unable to respond and losing power. Tuesday [today] will be defining moment in presidency based on his reaction. Investigation has metastasized. Gone beyond simple collusion investigation, quickly getting beyond Trump capability / competence to respond. Serious legal jeopardy."
EDIT 8: Conservative columnist George Will: "US might bring about regime change in Syria."
EDIT 9: Paraphrasing. President does not understand how attorney-client privilege works. Does not cover criminal behavior. Attorneys cannot break the law, pure and simple. If lawyer committed crimes on behalf of Stormy Daniels case, likelihood it is a pattern is high. Feds combing Cohen's files with fine tooth comb as we speak. Feds learning at geometric rate, seems we passed point of no return. Distraction, firing, confrontation now inevitable.
EDIT 10: Joe: (Paraphrasing) "Very bad news for Trump on all fronts." "Preet's Trump-appointed NY state AG pulled trigger, had serious goods. The AG is a Gulliani guy (Gulliani is mentor). Kills "conspiracy" talking point. "Shows Republicans finally put rule of law, country over party."
EDIT 11:(Paraphrasing) Feds feeling confident, have found probable, indisputable evidence crime(s) committed. Evidence vetted, signed off by relevant authorities, Trump-appointed or not. People who have seen evidence lining up behind law and order. Trump, who relies on loyalty, threats of lawsuits, gag orders, non-disclosure agreements, impotent in face of most powerful, competent, sober prosecutors on the planet. Amateur playing against professionals.
EDIT 12: Trump must beware the Cohen trap
>Mueller does not appear to have a compelling criminal case against Trump for collusion with the Russians. Indeed, Trump remains a “subject,” not a target, an unchanged status after more than a year of investigation and multiple cooperative witnesses. If Trump simply stays where he is, under cover, he could well run out this investigation without a charge. But that depends on him staying there.
>Cohen, however, may be just the right carrion to draw this wolf into the open.
>Like any good wolf trap, this set-up, first and foremost, protects the hunters. By referring the matter, Mueller and Rosenstein protected themselves from criticism of expanding the investigation. At the same time, they brought into the mix U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman, who Trump interviewed and nominated, as well as a neutral magistrate who signed the search warrant.
>Cohen now could be looking at serious criminal exposure and, if charged with campaign-finance and fraud violations, only two men will be able to deliver him from the quagmire of his own making: Trump and Mueller. The president could ultimately pardon Cohen, while the special counsel could give him a deal. Some at the Justice Department may be counting on Trump’s aggressive tendencies to do the rest. In running to Cohen’s rescue, the president could easily find himself the prize rather than the predator in this conflict.
[Unexplained in what capacity he could be found as the prize]
EDIT 13: Trump (earlier): "This is a pure and simple witch hunt." Trump on Twitter: "A TOTAL WITCH HUNT!!!"
EDIT 14: Morning Joe: (Paraphrasing) "Mentally unfit man about to make huge decision." Guest: "Footage of Trump's response 'disturbing'." "Will find way to lash out. President is cornered and has to make key decisions at crucial time."
EDIT 15: (Paraphrasing) [D] Tim Caine, Virginia (Morn Joe): Mueller needs room to finish job. / President clearly panicked. / Congress needs to protect Mueller. / Constitutional crisis serious possibility. / re: military action: Prez has no legal authority to wage war without congress. [except for] 2001 authorization, which is blank check to prez (confusing point).
EDIT 16: Ingraham returns, says liberal attempts to 'intimidate those who disagree with them' are 'Stalinist'.
EDIT 17: Opinion: Fascists showing flag. Democracy facing greatest test since McCarthy. Stare down between rule of law and fascism. How broadcasters, newsmakers, journalists, pundits, senators, lawmakers respond to threat to rule of law, today and near this day, will go down in history. Future questions will be: "How did you react to that moment?"
EDIT 18: Top post in T_D is Trump "Attorney–client privilege is dead!" tweet. Pinned: "Mueller Investigating Trump Over $150K Donation From Ukrainian Who Gave Clintons $13 Million"
EDIT 19: (Opinion) Reddit is alive with buzz, many people looking ahead to this day, curious how Trump will react. People expecting more shoes to drop. / reminder Comey book coming out April 17th.
EDIT 20: Kellyanne Conway's husband is trolling Trump on twitter, posts rules on how it works
https://twitter.com/gtconway3d/status/983672662517075968
Preet Bharara responds to Trump: "Long live the crime-fraud exception"

EDIT 21: It seems a mod has removed this post from the megathread for unexplained reasons. Ceasing live updates for now. (Seems it shows up as [DELETED]?)
In case anyone was wondering which book by James Comey they were referring to...
Today I've noticed the bots are out with "omg Comey found out on the View that he's been referred for criminal charges!" and "It's too bad for Comey that his book is such a bust, I was going to buy it but since no one likes it I won't waste my money."
Going hard today.
Edited to add: Comey's book is currently #1 on Amazon
2 Days after the release of his book: preorder it ppl

For those who are interested in the back story, I heartily recommend James Comeys' A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership. I'm on the last 40 pages and I really don't want the book to end ... just like an absorbing novel. The insight into how the Justice Department and the FBI work is outstanding. James Comey's voice is authentic and apparent on every page.
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind: This is the best book I have read in a very long time. This is about how our cultures, religions, and values were formed based on biology and psychology theories. I know that sounds boring but it is very interesting.
A Higher Loyalty: If you believe Comey your opinion will not change and if you do not believe Comey your opinion will not change. Meh, skip it.
[Dune] (https://www.amazon.com/Dune-Frank-Herbert/dp/0441172717/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1524527285&sr=1-1&keywords=dune) I do not read a lot of Sci-Fi but with the expected move coming u in a few years I thought I might get ahead if it. It was interesting but not exactly action-packed.
Leonardo Da Vinci The Walter Isaacson biographies about "geniuses" Steve Jobs, Ben Franklin, Albert Einstein are all interesting.
This makes me want to get the audio version. I can [pre-order] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1250192455/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_twi_har_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1519795733&sr=1-1&keywords=comey) it but wow, it's expensive.
It's easy enough [to confirm that] (https://www.amazon.com/Higher-Loyalty-Truth-Lies-Leadership/dp/1250192455/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1521224392&sr=8-1&keywords=james+comey).
Is it a bad thing that I've been counting down the days until the release of James Comey's book? I don't think I can forget his nonsense with Clinton, but I still want that book. I don't know/remember if this is allowed here, but here's a link to a it.
https://www.amazon.com/Higher-Loyalty-Truth-Lies-Leadership/dp/1250192455
That it's making the White House uncomfortable and is having people in the GOP trying to discredit Comey makes me think it's worth taking a look.
Sure.
