please, STAY HYDERATED

The beat will go on…even without Bobby.

Federal and state prosecutors are/will be pursuing about a dozen other investigations that largely grew out of the Russian investigation, ALL but ensuring that a legal threat will continue to loom over Donald John Trump.

For starters, the Southern District of New York’s reputation for nonpartisanship – and history of autonomy from the Justice Department in Washington, giving it the nickname “Sovereign District” – may make it less vulnerable to attacks from the president and his cronies.

Perhaps some prosecutorial brilliance, from the Southern District, can be mustered to challenge ! the constitutional interpretation of the rule prohibiting lawsuits against a sitting president and find an exception for felony indictment.

This interpretation needs to have a serious group of eyes look at…

In addition to the folks at the Southern District, most of the investigations focus on Trump or his family business or a cadre of his advisers and associates, according to the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and New York Times, ALL familiar with court records on these investigations.

They are being conducted by officials from Los Angeles to Brooklyn, with about half of them being run by the United States attorney’s office in Manhattan.

Unlike the Mueller investigation, whose mandate was largely focused on links between the Trump campaign and the Russian government’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, the federal prosecutors in Manhattan take an expansive view of their jurisdiction.

Such authority has enabled them, along with FBI agents, to scrutinize a broader orbit around the president, including his family business.

Goggle: RICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Michael Dean Cohen, the president’s former lawyer and fixer, aka “The Rat” – the gift that keeps on giving.

The precise number of federal investigations around the country that have grown out of the special counsel’s work remains unknown because such inquiries are conducted in secret.

But, what we do know, with a high level of certainty, is Bobby’s office farmed out strands of its inquiry to at least three other United States attorneys’ offices, including in Brooklyn, the District of Columbia and the Eastern District of Virginia.

And, the best part of ALL these investigations, the cost will NOT have to picked up by the taxpayer(s), thanks to ALL of the assets of Paulie Manafort being frozen by the courts.

Hip, hip…
