Just in time for back to school it's....A GRAND JURY!!!

So, as you know by now, it happened.

Yesterday (Thursday August 3, 2017) Special Counsel and former FBI Director Robert Mueller's investigation into connections between Russia and the administration/campaign of electoral vote winner Donny Trump reached a turning point of sorts when it was announced that Mueller would convene a Grand Jury on the matter.  This takes the investigation onto a level of seriousness that can't easily be denied.

What does this mean?  One simple explanation is that there's something serious in what happened between Russia and the Trump crowd.  At this point in time we're not entirely sure what it is (though we have ideas).  However, if this whole thing was a 'nothing burger" (to steal the right's latest co-opted and overused phrase) or a "Witch hunt" (as electoral vote winner Donny likes to tweet) it's unlikely that it would've reached this stage.  Would an investigation still be happening?  Probably, but if there was nothing there it would likely be dotting the i's and crossing the t's at this point.  So let's ask the question that;s on our minds: "What caused this?"

When I say we don't know exactly what in the search so far led to a Grand Jury being impaneled, there are good reasons to mention this.  For example, since the investigation began more lawyers were hired and reports emerged that the investigation may look into any possible business dealings on top of whether there was collusion in the actual election,  In addition, the long, winding, and sometimes confusing, road has been filled with Donny's minions feeding a mix of lies they later got caught on, reports of forgotten disclosures on forms required to work at the White House, and, of course, the infamous Donald Jr meeting with Russia where a draft statement that it was about adoption was exposed by Donny Jr. via a string of tweets where attached e-mails found that they were looking for dirt on Hillary Clinton.  And this is the stuff we know about.  With the investigation having access or trying to access information we don't have means there's something more serious to the potential rot that has gone down in the last couple of years with candidate Donny's campaign turned electoral vote winner Donny's administration.

There is also another possibility that means, even if the connection between people affiliated with electoral vote winner Donny and Russia were only moderately dangerous, that a Grand Jury was needed.  What got covered up?

We already know that covering up has gone down.  While the most recent was the leak that revealed that electoral vote winner Donny in fact dictated the infamous original statement that his son's meeting with a Russian lawyer on the campaign trail was about adoption (a rationale sunk like a winning blow in a game of Battleship when Donny Jr tweeted out pics of the e-mails), Donny;'s behavior since the investigation started has given the impression that something is being hidden.  Whether it's his alleged role in trying to get the Seth Rich murder conspiracy or their constant attempts to claim Hillary Clinton is actually the guilty one not them the past few months have shown that the more dirt gets uncovered the more Donny and company want to present things as if there was nothing to cover up.

So what's behind the ned for a Grand Jury?  Is it election collusion?  Something unsavory in Donny's financials that raised red flags?  A cover up that fits the description of the phrase, "it's not the crime, it's the cover up?"  At this point it may be anyone;s guess.  What is known now is that there's something serious on some level that needs to be brought to light.  Regardless of what happens with the Grand Jury, we now realize nobody can say with any honesty or seriousness that there was nothing going on between the current administration and Russia.  We just need to find out what exactly it was.
