Robert Mueller expected to arrest these five people in Donald Trump’s Russia scandal

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand what a dark era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. Advertising networks can't be counted on. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight, because someone has to.

In that regard we're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. We've launched a reader supported fund, and we've already raised $3760 and counting. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can contribute here. Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,

Special Counsel Robert Mueller has already arrested four people in Donald Trump’s Russia scandal, with two of them haing having pleaded guilty. Now comes the question of who’s next. Some names are easier to guess than others, based on existing grand juries and previous leaks. But now the experts are focusing on five names who could be the next to be arrested – and most of them are major players in the scandal.

We’ve already seen the arrests of Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Trump campaign adviser Rick Gates, along with the announcement of the earlier secret arrest of Trump adviser George Papadopoulos, and the recent plea deal by Michael Flynn. A source inside Trump’s inner circle has given five additional names to CBS News (link). On the list is former Trump adviser Carter Page, who testified to the House Intel Committee on Thursday that he did indeed meet with Russian government officials during his summer 2016 Moscow trip – and that he notified the campaign about it.

Trump campaign official Sam Clovis is also on the list; he reportedly testified before a Mueller grand jury earlier this year, he’s reportedly a cooperating witness. Trump’s longtime personal attorney Michael Cohen is on the list, which may explain why the Senate Intelligence Committee canceled his scheduled public testimony at the last minute without any resolution.

The two names that may raise the most eyebrows are Jared Kushner and Felix Sater. Kushner is Trump’s son-in-law, and it was reported earlier that he began cooperating with Robert Mueller in relation to the firing of FBI Director James Comey, suggesting that Kushner may be trying to fend off a possible arrest. Sater is a convicted Russian mafia money launderer who conducted significant real estate business with Donald Trump Jr and Ivanka Trump, suggesting that his arrest could be an attempt to get him to flip on Trump’s kids.
