Trump has been strangely silent on Twitter.
Rumors are flying that Mueller now has the bank info.
Time to sort the laundry.
One suspects that his lawyers have finally taught him what self incrimination means.
We will see how it all pans out. It is certainly interesting whichever way it goes. I still say it will come to not a lot and there will be some upset people in America.
These things usually end not with a bang but with a whimper. The machine will protect itself as no one wants rioting in the streets. They will get him by the balls and he will be forced to resign - although it will be for "personal reasons" and he will "want to spend more time with his family". That is how things usually end over here.
We haven't been letting people who're ousted by the Weinstein effect resign with dignity. I don't think there'll be any pretense of Trump resigning "for personal reasons" (except maybe by Trump himself).
Nope, Trump will not resign.
Unfortunately or fortunately, the Democrats are up to their armpits in corruption as are the GOP establishment. Trump has a lot of leverage and no regard for political norms. I have no doubt that if the "machine" wishes to take out Trump they will AND they will be successful BUT he will not go down easy and there will be metaphorical blood on the walls. He will take out a lot of people as will his surrogates and supporters AND a dangerous new precedent will be set in politics that will hurt both sides for years to come.
I like a good trainwreck as much as the next person and probably more. I just do not think they have anything of real consequence. I think from here it is a matter of the Democrats and the Establishment GOP trying to construct a lot of things together to try to make a pretence of a case look like anything but what it really is, the fact that they hate the guy, and pretend it is worthy of deposing him, OR not. They will say things like "Whilst Don Junior did not actually colude with Russia to affect the election he certainly appears to have had the intent", "Whilst you may not have reached out to Putin before the election, you had conversations about doing so well before and did once you were President", "Whilst you did not stop the investigation into Russia, you did fire James Comey, and whilst you did not explicitly say that he had to go easy on Flynn or that he must go easy on him nor direct him to stop pursuing Flynn, you did ask whether he could"
All of these things singular are o no consequence. Stack all these things up together and together they have more weight. The truth is and has been thus far though, none of that is criminal and pretty pedestrian. If they make a case based on these things then they risk being picked apart and exposed as the beat up it is and IF he is forced out of office on these things then as I say, it will get very messy and set a BAD precedent for any future leader.
