How many people in the Trump White House will end up going to jail?

How many are already involved in this cover-up?

How many have obstructed justice with their false comments intended to protect their Leader?

How many have knowingly lied to the American people?

Will any of them escape the grasp of criminality before it is too late?

They ARE the system now, so "the system" won't do a damn thing to bring them to justice.
