1. With this cabal?

More than likely.

2. hoping

3. Louise has been talking about their complicity for a while

and that it would take out EVERYONE down to Hatch, who would be Prez if all acted upon.

Remains to be seen. Wildcard in ALL of this is, if true -- once allegations, facts, crimes become common knowledge ... how much continued GOP obstruction occurs ....??

I don't BET on Louise, but don't discount, either.

Time will tell, and good to know what possibilities are out there.

4. President Hatch

[Freethinker65]

5. But if most of what she reported pans out, the GOP is toast

6. It would explain why Ryan, et al. are not doing the patriotic thing. nt

[PearliePoo2]

7. All the way to Hatch? Holy Complicit Batman!

If Ryan is 'dirty', could the House elect a new Speaker and he/she would get the nod?

8. Just curious, but who's after Hatch?

When do we get a Dem in the pecking order?

[Ezior]

9. No dems in the line of succession

Best you could hope for is Mattis, he is 6th and Independent. Pence, Ryan, Hatch, Tillerson, Mnuchin, Mattis...

Further down the list there are 2 more Independents:

Of course, if some of the Reps or Indeps show some decency and we have evidence that the GOP somehow stole the election, then maybe Hatch or Mattis could make Hillary VP and resign in an attempt to rescue what is left of the GOP for the elections to come.

10. Aaargh. Thank you.

11. But If We Re-Take The House In 2018.........

..........and this thing takes that long to pan out, it could be President.............Pelosi? Would Nancy Pelosi be the Speaker of the House?

[obamanut2012]

13. Yes, Pelosi would be elected SOTH again

[obamanut2012]

14. No Dems at all -- I wish Haley was in the line of succession

She is horrible, but not horrible like this.

Also, remember, if it's something big, the entire GOP Admin and leadership will be disgraced, and it will get very interesting.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. wish mccain was

[Foamfollower]

16. Rex Tillerson comes after Hatch.

12. If it is that big...

I wonder if 3 or more gop senators are implicated-can you say "democratic majority" pending special elections?

[obamanut2012]

15. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee that could happen

McConnell is obviously in it up to his eye teeth.

[world wide wally]

17. This thing isfucking Yuuuuuuge

But will we have the resolve to pursue it to the ultimate conclusion?

[Nevernose]

18. "They" would never let it get that far

Because "They" hate chaos. Not good for business. Even if the FBI has the goods and releases them publicly, it won't go anywhere. Too many jobs, too much money at stake. Republicans will use Fox and Breitbart and RT to bury us in a blizzard of bullshit.

36% is apparently too dumb or too selfish to realize how badly they're being played.

My personal guess is, if Trump DOES go down as president, the figurative bleeding stops at Pence.

19. What if Hatch retires in 2018?
