I think he will resign rather than turn his tax returns over to Mueller.

[MoonRiver]

I'm sure they will be subpoenaed, and no way will Chumpy let his dirty dealings see the light of day.

[Siwsan]

1. I'm anticipating some sort of 'health crisis' to suddenly manifest itself

Then, of course, he will whine about how it is all our fault.

[MoonRiver]

2. Yep, and white supremacists around the world will turn him into a martyr.

[Siwsan]

8. And I'm more than a little concerned about the back lash from them & the kool aid crowd

From reading some of the comments on Facebook, last night, they are already ramping up the delusionally nasty. My Senator posted on Facebook, about the Special Prosecutor being appointed, and it was like someone popped the cork off of a beaker of toxic bacteria.

[MoonRiver]

10. It is scary, but less so than not doing anything to stop that maniac.

Crazy times!

[Siwsan]

13. Oh, yes. Absolutely!

We need to remove ALL of the rot from the administration.

[MoonRiver]

14. The domino effect! Or, quoting Agatha Christie, "and then there were none!"

Maybe all this will all come down right about the time of the 2018 elections. Wouldn't that be sweet!

[Orsino]

22. That would run completely counter to one of the central Trump myths.

I wonder how he will present himself as anything other than the healthiest head of state in world history, a man's man who in no way could possibly have ED so stop saying that.

[Siwsan]

23. True, but this degree of stress could wreck havoc on the health of actual healthy people

I'm thinking the next month, or so, might contain a game changing event.

[Orrex]

3. That's all well and good, but if he violated the Espionage Act...

The it doesn't matter if he's posing as the president or not. Mueller can still go after him.


For that matter, why should Trump care? His worshipers would still exalt his name even if every penny of his fortune came straight out of Putin's slush fund.

[Sienna86]

4. Mueller will subpoena them from IRS

That's how it works in a federal criminal investigation.

[RKP5637]

6. Yep, Trump will have no choice in the matter. n/t

[MoonRiver]

7. I think he'll cut a deal.

I leave if you stop the investigation. May not work for this little weasel this time, but I believe he's going to try.

[beachbum bob]

5. whether trump resigns or not will NOT stop the investigation from going forward as the entire inner

circle, including bannon, trump's kids, pence....could all be part of it, in on it or knew about it...its called conspiracy and if true....charges of high treason could result

[duncang]

9. I think they will be dragging him out from a corner in the WH

Curled up in a ball with his thumb in his mouth. The heat on him is just started. And he has a very fragile ego.

[MoonRiver]

12. Never in his privileged, debauched life has he faced anything like this.

Bout time.

[kentuck]

11. When it gets to the point where he is personally threatened....

He will resign.

Unfortunately, he will probably get away with all his crimes when he makes a deal?

He will resign if they drop the investigation.

[Goodheart]

15. Resignation wouldn't help him in a criminal matter.

[MoonRiver]

16. Well, criminals cut deals all the time.

Nixon did.

[NeoGreen]

17. Even if he does, and Pence pardons him...

...the NY AG Schneider can still investigate and prosecute for State crimes.

This is what I am calling the "Trump Card".

[Progressive dog]

18. Trump will only resign if he has a plea deal in place

Once he realizes he isn't winning, he'll use the Presidency as leverage for a better plea deal.

[Javaman]

19. his massive ego will prevent him from resigning.

he will go down with the ship, flailing about every inch of the way.

[tinrobot]

20. Resigning won't cancel the subpoena.

Nor will it stop the special prosecutor.

[malaise]

21. OK then
