"No Matter What Flynn Says, Trump & His Family Will Not Go To Jail" ( I hope they are wrong)

(CNN)When Michael Flynn walked into a federal courthouse in Washington and entered into a plea and cooperation deal, some people thought this marked the beginning of the end for Donald Trump's presidency. Could Flynn be the man to take down this President, and maybe even send him to jail?

There is little doubt that the Office of Special Counsel has been busy. We knew Robert Mueller and his team was aggressively dropping grand jury subpoenas to gather evidence, and interviewing both major and minor players in the Russia investigation drama that continues to unfold. And now, with the criminal indictments of several Trump confidants, we know that the special counsel's work is bearing fruit.

But where does this all end? Will Flynn's cooperation lead to criminal charges against Trump or a member of his family? While we don't know what Flynn has said or will say as he cooperates with Mueller's investigation, there is no reason to believe that Trump or anyone related to him will ever face prison time.

I don't think they will indict a sitting President. But will uncover enough to prompt the Congress to impeach. Maybe he resigns, maybe he doesn't.

First, need 23 Republican members of the House to defect.

Next, you need 19 GOP Senators to vote conviction.

That assumes ALL Dems and Independents are on board.

Can you name 19 Republican Senators with integrity?

I can't.
