Congress can hold hearings, call Mnuchin and other administration witnesses, demand documents and file suits, but Trump will stonewall everything. We've already been through this during the whole $400M-used-to-extort-Ukraine thing. Schiff already warned us Trump would be "emboldened."

And even if hard-working reporters manage to uncover evidence of massive theft and fraud, like video showing pallets of cash being delivered to Mar-a-Lago in the dead of night (remember the video showing pallets of cash arriving in Baghdad?), Trump's DOJ, FBI and IGs will do nothing. Susan Collins might express concern, but that's as far as it will go.

Lots of alleged connections to financiers of the day - Rebozo, Hughes - and the plumbers were paid off.
