and that's not counting the Mueller investigation. I still think he'll declare victory at some point prior and quit, thinking the hounds won't keep after him if he just leaves. Particularly if the mid terms are as much a blood bath as it appears they will be. I think the relief from such a move is too much for him to resist. He's made strategic blunders like that many times in the past, ignoring relatively sane advice. I don't think he fully understands that once you're in the DOJ's cross hairs, you can't just walk away. And his legal team aren't a bunch or Rhodes Scholars either.
