37. It's partly why Stormy & McDougal stories are worth monitoring

Melania would be wise to cash in while she still can and I bet someone has already suggested it or is working on it for her. if Melania waits until he's impeached, it might be too late. The unprotected sex with women who work in the sex trade probably provides her with a legal out.

All this stuff going on with Mueller and the other lawsuits and/or the very recent UAE Trump scandal make people nervous. Trump is in real estate/properties which require financing to leverage his wealth and his businesses require financing. When bankers get nervous, they start to call their loans or increase interest rates. That puts greater pressure on Trump to cash flow his businesses/properties - which is probably how he got involved with the Russians in the first place. When potential customers get nervous, they take their business elsewhere. Once impeached, the Russian oligarchs will call their loans because he is no longer of much value to them. There has to be a fairly high risk that Trump's financial house of cards is going to come tumbling down.

So political cost is not the only concern for Trump ... or his wife and Trump may well die in prison though it won't likely be penniless because he'll have pensions or some dough stashed in things folks can't touch (unless they nail him on tax evasion ..).
