How far are we from a "constitutional crisis"?

12. I'll say the unpopular...

...no, were not there yet.

Thus far, everything is working under the rule of law. Nixon created a problem when he fired the independent counsel...as a result, he was going to be impeached and removed from office. He chose the more honorable method and resigned. Never mind that he was advised that the other option was to involve the military. He chose NOT to do so. And as a result, is considered by a number of historians..despite DU's purists, more of a statesman. He had the option to fling shit at the fan, and didn't.

Trump hasn't had any official charges, enough linkage to corruption, etc. as of yet. There is enough "plausible deniability" in place currently. And as much as we like to liken Trump to a "dumb ass"...how do we know that isn't all an act? His subordinates take the fall, while he walks away free. Even if that means his own children take the hit...as long he escapes unscathed, he's content.

I'm resigned to the fact that, Trump will be impeached or resign, but their will not be enough linkage. He will play the part of "I didn't do anything wrong, it was all my staff" defense...and his supporters will eat it up....and subscribe to his new "Trump" channel. In the end, I think this has been about his media presence. Being "President" has given him enough credence for his next business venture.

Oh and yes, I anticipate he will walk free. If GWB and Cheney can get away Scott free without any repercussions to their war crimes, well, Trump hasn't committed anything on their level as of yet..its all been domestic. Thus far, its all been diplomatic losses, granted very critical, but none the less, he hasn't started a senseless war...well...not yet.
