47. Short answer: A lot

Longer answer: A whole lot. But it doesn't matter if his presidency is endangered months from now or tomorrow, Trump could decide to go out in a blaze of crimes against humanity at any time. Not comforting, but it's reality since January 20.

Yes, the legal system is slow, tedious, and often delays obvious justice. I want all the evidence out, a fair chance for those criminals to answer the charges with all due process, and then convict them for everything they're guilty of. I don't want any sore losers having a leg to stand on. I don't want any witch-hunt whining or stab-in-the-back legend lingering on. Leave them with nothing but whataboutery. "What about her emails?!" is going to sound extra plaintive stacked up against the mountain of corruption I think is out there on the Trump administration.
