OK, smart people at DU - what are your thoughts on how this will all play out? I am at a loss.. [View all]

shocked, depressed, overwhelmed. I've never seen a human being such such hubris, such gall, such daily destruction. It is now at the mocking stage - the whole "I am so rich and powerful that I can do what I want and no one can stop me" thing.

I know this is all happening fast - Watergate took a long time to unfold and toss Nixon (well, self tossed, I guess) - but Russia? Really? Not a single repub stepping up and putting country- our futures - before party?

There are many scenarios....been trying to think this all through since the Comey thing broke last night.

So - what do you think? How will this all end up playing out?
