In reply to the discussion: ok, put in your guesses. what is the most likely *realistic* outcome of the mueller investigations? [View all]Orrex
(67,223 posts)Trump will simply pardon whoever Mueller goes after, and then Trump will be absolutely indestructible for the remainder of his two-term presidency. Assuming that it's only two terms.
Further, the emboldened GOP easily retain their congressional majority in 2018 and 2020. Further, they'll take the failed Mueller investigation as carte blanche to accelerate their privatization of the government, with the complete dismantling of the social safety net and unprecedented giveaways to the 1%.
Trump himself will profit hugely from Mueller's swing-and-a-miss, and he'll openly use his office to rake in millions or billions for himself and his family, all while working in service to his master Putin.
In the wake of a failed Mueller investigation, the GOP will refuse any other call for investigations, crying "how much more taxpayer money do the Democrats want to waste on this fruitless witch hunt?"
As always, my esteemed fans from Conservative Sewer and The Disasterist can go fuck themselves.
