General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: ok, put in your guesses. what is the most likely *realistic* outcome of the mueller investigations? [View all]davsand
(13,446 posts)I expect a couple convictions--Manafort being one, for example--but I doubt highly that the orange assailant will be impeached. I think the AGs working the state level investigations will turn up enough stuff to go after some money laundering charges on various trump family members and maybe even Donnie himself.
Having said that, I do think the GOP will have a conversation with him offering him the opportunity to resign "for the good of the country" and to protect his family from prosecution. I do think he and Bannon have managed to piss off enough of the heavy hitter GOP members that they will try and get him gone before he completely screws the GOP majorities in the House and Senate in 2018. There have already been a couple comments made about the GOP wanting to push tax reform through so they will have something to point to that they've accomplished, and that's significant, IMO.
But, given the shit show, and the general level of insanity we've seen at work here, it's possible he might get us all blown to hell and gone before anything can be done about him. THAT is always a possibility too.
