ok, put in your guesses. what is the most likely *realistic* outcome of the mueller investigations?

[Fiendish Thingy]

82. It depends on a lot of variables, especially the timing of the report, and the media's response

Of course, the details of the report are the most important variable. However, if the report, no matter how damning, is released before, say, August 2018, it will get lost and fade away, especially if the news media have a weak response in crafting a narrative, or give "equal time" or tolerate any false equivalencies to distract from Trump & Co's crimes.

I think a mid-to-late August release of the report, along with indictments of Flynn, Manafort, Page, Sater, and any member of Trump's family would have maximum impact leading into the mid-terms. Even better if Trump pardons any of them, as Republicans would have to answer to voters where they stand on impeachment. Even better if Trump is, indicted or not, named for obstruction. I bet we'll see a lot GOP rats fleeing the sinking Trump ship if that happens.

Even a military escalation with Korea or Iran wouldn't be able to totally distract from this report, if timed right. Nevertheless , I do agree, depending on the circumstances, it's possible that nothing will change, except perhaps the number of outraged memes of Facebook.
