14. I think that there is a legal way for him to stop the investigation.

He tells Rosenstein to "close down the investigation". If Rosenstein refuses, Trump can fire him and order the next in line for deputy ag to close the investigation. Totally legal.

But Trump doesn't have much time before Mueller hits him and his family with conspiracy charges.

The quickest way for Trump is to order someone - the Secret Service- the FBI- to physically close down the investigation under the scam that he has detected treason by Mueller . His lapdog Pompeo will be glad to arrest Mueller.

Time is of the essence. Trump will not go quietly at the request of the democrats or even the republicans. The true way to view Trump is not as an "incompetent", "crazy", "stupid" president but as a natural demagogue who will destroy any power centers (media, judiciary, congress, even the republican party&quot that can prevent him from assuming control of the government. He can do this legally just as demagogues before him have relied on subservient legislatures to support their take-overs of the government. Putin has a legislature . . .
