Go with what I continue to post.
Mueller is coming.
The clown is done.
I have described before what it means for Trump to be done, and it includes many things.
Any of what happens to Trump has to do with what Mueller finds and under Mueller's timeline. I have never put a timeline on Mueller's findings, so while I still THINK it is very likely he won't make it to the end of his first term, I am not guaranteeing that, and I've said that before. I have the patience to wait for Mueller's investigation to reach its end.
I do believe and predict that what Mueller finds will lead to Trump's impeachment if he is still in office at that point, and that it will be bad enough for even a Republican-controlled Senate to convict and remove him. If he is no longer in office when Mueller wraps up his investigation, Trump will suffer severe financial punishment, possible loss of his businesses, and perhaps even jail time or house arrest.
What will happen:
1) Obstruction of Justice is a for sure thing. Firing Comey (and admitting it was because of Russia investigation), attempting to get Sessions to not recuse himself, and then helping draft the letter that was misleading about Don Jr's Trump Tower meeting are all easily Obstruction of Justice. There will be more examples too. This is enough to get a likely Democrat-controlled House after the 2018 elections to impeach him. Probably NOT enough to get the likely still Republican-controlled Senate to convict. IF he is impeached (but not convicted) before the 2020 election, he will not win re-election. He is on shaky ground with that now anyway, but without the impeachment, he still has a shot to win in 2020. Need to see what other Republicans challenge him and who the Democrat challenger is before I can know for sure.
2) Money Laundering is the next in line of possibilities against Trump. So many red flags against Trump with regard to this. IF this comes up at the same time as Obstruction of Justice, AND there is a Russian connection to his money laundering, this WILL be enough for impeachment and a Senate conviction and removal from office. If there is no Russian connection to the money laundering, he may be able to stave off removal from office.
3) Finally is the issue of conspiracy with Russia. IF this is proven, that is enough to get him removed from office and perhaps also face jail time. While I believe this and the money laundering SHOULD mean he spends time in jail, I am not confident yet that he will spend time in jail. The conspiracy will fall under the umbrella of violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. This will be the hardest to prove, but there is a lot of smoke there.
So, the above things all have to do with the Mueller investigation, NOT including the Stormy Daniels situation. The Stormy Daniels situation also adds possible campaign finance violation.
The above enumerations don't include all the reasons why there is smoke, and I won't type them all out here, but we (and Mueller is looking) need to look at Trump's associates including Roger Stone, Felix Sater, Rob Goldstone. We need to also consider the lack of integrity of those associated with his campaign...Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Rick Gates, George Papadopolous, Alex van der Zwaan.
Trump just today threw his lawyer Michael Cohen under the bus, and if Cohen decides to spill the beans on Trump, then Trump WILL spend time in jail...perhaps a lot of time.
None of the above includes women other than Stormy Daniels coming after him, the state of New York investigating him.
So, the best case scenario for Trump is that he is re-elected in 2020 and is impeached later but not convicted. That seems a tall order. More likely is that he is impeached and loses re-election, but every day there is a bigger and bigger possibility of some serious legal and financial punishment.
I reserve the right going forward to declare that Trump now WILL be going to jail. Right now, I am not willing to say that, but it becomes more and more possible every day.
When this all comes out, at a minimum, Trump will be ruined financially and politically...that is how he is done.
Mueller is coming.
