https://www.salon.com/2019/12/21/trump-must-remain-in-power-to-stay-out-of-prison-watch-what-he-does-after-senate-acquits-him/The danger of impeaching Trump without removing him from office has always been that we will have blown the last check we have on him. When the Senate lets him off without even a slap on the wrist, Trump will be even more unrestrained than ever. Steel yourself. Were about to get Donald Trump squared.
The last time he felt hed gotten away with his crimes was when special counsel Robert Mueller failed to find evidence of a conspiracy between Trumps campaign and the Russians during the 2016 election. Less than 24 hours after Mueller lamely testified as much to Congress, an apparently giddy Trump picked up the phone and called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and tried to get yet another foreign leader to help him steal an election. He offered Zelensky a bribe to get him to investigate his likely opponent in 2020, Joe Biden, and tried to strong-arm Zelensky into making Ukraine the scapegoat for the 2016 Russian hacking of Democratic emails.
He wont be able to stop himself from doing it again. Hes not going to stop at doubling down. Hell triple down on everything hes pulled over the last four years.
Hes going to call Putin and promise to lift the sanctions if he chips in to get him re-elected. Hell call Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the president of Turkey. Hell talk to President Andrej Duda of Poland. Hell reach out for help from every wannabe Mussolini from South America to Singapore. And hell get it. Theyll find ways to slip him money under the table. Theyll turn loose hit squads of trolls to infect American social media with campaign propaganda.

(4,379 posts)1. I have posted about this before. You are correct.
If Trump is acquitted he will unleash hell upon America because his freedom depends on it.

The more people will turn on him. He will be a victim of his own and Putin's success.
