1. Here is the concern:

Sure, there is a mountain of evidence of collusion, even treason if you define it appropriately, in my opinion.

Money laundering, etc.

But unless a STATE brings charges, it is up to the corrupt and no good Jeff Sessions and his department to do it.

I dont see that happening.

I want to be wrong, because if they skate, our laws mean nothing.

Is there an attorney here to explain it to me AGAIN, I forgot already how it works.

3. Mueller is authorized to prosecute on his own, he doesn't need Sessions

It's in his appointment letter from Rosenstein.

4. Oh shit, i did NOT know that or if I did , I forgot, no wonder trump has such

a "hard on" for him, so to speak.

THANKS for this, you MADE my DAY!

6. Excellent! Great to hear this!!! n/t

7. My concern is 67 votes in the Senate

I just do not see it happening no matter how clean cut the evidence is

8. If Trump is indicted, he will have no defenders in Congress

[Cosmocat]

9. All due respect, but that is pretty far removed

From the reality of Congress.

10. I don't think so for several reasons

1) If he is indicted, Mueller will throw the book at him and lay out all the facts, they will be damning and difficult to defend against.
2) They just showed they are unwilling to follow him on Russian sanctions. I am pretty sure the charges will include bribery and money laundering involving Russia. Once they have proof Russia has compromised Trump, are they going to decide it's okay to leave him in power?
3) Trump is already looking like a failed president. Next up is taxes. I think he won't be able to deliver on that too. Then what do they need him for? Pence will start looking awfully good. Alternatively, Trump will get the tax cuts through, and then what do they need him for?
4) Trump's popularity is slowly declining. If it continues to decline they will have less to fear from him.

2. But... but... its all a hoax by Democrats.

Faux news will be sobbing those words as the Feds are frog marching Trump into the back of an unmarked black van.

Hey, don't critique my dream fantasy!

5. Please, don't let it be a dream fantasy. nt
