At this link, it is clear that Trump was warned about Russian interference, but he welcomed it

At this link, at Talking Points Memo, it is stated that Trump was told, if there was any interference, or efforts of such, that he should take it to the FBI

So, Trump, and his group were warned, but they not only ignored warnings, they welcomed Russian interference in the election..
Question: Will he get away with it? Trump seems to have gotten away with a lot in his life. But, this is different. Perhaps, after this tax vote, some ...just some Republicans will join the effort against Trump. But the question is still the same...Will he get away with it?
.. So far, what it looks like, is not often what it is. Mueller and his team are persistent, and they are not new at this. But, I really don't know.

My bet is that the GOP leaders will do nothing without outside pressure from the voters.

This was a concerted, adjoined effort by Putin, KGB or GRU as it is now known, multiple others like Flynn/McConnell/Ryan and many more, to cooperate with the enemy to steal the election and not just the prez election

Trump is an idiot. Robert Mueller is not.
Do the math!

(4,428 posts)But having seen the people at the top of these types of things walk away over and over again over many years, I think he is probably going to get away with it.
Many of his retinue will go down. But not Trump. This is the way it has always played out before. With the corrupt congress that we have, he will probably even be able to serve his full term no matter what comes out. The only way to change that would be to take the House in 2018 and somehow line up 67 votes to convict him in the Senate.
Im not holding my breath.

(38,453 posts)If Trump falls, will he shut up when he is gone? I hope he falls, and doesn't get away with this..He doesn't know, but the fall is going on now. His approval is between 32, and 35 percent. Very very low..and falling. I sure hope he makes the total trip down and out. His arrogance is totally disgusting..........

(2,957 posts)If yes, then he most certainly will NOT be getting away with it.
If no, then he probably will get away with it all. Too big and rich to go down.
