When dozens of people are indicted, Trump is charged with multiple crimes, Trump voters will not know what the fuck has hit them. At first they will fight reality but in the end they will surrender to it. Just like they did with bush and the Iraq war.
I said this before, Trump voters will become infamous.

(25,816 posts)I'm thinking that at best there will be a small handful of new indictments, Trump will be an "unindicted co-conspirator", Mueller will file a report with Congress which will do nothing.

If he does get bit, his supporters will just slither away like the BushCo. voters did and all you will hear are denials of ever voting for him.

(31,261 posts)A lot of unsavory people support that clown, Nazis, actual racist cops, people that feel they have no obligation to help fund the society they live in. Better prepare yourself for the possibility of bloodshed, those people will not go into the night lightly, they think that they are entitled to tell the rest of us how to live our lives.
Yes, they turned on Bush after Bush proved to be incompetent, but they also launched virulent attacks and name calling on a very good President Obama. Expect those people to raise hell once democrats have control again, and we must be ready to confront them and put them down if things come to that point. They know nothing about civility, it is only domination for them.

(34,661 posts)the Trump Crime Syndicate's final move. The firing of Rosenstein,and at the same time, removing Mueller with the total shut down of Mueller's Team of Investigator's . What to watch for in the coming days is,Ryan or McConnell inserting legislation into the Budget Agreement canceling funding for Mueller and his team.
Hopefully Mueller has made arrangements to protect his work product with a State AG . Think we all know what Trump's Supporters are up to,destroy any all of Mueller's investagation and then go after any and all Democaratic Senators and Congressman involved in any and all Investagtive hearings.

And unlike some here, I don't think Trump will fire Mueller. If he gets a Trump guy in to replace Rachel Brand (and i suspect Rosenstein has already recused himself and just not announced it yet), I think they'll micro-manage the investigation into irrelevance. I think the White House understands that the timeline is much longer than we would like it to be, and he's quite happy to have his minions poke holes in the investigation.
I would bet money, that behind the scenes, there are dozens of lawyers and investigators going over every second of Mueller's, and everyone on his team's, life. Trump plays dirty, and people's lives will be ruined. The Strzok and Page drama is just the beginning. We're going to hear all kinds of shit come out about all kinds of people.

(46,166 posts)I always figure they have an out if they declare that he lied to them and so they'll turn their backs on him. There's a shred of respectability in that.
But I have my doubts because I know someone who still believes that Nixon was innocent. Not that he just got a raw deal - that he was innocent without a doubt. So there you go.
But I sure hope you're right. In the end that would be earth shattering to the Trump-Russia coalition.
