BTRTN: What Would Impeachment Really Look Like? Not Pretty...For Anyone.

Born To Run The Numbers pauses to contemplate what the United States might experience if Donald Trump became the first President removed from office through impeachment:

http://www.borntorunthenumbers.com/2018/04/btrtn-what-would-impeachment-really.html

Excerpts: "In short, Cohen appears to be patient zero for just about any and every area of possible Trump malfeasance. Pundits were salivating at the prospect that this could lead to a plea bargain and eyewitness evidence from Trump’s most intimate advisor outside his own family. Have smoking gun, will travel. In the grand liberal wet dream, Cohen would lead the Conga line of dunces who have served as Donald Trump’s enablers, fixers, thugs, campaign advisors and Cabinet Officers as they parade one by one in front of a Senate impeachment trial and sing their songs of money laundering, fraud, obstruction of justice, and the big “C,” – the cancer on this Presidency – collusion. When the roll call rolls and the bells toll in this Democratic fantasy, 68 Senators give Trump the thumbs down, and the President is measured for an orange jump suit in the Federal Confinement Resort and Spa in Cumberland, Maryland. The next day, tens of millions of Trump voters denounce the former President and admit to their neighbors that they had made a terrible mistake in voting for him. Beams of sunlight slice through the clouds and the United States of America reverts back to the precise cultural coordinates that had been in place on November 7, 2016.

Dream on, lefty..."

And it's a long ways from being over. Watergate took over 2 years, and the real fun hasn't even started.

Yes, I totally agree with you. The entire article was written under the assumption that Mueller would not be ready to present his findings until well after the mid-terms...
