Anybody care to take a guess at how charges against Rump will be executed? (Original Post) BigBearJohn Jul 2018 OP
Don't put the words "tRump" and "executed" in the same sentence in the OP. BigmanPigman Jul 2018 #1

I read too quickly sometimes and pick out key words. Those two popped out at me and well.....

Mueller's team keeps racking up crimes committed by Trump and his family while trying to get Trump to come sit down for an interview.

Trump keeps delaying, like he has been.

Eventually Mueller says "time to cut the crap" and issues a subpoena for Trump to testify.

Trump defies it. It goes to the courts.

While it works its way through the courts, Trump finally has his Saturday Night Massacre and gets rid of Rosenstein and everyone else in the line of succession that refuses to dismiss Mueller and his team.

Mueller and his team are dismissed.

A bevy of sealed indictments against Trump, Kushner, Trump Jr., etc. are unsealed and revealed to the public for the first time. Mueller's team had previously filed them but had requested that they be sealed because he knew that pardon-happy Trump would go nuclear as soon as the first indictment against him or a close family member was issued. Rather than derail the entire investigation by, say, indicting the president on obstruction of justice before they had uncovered all his other crimes, they simply sealed the indictments against him and his closest associates and kept filing them away as they continued to work to uncover their other crimes.

The alleged crimes by Trump and co. are made public. It will then be up to the American people and their elected officials to bring about justice. Rocked by the revelations, only the hardest of the hardcore Trump supporters will stand by him. It won't be enough to save him from being impeached by the Democratic-led House (yes, I assume this will all happen after the mid-term elections). It will then be up to a near 50/50 Senate to vote to remove him from office. I believe it will come up for a vote regardless of whether or not the Senate is in Republican or Democratic hands. Many Republicans vote to remove Trump from office, but not enough for the 2/3 margin needed.

We head into the 2020 elections with an indicted and impeached sitting president up for re-election. Americans won't make the same mistake they did in 2016: Republicans will get wiped out across the board. Trump resigns as president during the lame duck session, Pence pardons him, and the GOP brand is stained by their traitors for a generation. Watergate will be pushed by the wayside as this takes its place as "the scandal to end all scandals" for current and future generations of Americans.
