Rudy's toast. Barr will be disbarred. Pence will walk

Trump is going down for sure.

Pence has enough cover and he will cut a deal with Democrats.

Trump will go down with or without a pardon. State charges from NY will get him in the end.

Pompeo will get time just like Rudy.

Barr is slippery and will escape prosecution but he will never practice law again.

You heard it hear first.

I love your screen name and your signature line.

I often think of you and imagine you must have so many names in that scarf by now and there must be smoke coming off your fingertips.

These are the best of times...

However I think the Democratic Leadership will forgive Pence to heal the nation if he helps them convince Republican Senators to do the right thing and convict Trump. That and he does seem to be turning on Trump tonight...

Thought I would never see that.

Not after the water bottle shit.

Manafort picked him, for Pete's sake.
Who told Manafort to make Pence the VP candidate? Vladimir Putin, that's who.

with the launch codes is preferable to having the Twitler with them.

Cut a deal with the Senate republicans to convict and remove... and drop the charges against Pence... we will beat him next November

especially if it means he gets to pull the trigger to nuke Iran.

He has said as much to his fellow fundies.

They're going to try to pull every stunt possible before giving up. They are cooking something up as I type this.
The GOP is a slippery, slimy cult with a lot of money. They always get away with a slap on the wrist.
We are in a class war. This is much more than what meets the eye.

But I sure as hell hope we get there. I hope Schiff and Co. somehow get that server, that more people blow the whistle, etc.

We don't know what Atkinson told Congress, or what Volker will tell Congress. Or if any of the witnesses mentioned by the whistleblower will testify. We don't know if testimony behind closed doors can have the kind of impact we need it to have to sway public opinion, which Republican Senators will be watching closely. We don't know if Schiff and Co. will get the server or other information that they need. Unfortunately, people are able to ignore subpoenas without consequences, because the process of holding someone accountable can take years.

There's so much we don't know yet. I want Trump gone so, so badly, and I'm trying to be hopeful. Republicans in the House and Senate know that if they remove Trump from office, it'll likely splinter the Republican electorate and make 2020 a landslide for Dems. It's going to take a lot for them to convict Trump. Cult 45 will revolt if they do.
