Trump will continue to do crimes

He went after the Ukraine bribe/extortion right after the Mueller investigation ended out without indicting him.
Now he will be impeached and as soon as that is over, knowing he will not be convicted in the Senate, he will work hard to steal the election.

I am for impeachment, I am just observing how this Ogre goes unchecked.

It's hard to say if they should have made the impeachment broader and stretched it out if he would have been more careful going forward.

But for now I see Trump next year making Nixon look like a choirboy.

and international crimes by tarnishing our law enforcement institutions with the "deep state" label. But hopefully they are somehow able to monitor him. We really need forensic accountants all over his finances, past and present.

4. I've come to the conclusion

that he just can't help himself. He has to do corrupt things, regardless of the consequences. It is his nature. I don't think he knows how to stop himself. Whenever he looks at a situation, he looks for the underhanded, corrupt solution, even when the more honest one might serve him better.

He is a truly damaged person and totally beyond repair.

It's like when he announces a policy which purpose only seems to be to hurt people.

Some of his decisions are mind-blowing and in the end, I have to come to the conclusion that he just wants to be mean. It is like he is lashing out at all the people who rejected him throughout his life, but a lot of innocent people have to suffer in the process.

Because he has a base that will back his every move and a populace that has become numb to the conservative smear machine. It's going to be quite the shit show.

The question is: How bad can it get before the next election?

Will the Republicans be able to cover it up?

11. He will retaliate against whistleblower and the witnesses who told truth about his actions

As soon as Senate acquits him, he will attempt to retaliate more against the whistleblower and the witnesses any way possible but he has been told by his advisors to wait until impeachment trial is over. Of course Marie Yovanovich was already recalled and Lt. Col. Vindman no longer has his NSC oversight duties in WH but we can expect further moves against the others as punishment.
