i.e. documented collusion between the Donald and Russians. . . Evidence showing the tRump campaign was in on the whole thing, etc. . . .
WTF happens next? Is it the same scenario as an impeachment? I don't think he could ever take office, nor could his VP. . .
How the fuck would this be handled? His entire CAMPAIGN is suspect now, so I can't see how they could choose a successor under THESE circumstances? ("these" meaning IF President Obama, etc released a smoking gun.. . .)
On edit-- I am 110% certain that Obama would be delighted to release this information, as he would be protecting the country.

You don't make fun of a disabled man if you really want to win a presidential election - nor do you call AAs inherently lazy, or make the statements Trump made throughout his campaign.
The whole time, he was wearing a "Don't vote for me" sign. Since he won, his cabinet picks have said "I TOLD you not to vote for me!"

If Trump was not in on it, there won't be any potential impact on his becoming Prez. How much can we complain, when we interfere in elections all the time.
Sadly we are checking off all the hopes to prevent him from taking office -- Wisconsin actually ended up in Trump gaining a few votes, Electoral College likely won't change the results, and now this if no real evidence it found that Trump was behind it in a material way.
