What will become of tRump?

Aren't the Russians and Israelis pretty much done with him?

I cant imagine, especially Putin, that they want anymore revelations leaking out of his mouth.

What about these investigation?
I am sure Putin doesn't want anything revealed.

The orange one seems to be a liability now.

and if he gets pardoned. I don't think congressmen and senators have the stomach for long drawn out trial and appeals that will surely be attached to criminal conviction. Plus the embarrassment to our country internationally. Some of his cronies will surely get jail time. But I think that Trump will be pardoned and then just disappear back under the rock he crawled out from. He will retire and play golf. His children might have him committed to a mental institution.

5. Putin doesn't care what Drumpf can "implicate" him with -

Because everyone knows what Putin is. Everyone knows about the Russian Oligarchs, their corrupt practices, the quid pro quo and underworld ties. They're out in the open about what they are.
Putin has made himself the richest man in the world, with pretty near ultimate power over both the legislative and judicial components of his country. Probably the economic components, also. Everything that goes on in Russia is to benefit Putin.

Drumpf has nothing that could send Putin to the Hague, or encourage other countries to put more sanctions on Russia, or be more concerned about Russian businesses.
Drumpf's fall, the GOP's fall will be all on them; any investigation will only show how political greed in the US is a useful tool to Russian interests.
