Does anyone else here think that when the shit finally hits the fan,

It's going to be explosive. All these investigations one day are going to end. All the madness of trump and the people that work for him will be exposed. For me, it feels like a volcano is slowly building up and one day it's going to explode.

I think its fair to say, a lot of people are going to prison. I know Flynn is screwed.

2. My fear is that Trump will find some way of killing the investigation

And I will continue to think like that until he is doing the rest of his horrible life behind bars.

11. They all have a "get out of jail free" card

It's called a Presidential pardon, Trump would just need to pardon everyone, then resign and have Pence pardon him.

3. I think Trump's presidency is the shit that hit the fan

I doubt anyone prominent in his administration will get charged with anything

We're being anesthetized to Trump's outrageous actions. The press is again normalizing him. There's no real opposition

We're getting hit by shit and our betters expect us to clean it off and move on

But I don't have any faith any more. The possibility that he gets away with it is very real.

Part of my lack of faith, in all honesty, stems from my opinion of the fighting attitude of many Dems. Until it is accepted that Trump and all those associated with him are an enemy to the state, and the fight about that becoming real, personal and ugly enough to stop Trump, nothing is going to happen.

I see it on DU on a daily basis. Posters coddling Trump and his minions. The "oh, we can't say anything bad about them because we become like them" mentality. We have no choice but to fight as hard and as dirty as they do, or we are going to lose every time. Until Dems get mad enough to understand that, Trump isn't going any where.

5. I will post again, Donald "Benedict Arnold" Trump

Trump with Benedict Arnold will hold the title of the worse Traitors of America and Democracy. So many died and suffered for Liberty and Freedom in the Revolution and today Trump and his followers wish to throw it all away. They have no courage and no honor.

7. There is a reason they all hired lawyers.

Many of the people under trump committed felonies. They withheld info on security clearances. I forgot is not a defense. I believe trump is guilty on obstruction of justice. I believe this investigation is bigger than most people realize. There are FBI agents around the world following the money. I believe Mueller has Trumps tax returns.

Right now I think many people, including myself ,cannot believe what the hell is happening to our country. It seems like it will never end. Nothing will change. I truly believe this madness will end and it will be explosive.

8. I think the imprisoned count depends on how many deals have been made.

I wouldn't be shocked if all those newly hired attorneys are hard at work making deals to keep clients out of jail in return for testimony. Not saying there aren't guilty folks, just saying those folks may have value to the prosecution and can turn that into a "get out of jail" card.

I think when it is all done we will see a couple folks in jail, a few high profile resignations, and a whole bunch of, "I'm not running for office again" folks.

Trump will pardon them all before he leaves office and then he will resign and Pence, now the 46th POTUS, will pardon Trump.
