I think Mueller will get him.
...Trump has had to settle with some, and ignored paying others. He has gone bankrupt to avoid paying people. But this game is different.
.. Will Mueller get him? I believe he will. What if Trump fires Mueller?. Trump may be impeached. Congress will appoint someone to take his place. It could be Mueller... Trump has broken laws in dealing with other countries to corrupt our election. This is not a game for Mueller. One of his best friends, a fellow F'BI leader was fired in a way only a mean asshole fires people. Mueller will get him. When? When Mueller has an iron clad case against Trump. That is when. Remember, this: Mueller is a lot smarter than Trump. And Mueller has dealt with others like Trump before.
If I recall, Nixon thought the same thing. They got Nixon, and they will get Trump.

(38,414 posts)Why ? An iron clad case, takes time. When Mueller has got it, it will be clear. Clear to all. Even Trump's lawyers will tell him. You this fellow Mueller knows what he is doing. That is what I believe. He and his crew will get Trump.

(7,800 posts)And he will resign when he is impeached, because the serious crimes he'll be linked to, besides Obstruction of Justice and Money Laundering, but maybe...
CONSPIRING WITH RUSSIA TO STEAL CONTROL OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT (easily the highest treason ever committed) is going to be just a little hard for the GOP to defend - plus he's killing their brand, and they hate his guts!

(14,097 posts)He's gotten away with everything. Every idiot thing he said and did which would have sunk anyone else's campaign, all the stupid shit he's done as President*, he's gotten away with it all, so far.

(38,414 posts)So far, yes, so far that is true. It takes time to insure that your facts are correct when you are going after the President of the United States. Watergate broke in the summer of 72..Nixon resigned in summer of 74..The last 3 or 4 months, events moved very fast. I recall it became somewhat clear in the last 45 to 60 days that the investigators "got him".. Nixon was as arrogant as Trump. Don't kid yourself, Nixon had gotten away with lots in the past, and was sure he could always do so. (some people think, as do I, that Nixon himself was responsible for a 15 minute gap in the famous tape that was found incriminating him)..
Watergate investigators built that case with a very strong foundation. Mueller is doing the same. Most of his crew are very skilled investigators who know the tricks. Just because it hasn't been proven "so far" doesn't mean that it won't be proven. And just like Nixon, Trump will say he did nothing wrong and won't resign, and then he will resign...Why do I say that?...There seems to be a whole lot that Trump might have done that was illegal. The meetings between Jared and the Russians, money from Russia, etc. It will all come out...Why?...because Mueller will pressure the crowd to squeal on each other in order to get reduced jail time.. This is indeed ugly, but that is what it is. Trump thinks he can get away with anything, and Mueller will, given some time. prove he can't.
One more note: If/When Trump fires Mueller, the situation will immediately be a crisis of larger proportions. Mueller will get Trump but it will take time. We will see who is correct on this.

(38,414 posts)So the last 4 months things are getting warmer. Give it some time. If Mueller takes another 6 to 8 months to "get him" would that be ok?...Maybe 4 months...who knows? Give it time.
...We will know who is correct...Trump may resign for other reasons,. Other events can occur. But I do not think that he will continue to get away with whatever he does. It may seem that way now, but only time will tell. And no matter who is correct, it will get uglier and far dirtier ...I believe that too.

Stuart G
(38,414 posts)Trump in my opinion will not, again, will not become some kind of dictator. The entire system will have to give in to that..and I do not think that can happen.. ( especially with an election in 14 months )

Stuart G
(38,414 posts)Trump is not stable, and we all agree on that. What he does or doesn't do could happen on a whim. He could resign suddenly for some unknown reason. I just hope in the process of this uncertainty, people are not killed by Trumps actions

(51,129 posts)And Mueller understands this completely. I want to see as many charges from the state as possible.
If Trump is impeached or resigns, Pence takes his place and picks a V-P. The majority in both houses of Congress must approve a new V-P. There is a slight chance Pence will be forced to resign before Trump quits or is impeached, then Trump picks the next V-P. This is why Paul Ryan keeps his mouth shut.
