Here's my take on the Russia Investigation, using an educated guess [View all]

I have followed the whole Russia interference in the 2016 election and Trump treason investigation as closely as a person can. It is actually incorporated into my job, as I work in political research for a labor union.

So, here goes. I am optimistic that this investigation will result in more indictments and the resignation of Donald Trump. My analysis goes like this: When anyone looks at the facts and evidence, which are far more than what's made public, I believe it is overwhelming. Jeff Sessions knew what was going on. He was briefed. The information he was given was so overwhelming and pointed to Trump being a traitor, that he couldn't run interference for him. Sessions knew history would judge him harshly. And Jeff Sessions was a sycophant Trump supporter, yet let the investigation continue, even after he was humiliated, publicly and privately, by Trump. Enter Whittaker. Here is a fraudster. If anyone was placed into a position to do Trump's dirty work, it's Whittaker. Yet, after being briefed, it turns out that he did none of the president*s bidding. He, too, could not bring himself to side with a traitor. I suspect Barr will do the same. After Mueller shows him the facts, the tapes, the emails, the witness testimony, Barr will also fold.

The evidence is overwhelming, IMHO, and when people see the whole package, they abandon Trump and choose to not be on the side of history that will humiliate them, their families and their future heirs for all of recoded time.
