Will Trump get away with it? [View all]

Trump has gotten away with a whole lot: bankruptcies, divorce, groping women, not paying people, etc. He is reasonably wealthy, (?) came out of nowhere to run for president. He was elected President of the United States. All along he has lied his way through everything. Will he get away with it now?. My opinion is no, but that is a hopeful no. During the Nixon Watergate Scandal, congress was willing to investigate. I am not sure that the Senate will allow it now. But hell, I don't know. Anything can happen.
