[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess:
Mueller's extremely damning report comes out in September of 2018---putting Congress in the position of having to defend a decision NOT to impeach on the campaign trail.
Either the House flips D, in which case impeachment proceeds, or the House stays R and impeachment stalls.
Either way, there are not enough Senate votes to convict---unless the Senate Republicans remember that the Senate is a co-equal branch of government and grow a spine (or see a now blue House and get concerned about their own hides).  
If the report is damning enough (serious money-laundering and thorough evidence of collusion with Russia to influence the 2016 elections) and Congress still stalls on impeachment, then there is a possibility of a direct criminal indictment.  
There is no legal precedent saying a president can't be indicted---just a memo suggesting that is the case written by a self-serving Nixonian justice department.  Politically, indictment of a sitting president is the least palatable option because of the precedent it would set.  However, given Trump's intransigence and overwhelming narcissism, it might come down to that.  In that event, SCOTUS would probably hold that a president CAN be indicted.
At that point, we are deep into 2019.
