[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

[b]Omg these liberal fantasies are hilarious. Please keep them coming. [/quote][/b]

Spot on! I am a liberal and some of these scenarios are so ludicrous that it makes one wonder if these posters have any concept of reality or whether all the blather they post is just based on their hatred of Trump.

I don't care for Trump but one needs to be grounded in some sense of what is likely to happen.[/quote]
Yes. You’re "liberal." Literally none of the scenarios laid out above are ludicrous at all. From the little bit that we know for a fact Trump has done, it’s already far worse than Nixon. That’s a fact. The GOP is actively obstructing justice. We know for a fact that many of them took a lot of questionable money from people with Russian ties, and they also accepted NRA money which turns out to also have been accepting Russian money. Trump has capped all over behavioral norms and the checks and balances - at least in regards to the GOP - are not functioning at all. We are in uncharted waters.[/quote]

You really are a moron. Just read through the claptrap that you just wrote: you should be embarrassed to write such nonsense.. Every sentence you wrote is just over the top tripe.[/quote]
 :lol: This "moron" thanks you. Literally none of what I wrote was over the top. It’s all been reported - by actual news outlets, not by the likes of Fox. You should be embarrassed at your utter lack of awareness.[/quote]
