In this past week there's been a major shake-up in the Trump Administration's circle of the wagons.
Everybody is starting to abandon-chit!
Not a typo there, folks. From Paul Ryan, to Mitch McConnell, Trump's haughty ways is causing the key party members to begin to distance themselves.
All of which has become more readily-apparent after Trump expounded that he could pardon himself (which he cannot do); and the dark clouds now looming even worse with the new indictments of Manafort & friend.
Ring of Fire has this to say
.

The Ring of Fire also pointed out that Mitch McConnell has announced (after reviews of evidence the public has yet to lay eyes upon) - that McConnell agrees with Mueller's investigation going forward.

Big News from Rachel Maddow
Just when you think it can't get any worse, Rachel Maddow points out that Trump's overseas architect got a phone call; and that firm.that was in business for 10 years - shut down the very next day!
.
.
Much more is coming; and that's why Mueller is taking his time. Every rock or pebble kicked over, tends to produce a dozen more rocks & pebbles that need to be lifted up.
In the meantime, we should a take a look at this short, Dutch, documentary; which explains how Trump got involved with Russia, in the 1st place.
Trump= Russian oligarch money laundering; and there are issues not even discussed yet - but those in the know are aware - things like Mr. Water....are bombshells!

(25,862 posts)but whatever is going on in his head. Which is why he constantly contradicts himself, says something outrageous, insults our allies, praises dictators, and honestly thinks he's always the smartest man in the room.
And establishment Republicans along with far too many voters, still protect and support him.
In some countries, so incompetent a President would have resulted in rioting in the streets by now. There's lots of reasons why that hasn't happened yet here, and probably won't.
Even if every single Republican Senate seat is flipped, something that probably can't happen, and even if every single Democrat running for the House (I'm sure there are going to be at least a few uncontested seats), I don't trust the Democrats to actually do anything to remove Trump from office. I'm sure they'll weasel their way out of that, even if they had the super majorities I'm hypothesizing. And the reality is, even if they win back the House and Senate, it will be by pretty narrow margins, which will give them an excellent excuse to do nothing.
Meanwhile, Trump has figured out that he can bypass Congress completely and rule by executive order.
He is not going to leave office by himself, and Congress will never have the gumption to remove him.
