Trump And His Campaign Could Be Facing 10 Different Criminal Charges If They Conspired With Russia
Trump and his campaign could be facing criminal charges on everything from election violations to bank fraud and cyber crimes if they are found to have conspired with Russia.

Frank Figliuzzi, former FBI Asst. Director for Counterintelligence said on MSNBCs Deadline: White House:
If they were masking the origin of the Russian money, then you could have bank fraud and wire fraud and money laundering, and there is conspiracy, and there is accessory after the fact depending they knew what was happening. Heres the key on the hacking. If they can indeed show campaign officials gave a green light or knew or encouraged the hacking into the DNC, then you have the same violations, cybercrime, computer fraud and abuse charges we saw lobbed onto the Russian hackers, you see conspiracy charges against the president or his campaign officials. So it is about crime.
Rudy Giulianis claim that the Russia investigation is about collusion, not crime, doesnt hold up. Collusion is a form of illegal cooperation or criminal conspiracy. The accurate term for what is being investigated is conspiracy or criminal conspiracy, so Trumps claims of no collusion have as much bearing on this case as if he was saying no hot water. It is meaningless.
Trump and his campaign could be facing some serious criminal charges. Trump may not be charged with a crime while he is in office, but any one of those ten potential crimes would be enough to get him impeached.
The Special Counsel doesnt need to get the Trump campaign on all ten. One or two would be enough to end his presidency, and potentially land Trump in prison.

In the end it will all come down to the 2018 & 2020 elections.

(983 posts)Such action against a sitting president would ensure many legal hoops to jump through that will take just as many years to process. In the mean time, the GOP will enable him to do his worst work. Trump is too shameless to resign and if it gets to the Supreme Court, justice isn't on our side.
I love how the investigation is going but Mueller likely can't save us.
