What would happen, if between now and Monday, Trump is incriminated in some crime or scandal?

I don't think he would be foolish enough to fire Jeff Sessions between now and Monday? That would be too much of a gamble, even for him.

But, what would happen if Mueller indicts Jared or Don Jr for the Trump Tower meeting with the Russians and Donald is incriminated, per the testimony of Paul Manafort??

Would they still continue with the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh?

Or would that be a serious enough issue to delay the nomination?

These are very unpredictable times.

The GOP leadership sees Trump as a fool and as a tool.

I could see them dropping him only if he stopped their agenda.

They're built for that. They can defend Trump's crimes and Kavanaugh's at the same time without breaking a sweat.

He is being hired to save Trump's shroom from the pile of manure it's buried in.

Trump has been incriminated in crime and scandal for his entire two years in office. Republicans ignore it.
