The simple reason that Mueller will get Trump:

..Trump acts like and thinks that he can get away with anything and say anything. As a businessman who has lots of money and lots of people who will take a hit for him, (for money) his life has been that. Yes, bankruptcies, divorce, books that expose him, failed TV shows and so on. I don't know it all, and I don't care.
..There is an arrogance of Trump that defies all reason. "No one is going to get me." Trump thinks. That is why Mueller will get him, one way or another. That kind of arrogance and belief that Trump can defy everyone and everybody is why Mueller will get him.
...Yes, it will take time. Why? As Muller goes up the line, one or two at a time, it takes time. It is all very simple: One testifies against another and another and so on. Trump's attitude that "he can do anything and get away with it, is what will get him". Muller has been through this before. Getting the bad guy. Trump can hire whoever he wants. It won't matter. He can say that he didn't do it. It won't matter. Mueller's team is smarter than Trump's team and is focused on getting Trump. It will take time, but, Mueller's team will get Trump and his gang.

1. And there are only so many saps who will commit perjury for rump...I think rump's gone ...

through his 'A' list already, already through most of his 'B' list and is rapidly running out of people to take the blame for him.

Perjury is not the only crime here too...covering up for crimes knowingly committed, lying of course to the FBI is a crime, but money laundering, flaunting the nations' secrets (K's trip to Saudi Arabia?), etc.

3. I agree. "So many saps who will commit perjury for rump." Why go to jail for Trump?

Very well stated and another reason that Mueller will get Trump.

6. Yes, it is an arrogance that defies logic. But Mueller has dealt with that before.

I think that is partly what motivates him. I recall Nixon had the same arrogance. Above it all. I believe it will end exactly the same. Nixon had been through it a number of times too. I think it will end exactly the same.

...then why in the world would they vote to remove him? They wouldn't even take up the vote! Just like they ignored voting on Garland.

been down this road before. And with way smarter crooks, who were experts as being crooks. Trump is new to being a "crooked politician", not being crooked.

12. You didn't know it because it isn't true.

The federal government started its attack on the Gambino family in the mid 80s. Mueller was one of many FBI personnel and U.S. attorneys who were part of the effort over the decades. The family operations still exist in New York City where they continue to control many of the labor unions.

Mueller has a reputation and that is fine but his batting average is not 100%. He was in charge of the anthrax murder investigation after 9/11 and those crimes are still unsolved. He accused (without filing any charges) two people. One sued the government because of his tactics and won $4.3 million.

10. There is something else that I want to add. "Trump really doesn't have a clue"
Thu Oct 11, 2018, 08:34 PM

...He has gotten away with so much so many times with different kinds of situations. That he doesn't have a clue. He may have been told he is in trouble, but obviously, he doesn't act like he is concerned. He says what he wants, when he wants. I don't think he has changed anything in the last few months. Has he? Is there any indication that he gives, that he is facing some, "trouble."?
