It's not hard for me to believe Trump broke the law and got caught




I see a lot of folks who think others around him will go down but doubt that he will. I don't know if I would put money on him going down but he is certainly very capable of fucking up in a big way that could get him impeached or in major trouble with the law. He is not as sharp as someone like Carl Rove for example.


1. He is certainly no smarter than Flynn or Manafort. If we believe they were dumb enough to slip up why not Trump? He is a fucking disaster of epic proportions and shows it every day.

2. He admitted he is willing to do collusion with the Russians and undermine our Democracy when he told them to look at Hillary's emails on national TV.

3. He was fully aware that a mobster "Felix Sater" was in on his deal with Bayrock after the press reported this. Dutch news indicated this was unlawful. See 24 minute mark of video below.

4. Firing Comey shows he is really fricking desperate! If he wasn't worried about being caught breaking the law he wouldn't be making these kind of blunders.

5. The FBI has a shit load of resources and a huge budget at their fingertips. They can look all kinds of places regular investigative reporting may not have access to. Who knows what shady crap he has been up to? He is clearly an unethical crook.

Sadly would likely have gotten away with tons of shady crap, but he just had to be in the limelight of the presidency for his ego's sake...

But hard to prove. I really think what will turn up is racketeering or money laundering. And most likely multiple cases of it for him and his family.

I agree, that would be hard to prove unless they have him recorded. I agree that racketeering or money laundering is where he could go down.

If there is any set of bozos simultaneously dumb enough and arrogant enough to produce obvious evidence of collusion...it's these idiots.

Still, happy to take multiple counts of racketeering, money laundering, and obstruction of justice.

He gonna sink with the ship. He's been corrupt all his adult life. I just don't understand how his adult kids didn't see this coming and pack up and head for the hills. I guess they believe his fantasy land life too.

Sucks to be them, soon.

The hard part is putting his ass in jail.

He's the freaking President, the most powerful man in the country. He can basically fire anyone, hire anyone, pardon anyone, at his leisure and there's not a damned thing anyone can do about it.

Except Congress.

Well, except any Congress but this one.

Let's say there's sealed indictments. Let's say they unseal them. Let's say Trump is in the crosshairs.

You think this Congress would impeach him? Why does everyone think this House of Representatives would vote to impeach Donald J. Trump? Because of the severe gravity of the counts against him?

Seriously?

For all we know, the entire GOP is implicated in this Russia thing, in this money laundering thing, in this collusion, racketeering, profiteering, anti-American, over-archingly felonious reign of treason and deception.

If you ask me, even if Louise and Claude have got it right....with DJT as the head of this snake....he ain't going down.

He wouldn't have accepted a loss to Hillary in 2016. He would have challenged the election. Remember him saying that?

You think he'd let a little thing like treason force him to leave his new Summer White House?
