I've never been very good at predicting what's going to happen nine years in the future. BTW, Gerald Ford's pardoning of Nixon was believed by pretty much everyone (including Ford) to have cost him the 1976 election.

Then we take the House and Senate in 2018 so Pence can't do anything.

And enough of the money & meetings & communications etc went through/took place in NY throughout the campaign ; Transition; and currently.

So, NY AG is the key to making the charges/convictions actually stick !!!
