Trump has left a two year video and twitter trail of evidence. It is filled with lies and self incrimination. Obstruction of justice, conspiracy and breaking his oath of office show he is unfit and guilty.
Trump believes in a sick way that he is smarter than everybody. That is a fatal flaw. He believes this because he spent his entire life getting over, getting out of things with the use of lawyers and money. Trump has failed a lot and made many dumb mistakes throughout his life. His lawyers made deals, he paid fines to worm his way out. Trump is not smart, his lawyers were smart. Money covered up his stupidity. He believes he can get out of anything.
When Trump became president he had no idea what the hell he was doing. He did not know all the positions he had to fill. He had no clue who to pick for many of those positions. He relied on people like Bannon and his family members to help him pick people. Stupid. Trump picked people not because they were qualified, he picked them if they were like him, agreed with him. The people that trump picked are some of the dumbest, corrupt people around. Many of them will be indicted and they will turn on Trump. They will give Mueller evidence.
A first year law student could put together a case against Trump and the stupid people that work for him.
Trump is going down and a lot of people will go to jail.

Alleged Russian Mobster Buys Condos in Trump Tower
David Bogatin, a 38-year-old former Soviet Army pilot and Russian émigré who arrived in America seven years earlier with just $3 in his pocket, pays $6 million for five condominium units in a luxurious new Manhattan high-rise, Trump Tower. At the time, Russian mobsters were beginning to invest in high-end US real estate as a way to launder money from their criminal enterprises.

On February 15, 2017, two days after Michael Flynn resigned his position as National Security Advisor, I posted the following request in a private Facebook group for members of Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG):
RUSSIA / FLYNN INVESTIGATION & REPORT: EXPERTS NEEDED IMMEDIATELY (PLEASE READ FULL TEXT BELOW BEFORE RESPONDING)
<SNIP>
Our team of volunteer lawyers and developers ended up working on this project for three months researching, verifying, coding, designing, uploading files, proofreading to get to the point where we could launch a publicly viewable timeline showing connections between President Trump, his advisors, and Russia from 1984 to present.

There are more timelines of Trump family involvement with Russians. Most are of short period of his or his family's involvement. Some only cover certain of his associate. The three above are the most complete I can find right now from reputable sources.
There was one posted here on DU within the last couple of days that covers Trump's cultivation by the Russian Mob - I think that is essential to understanding what is happening in this country and the world: http://www.citjourno.org/page-1

Those with money simply have a built in advantage because they can fight longer and harder about things.
