To me seems like the only viable option we have left is for state and/or federal authorities to indict Dotard himself especially in light of him openly lying to the OSC in his written submission about Stone, Wikileaks, and the T Tower meeting.

And maybe some state atty general can indict him. Maybe it would get thrown out, but so what? Give it a try. Or a prosecutor. New York City-- he lived there and did some of these crimes there.
We need Jack McCoy (Law & Order prosecutor). He was always indicting people who weren't supposed to be indictable, like the CEO of a pharmaceutical company.

Public hearings will be devastating to Trump.
Also, something like 75% of Americans want Muellers findings to be made public, so the report may be released.
If the report isnt released, the Democrats can subpoena the evidence gathered and Mueller can continue presenting very long, detailed indictments that will tell the story.
The indictments are public.
Its possible that there will be enough pressure on GOP Senators that they do the right thing for the sake of self preservation.

(23,738 posts)22 Republican Senators will be up for election in 2020, and while Republicans are said to be 'favored' to win most of them back, that will probably change, depending on their reactions to the Mueller investigation, et al.
So we might find those 67 votes after all.

Put that in jeopardy and republicans would send trump and anyone else straight to jail.
Politicians, especially republicans, are the very definition of fair weather friends.

Trump can easily drag things out for 2 years until the election, but just imagine what he will do in the 2 months after he loses, the pardons he will issue then.
But imagine if he doesn't lose because of a third party run from the Left by our favorite "Get off my lawn you damned kids!" candidate and siphons enough votes from the Democratic Party candidate to allow Trump to win. It could happen.
