...Donald Trump will lose big. He will lose bigger than he has ever lost before. He has been lucky in the past and also he had "experts" working to prevent his destruction. Michael Cohen was on board from 2006 until May 2018. He decided to pay his dues and get free of Trump. Cohen was the absolute "expert" of keeping Trump from trouble of all kinds. But he is not available any more.
..But there is another so called "expert" around. His name is Adam Schiff. Schiff was/is an expert in prosecution. He was a prosecutor in his other job, before becoming a congressman. He prosecuted a whole lot of criminals. So, Schiff has a whole lot of experience in the field of "prosecution." He and Nancy Pelosi also have a whole lot of contacts in the "prosecution field" who they can get help from. That "help" would like to see criminals pay the price for their "evil deeds".
..So there you have it. One expert in helping Trump avoid trouble is totally "unavailable." And the experts on prosecuting criminals are available. Schiff and his associates have experience in dealing with people who break laws. Does Trump's current group of lawyers have experience in protecting presidents who have broken federal laws? Just asking. Does the current group have experience in dealing with Donald Trump? I don't know. But, my guess is that Donald Trump is a very difficult individual to deal with because of many aspects of his personality. (Just one aspect is that, Donald has difficulty with telling the truth, and he lies a whole lot)
...Therefore, for the above reasons, as well as many not stated and obvious to many, Donald Trump is going down, and he and his gang are going way down.

(18,868 posts)I just want him gone. I don't want to ever see his awful face again. I don't want to ever hear his awful voice again.
I just want him gone.

(38,434 posts)gang includes his "family" as well. It is very hard to know how Donald himself will be "gone." If there is some kind of injunction about Donald opening his mouth about his "family's circumstances" then he will shut up. That is too far away to know. Perhaps during the appeals after the family is convicted, then there will be an injunction about discussing this. I really don't know. But, deep inside, I must believe Nancy Pelosi, and she said, "It will take time." Sadly, while Trump may be gone, he is not going away soon.

(23,957 posts)not that they're at all afraid of exposure, but consulting for Trump would be a waste of Mr. Putin's valuable time
Putin's probably got a team of well-secured "Trump handlers" set up to keep that asset viable for as long as possible, and to take Trump's late night whiny "consultation" calls.

(2,227 posts)The lawyers he hires to represent him during impeachment?
If that is the case, he doesn't want to spend a penny he doesn't have to because he wants as much as possible to transfer overseas, for when he flees. (Which is why they should freeze all assets ASAP, then take them, through RICO. But maybe they should wait until he sells the DC hotel lease for 500 million, THEN seize all the assets... Plus they should freeze the RNC presidential campaign fund, which will allegedly be 1.5 to 2 BILLION. He will try to keep as much of THAT as possible. Seize it, too.) He is a broke, epic failure. But he thinks he is going to walk away with billions...
His sole job now, and for the rest of his term, is to cause as much chaos as possible. Per Putin's orders.
Then he will be off to fondle MBS's orbs. Putin doesn't want him. Or his spawn.

(67,111 posts)walking/talking disaster. He's also afraid, I bet, that his tax records will be exposed as the Country laughs at him because of what a true failure he is. A big mouth and walking around as a thug intimidating people who fear him. Neither would I be surprised to see him try to flee the country and hoard as much money as he can along the way. The guy is dangerous as hell and such a fraud.
