It's going to be explosive. All these investigations one day are going to end. All the madness of trump and the people that work for him will be exposed. For me, it feels like a volcano is slowly building up and one day it's going to explode.
I think its fair to say, a lot of people are going to prison. I know Flynn is screwed.

(36,108 posts)I doubt anyone prominent in his administration will get charged with anything
We're being anesthetized to Trump's outrageous actions. The press is again normalizing him. There's no real opposition
We're getting hit by shit and our betters expect us to clean it off and move on

(15,220 posts)But I don't have any faith any more. The possibility that he gets away with it is very real.
Part of my lack of faith, in all honesty, stems from my opinion of the fighting attitude of many Dems. Until it is accepted that Trump and all those associated with him are an enemy to the state, and the fight about that becoming real, personal and ugly enough to stop Trump, nothing is going to happen.
I see it on DU on a daily basis. Posters coddling Trump and his minions. The "oh, we can't say anything bad about them because we become like them" mentality. We have no choice but to fight as hard and as dirty as they do, or we are going to lose every time. Until Dems get mad enough to understand that, Trump isn't going any where.

(4,379 posts)Many of the people under trump committed felonies. They withheld info on security clearances. I forgot is not a defense. I believe trump is guilty on obstruction of justice. I believe this investigation is bigger than most people realize. There are FBI agents around the world following the money. I believe Mueller has Trumps tax returns.
Right now I think many people, including myself ,cannot believe what the hell is happening to our country. It seems like it will never end. Nothing will change. I truly believe this madness will end and it will be explosive.

(13,421 posts)I wouldn't be shocked if all those newly hired attorneys are hard at work making deals to keep clients out of jail in return for testimony. Not saying there aren't guilty folks, just saying those folks may have value to the prosecution and can turn that into a "get out of jail" card.
I think when it is all done we will see a couple folks in jail, a few high profile resignations, and a whole bunch of, "I'm not running for office again" folks.
