circumstantial evidence, like Chris Christie with Bridgegate. Not equivalent with exoneration or innocence.

I think he won't be impeached, but that's because the republicans will protect him.

Clearly he is guilty.

Most likely democrats know what reality is. and reality is Trump, although is guilty, will most likely slide. UNLESS.... the feds turn this over to NY.

So your options are totally likely, somewhat likely, neither likely or unlikely, somewhat unlikely, totally unlikely. Or some such rot. It's just a method of breaking the opinion down so as to be able to claim almost anything.

i think it's quite possibly that mueller nails many people very close to donnie and also that the facts that come out make it clear as a practical matter that donnie is in it up to his eyeballs.

however, there are a number of reasons why mueller might not actually charge donnie with anything, or with anything "major".

this could be because the strategy is to nail him at the state level where he has less ability to interfere, or maybe out of fear that witnesses will cover for him, or simply because taking on donnie himself has big risks associated with it and inevitably looks "political".

frankly i think donnie *will* get identified as having likely committed certain crimes, and might very will be indicted, but it's possibly he will escape, or that what he's indicted of will be "disappointing".


in any event, republicans will try to spin the results as donnie being exonerated even if his entire family is sent up the river. as long as donnie himself is not indicted, or if he's only indicted on charges they can spin as being "minor" (such as violating election "paperwork" laws).


anyway, my point is the ultimate mueller report will be very damning and will not exonerate donnie in any way, but republicans will surely spin it as such almost no matter what.

The only way I see a complete exoneration of collusion/conspiracy with a foreign government to influence our election is a mental deficiency defense. Money laundering and breaking of the emoluments clause will continue and perhaps even become more brazen. But he can do it, because the GOP will let him, and his base will continue to scream “lock her up” every time Hillary is mentioned.

I’m never polled. Just wondering who is actually polled.

While the RePUBES control both houses. They will split hairs and like many lawyers (which a lo of them are) take various points of view and legal interpretations. My hope is the houses flip AND without question NY indicts him and family for the obvious money laundering. Just sayin if so many average folks see his corrupt money laundering ways (Already fined 10 Million to settle $ laundering at one of his bankrupt casinos) just think what Mueller and team know.

A good share of people who see it as a political likelihood are also disgusted by the notion.

They probably confuse it with excommunicated.

Zero information polling.

When it comes to the Russian election interference. Doing an internet search brought more he's guilty than he's not including the Chicago tribune and the hill... can't get much more repukie than those two rags!!

Once again media trying to keep us on that roller coaster ride!!

political system will function properly to bring him to justice.

among those who declined to talk to them, the vast majority said of course he's guilty.

Spin spin spin.
