Well if we take the Benghazi approach then this investigation would just be the third one (after the two Congressional probes). After Mueller is done, we would need to have about 7 more investigations.

Again, every day another news event makes my bet that Trump won’t be in office on Jan.1, 2019 look better-and-better!
Don't get your hopes up. Republicans in office and out will do whatever they can to protect BLOTUS.

So much for drain the swamp. It looks like Mueller is draining the entire pond.

I've said all along that the most likely scenario is some of his staff colluding, and not him. But eventually e will learn the reality of it one way or another.
Manafort ain't giving them nuthin.

Paul Manafort's cooperation agreement with the special counsel does not include matters involving the Trump campaign, according to a person familiar with the case.


This is big. Paul Manafort is cooperating with the Special Counsel but not on ANY matters involving the Trump campaign. Still nothing on Russian collusion. There are however foreshadowing references to the Podesta Group in the court documents though...

If there was collusion, he did know. He may be able to maintain plausible deniability to one extent or another, but I seriously doubt that someone saying “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 missing emails. I’m sure you’ll be rewarded mightly by the press.”

If Trump is found innocent of conspiracy/collusion, and instead is charged with perjury in the event he does an interview or he evaded taxes, my guess is the American people will side with him. On the opposing hand, and this most applies to people who aren’t die-hard Trumpsr supporters, if any level of the Russian allegations are true, then he should be arrested.

Collusion is different for everyone really. I believe there is quid pro quo established. Putin can tolerate sanctions being placed on Russia so as long as Trump continues to rip apart US/Western/World institutions.
I'm trying not to let my dislike for Trump bias my comment here, but why would you believe the American people would side with him if he's charged with perjury when they don't stand with him now? He's dislike/disapproved of more than he's like/approved of.

Generally you can only take such a deal if you can implicate someone else of equal or greater value in the criminal enterprise.

I think it depends on what the perjury charge is on.

The American people sided with Clinton on that because they didn't care about him getting a blow job, they viewed that as his personal life.

If trump is busted with perjury for lying about something that effects the Government or the lives of Americans, i think they may not side with him.

Just my thoughts on it.
