Like the **** today all sounds pretty damning. I’m trying to think of someway he weasels out of it but i cant barring some national ****ing crisis. Either way ****s gonna get interesting fast and i dont think theres a ton of outcomes that end well for him
What is it that you think is going to happen? He's going to serve out the rest of his term and then he's going to get voted out, which is the same thing that would happen if Mueller didn't exist. Whether he gets indicted after leaving office I'm not sure. It might happen. He'll probably test the theory that he can pardon himself on the way out.
The only early end of term I can see is a Nixon scenario, where Trump gets to be such a detriment to the party that they tell him he either resigns or gets impeached and prosecuted. I think this is unlikely because:
a) Trump's base is a cult, which puts a floor on how bad things can get for the GOP
b) Trump's base is a cult, so turning on Trump might not improve the electoral math for them
c) Trump would thrash around like a harpooned whale in such a situation and would do enormous collateral damage to the party, what with Trump's base being a cult and all.
I'd say Trump would be unlikely to ever conclude that he's in danger of jail time, because narcissists are bad at understanding that consequences apply to them, and because there will be no shortage of MAGA chuds telling him to stand and fight.
