Does anyone know what drumpf would actually be charged with?
Specifically, when/if Mueller shows that drumpf worked with the Russians... they providing "dirt" on hillary and social media trolls/bots, and drumpf providing promises of a pro-russian agenda (easing sanctions for instance)... what is the crime? Is there anything preventing a president from working with a foreign power in such a way? I mean... we all KNOW it is wrong... but what statute on the books would he be charged with violating?

So yeah, the best we can hope for is elebenty jillion years in the Pokey, not a firing squad. Seizing all assets under RICO statutes would be cool, tho.

One could wish it was a tad lower.
