Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWhat SPECIFICS will Mueller say about Trump.
Heres my guesses:
Money Laundering
Obstruction of Justice
Violating Emoluments clause
I think that is it.
He will not use words such as treason, collusion, or conspiracy.

(22,037 posts)I think you're correct about the main charges. An I agree with you about treason (a very specific crime and hard to prosecute) and collusion (which is not a crime).
Conspiracy is another matter, however. Trump conspired with many people to engage in many unlawful acts. Remember, it only takes two people to conspire.

What word would go in that blank?
Nearly every bad act that Trump has engaged in throughout his life is fraudulent.
It will probably be very easy for Trump to be convicted of fraud. The only reason his "university" case went away was because he was willing to settle the claims with $25 million.

His fake 2 Corinthians Christianity is a fraud
His hair and face color is a fraud
His claim to any type of decency is a fraud.
