Jim Comey and Andrew McCabe likely would be hired on to finish the Special Councel's job to finish the Russian Probe because tRdump fired Mueller.

Wouldn't that be poetic justice.

Comey and McCabe would hang tRdump, then shoot him, and finally electrocute him after they finished convicting him in a fair but ruthless trial.

No lost love with those fired FBI guys. tRdump treated them like dirt.

He just inherited enough money for it to be white collar crimes, for the most part.

I'd love to see Trump RICO's, along with the NRA, the Koch brother and the Mercers.

hundreds of clients with multiple indictments. If this all materializes the way it seems to be heading, the ranks of what passes for leading Republican politicians will be decimated for years to come.

Pinch me so I know I'm not dreaming -- LOL!

And thought he could get away with stealing the presidency without consequences. He needs to be locked up and all who corroborated with him charged and tried.

I'm interpreting that at least 8 at the top qualify
They have to prove criminal something first though. That's not an amateur interpretation, it's explicit in the law
But, the top 8 is a pretty huge thing.
I'm dubious, but I hope so
