1. I don't anticipate Mueller, the FBI or anything like that bringing Trump down.

If it happens, cool. But if you really want to kick Trump to the curve, start working to get him voted out of office in 2020. Control what you can control.

6. I don't see how anyone following the case can think this.

The reality is going to be extremely bad. Not just embarrassing. It will be 100 times worse than Watergate.

THAT is what we should all be preparing for.

8. Oh, I don't disagree that it's going to be extremely bad. It will be.

But I don't anticipate 20 Republican senators voting to convict. And I feel much better working at the ground level to take Trump out in 2020 then waiting and hoping Mueller will do it for me.

I think Meuller’s report is going to tell us Trump is a criminal, associates with criminals, and is indebted to criminals. I think ultimately our Democratic house will impeach but the senate will not convict. It will be up to us to remove him in 2020.

The only real likelihood I see of Trump being out of office prior to the election is if his kids get indicted by the State of New York and his resignation is leveraged for their freedom. That’s a long shot.

But, IMHO the investigation itself will continue for quite a while.
