What happens if Mueller finds Trump fingerprints in Russia conspiracy?

(Reuters) - Special Counsel Robert Mueller is preparing to submit to U.S. Attorney General William Barr a report detailing his findings in the investigation into Russia's role in the 2016 presidential election and any links to the Trump campaign.

Mueller has been looking since May 2017 into whether U.S. President Donald Trump's campaign conspired with Russia and whether Trump unlawfully sought to obstruct the probe. Mueller already has indicted or secured guilty pleas from 34 people, including six associates of Trump, as well as three Russian entities.

Here is a look at possible scenarios following the completion of Mueller's report.

REPORT FINDS TRUMP INVOLVED IN RUSSIA CONSPIRACY

Among those who already have pleaded guilty or have been convicted are: former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort; former Trump personal lawyer Michael Cohen; former national security advisor Michael Flynn; and former Trump campaign aides Richard Gates and George Papadopoulos. Others indicted include Trump adviser Roger Stone and Russian intelligence officers.

But the central question is whether Mueller will find that Trump himself played a role in a conspiracy with Moscow to boost his chances of winning the election or committed obstruction of justice to try to impede the Russia probe. Trump has denied collusion and obstruction.

If Mueller's report reveals a willingness by Trump to collude with Russia or contains evidence of direct coordination involving the Republican president, such findings could be the starting gun for the Democratic-led House of Representatives to launch the impeachment process set out in the U.S. Constitution to remove a president from office.

The GOP is NOT going to allow Trump to be impeached, but if the evidence is solid enough they will probably tell him to resign or else.

Quick question: Can they run two impeachment hearings at the same time? If Trump is guilty of collusion then so is Pence, and if Trump is removed for it then Pence should also be...

Now, if we get rid of them both this is what I'd like to see:

Step 1: Speaker Pelosi is elevated to president.
Step 2: President Pelosi chooses Hillary Clinton as her VP. She is approved.
Step 3: President Pelosi then resigns. Hillary becomes president.
Step 4: Retired President Pelosi returns to her district, runs in the special election to replace her, is elected.
Step 5: Once returned to the House, she is reinstalled as Speaker.
Step 6: President Clinton chooses Al Franken as VP.
Step 7: President Clinton dispatches the US Marshals Service to round up the entire Trump administration. President Clinton then purchases Shrub Bush's ranch and Joe Arpaio's tentage and creates a prison for the Trumpies.
