A thief would clearly steal more stuff if he knew he had a "get out of jail free" card.

The Republican Party is giving Trump a "get out of jail free" card for any Constitutional violation he has committed in the past or cares to commit between now and the Senate trial. Of course Trump awarded himself the G7 money.

1. His crime spree continues unabated because he has not seen any consequences

2. You may have a point.

Putin is putting the squeeze play on the GOP.
Trump knows he is really fucked and there is no way out.

RudyColudy is so broke he can’t afford a lawyer
& nobody can shut the hell up.

3. Some people worry that the statute of limitations could kick in

if Trump won another term, thus protecting him from consequences. The fact is, he CANNOT STOP committing crimes against this country, so a statute of limitations keeps leapfrogging along with him. No way he could stop impeachable and criminal offenses even if he tried.

4. They said he started the Ukraine thing -1- day after Mueller's testimony (fizzled).

Same thing.

If the American people don't send the GOP packing for 2-4 terms, they will be back with this shit again. And they might anyway.
