President Donald Trump’s White House is reeling in the aftermath of two high-profile indictments of former campaign aides and the arrest and guilty plea of another, said Vanity Fair‘s Gabriel Sherman on Wednesday.

As panic tightens its grip on the West Wing, some in the president’s inner circle have begun to dread the possibility of impeachment.

“Here’s what Manafort’s indictment tells me: Mueller is going to go over every financial dealing of Jared Kushner and the Trump Organization,” said former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg to Sherman. “Trump is at 33 percent in Gallup. You can’t go any lower. He’s f*cked.”

Sherman spoke to a half dozen of the president’s friends and advisers and found that talk has now begun about how to play out Trump’s endgame and that now “impeachment is being considered as a realistic outcome and not just a liberal fever dream.”

As the president’s lawyers take an official line that they are cooperating in every way with the Mueller investigation, behind the scenes Trump’s allies fret that there are no easy outcomes.

1. yeah, it's the paper trail stupid.

Collusion with the new Soviets is going to be hard to prove ( as illegal! )

But the financial shit and the lying on document shit... tax returns, FARA, etc... that's easy to prove and hard for the defendant to explain.

5. "hundreds of thousands"

The charges against Manafort and Gates, "are based on conduct stretching over a more than a decade-long period and involving numerous financial transactions, many of which are cross-border," they argue.

"As a result, the government will be producing substantial documentary evidence involving hundreds of thousands of documents from the United States and abroad," they say in the docket.

2. In the old days, a gentleman who was shown to have acted dishonorably used to go to the study alone,

take out a pistol and do the decent thing. Roll on the old days!

4. In the old days...

...someone like Trump would never make it to 71 years old. They would have been called to account, one way or another, years earlier.

Some things from the past are instructive.

3. Trump's big drop in polling is only just about to begin.

Let that sink in! Let's cook this Turkey by Thanksgiving!

6. I believe his endgame will go something like this.

[Duppers]

7. You think he'll quit first?

The shame of being impeached will haunt him but, on the other hand, he prides himself with the fact he's "not a quitter."

So, what's our best guess?

8. It's Sure Possible

Then the excuse could be a "fuck you all, you didn't appreciate my greatness." Would suit "it" perfectly.

9. You cant impeach me! I will quit first.

Good. Then he is no longing the sitting President and the guys with the silver bracelets can escort him to the squad car where they can forget to take it easy hustling him into the backseat. Oh, please, let someone capture THAT image for the ages.

10. Me thinks the Shitgibbon is between a rock...

and a hard something.

Good points, Grammy.


(My apologies to nice gibbons primates.)

11. What Delicious Irony That Would Be!

Great catch.
