Best case Russia/Stormy scenario for Democrats

I would like to see Muellers report released in its entirety around late July.
Most primaries will be over by then. Most effective timing for midterms.
Report should have Trump personally indicted for Obstruction of Justice, money laundering, bank fraud, and cooperation with a foreign government in disrupting the election.
Pence should also be indicted on at least one of these.

1. Dems win House & Senate, Both Trump & Pence impeached, Pelosi named President.

2. Dems win House & Senate, Trump impeached, Pence name sullied but he is President.

3. Dems win House & Senate, House impeaches Trump, Senate does not. Trump stymied by
Congress until 2020 when he is routed in bid for re-election.

I think we know Trump will never spend a day in prison, no matter what Mueller has on in him.
That’s why I didn’t include that scenario.

We may win the Senate, but there won't be enough Republicans with the stones to vote for impeachment.

The first two are pure fantasies.
But, what should happen.
Actually what should happen is the 2016 election be negated and held again.
Unfortunately, our constitution never envisioned a scenario that would need that.

Nothing harder on a malignant narcissist than losing influence and property. Not that he had real wealth with his con but the loss would amount to a death sentence.

They worked to get the tax plan thru and tried to take health insurance away from millions of people, plus other things! They need to be able to break the GOP hold on the country too! It's not just about Trump here, American's future is at stake!

I hate them all.
Especially Turtle face who forced a STOLEN Supreme Court Justice on us that will hurt for generations.
And Ryan lost all humanity just to get his precious Ayn Rand trickle down tax cuts for the 1%.

Pence will go too. He was in charge of the transition team where Flynn ran back and forth between 45 and Russians.
He is up to his eyeballs in collusion and never forget that it wa. Manafort that brought Pence to 45.

That being said... I worry that the fist is about to come down on our Republic. Trump will destroy the freedom of the press. I worry about a "terror attack"
that will be used as an excuse to cancel the elections and begin a War with Iran.

Russia has not invested all of this time and money is Donald trump, just to see it flame out in 2 years. They are about the long term destabilization of the West.
