The noose is now tight around Trumps fat neck. The O J defense theory will not work this time.

The charges against Trump are going to be so numerous, so severe and foolproof congress will have to act. We know the tea party nutbags in congress will not impeach Trump. There are not enough of them to save Trump.

I find it hard to believe the Republican party would risk everything to protect Trump once all the charges are made public.I believe they will turn on Trump. I believe a lot of Republicans are sick of Trump. Many hate him. The Republicans in the senate have been friends with McCain for years. They are not happy with Trump. Behind the scenes many Republicans probably have been thinking for a while Trump would have to be removed someday. I think they would rather have Pence as President. He is one of them. Trump is not.

Think most of them have taken russian money and so are dirty as hell and would do anything to protect their $$ and winning source. All they care about is power and will leave drumpf in office to protect themselves.

I think people are under estimating how severe the charges are going to be. The amount of evidence Mueller will show us. This is the biggest scandal in our history. It's going to have a big ending.

if they get rid of him. They'd much rather the Democrats do it so the Republicans can play the victim and rally their base.
