It will be impossible for the Democrats in the House to investigate all the High Crimes and Misdemeanors Trump has committed. Think about that for a minute. They will have to prioritize.
We know they will investigate the major crimes Trump has committed, but I believe Trump has committed scores of crimes.
How many times did Trump abuse his power? He used his power for revenge over and over again. He attacked people, companies, the press over and over again. How many times did Trump lie to the American people, Conduct unbecoming. How many crimes did he commit that we don't know about yet? Yikes!
Trumps staff will be subpoenaed over and over again. Everything is going to come out. What we are about to witness is going to be unbelievable.

But I've read speculation that what will happen is that House committee chair(s) can subpoena the report and/or Mueller's investigators.

(7,627 posts)Many of the staff cant afford high powered lawyers to defend them. They will be pulled in the whole thing either by having enabled illegal acts or as witnesses having to testify. Once Mueller starts indicting more of them Trump will be going mad.

(13,566 posts)cage every day! Keep the defensive anger and outbursts going. He already seems to barely sleep. When awake he's angry. That has to be adding up.
Everything he does and says basically generates more lies and crimes. He can only get worse and look worse to most of the people, even those trying to tolerate him for the republican cause. He really can't back off and try and be good. He does that and his base will see it as him selling out.
IF the press keeps calling him out, he will indeed deteriorate exponentially. He has no psychological reserve when not getting his way and this trait will lead him to expose more of his cover-ups.

(9,713 posts)what those may be I dont know, just a gut feeling. The Dems have to stay focused and keep hitting those obstacles till they are shattered.
Bring Trump down and disgrace the entire family until their name is worthless.
