It is an interesting time line of the Russian interference and Individual #1s participation.
The last paragraph has me just livid.

With Donald Trump, its always about the money. He is not going to sit in the White House and watch his business empire suffer the same fate as Paul Manafort, who forfeited $46 million to the government as part of his plea deal. Hell resign with an assurance that he is pardoned for his crimes in the Russia investigation, the same way Nixon resigned with a pardon for his crimes in Watergate.
Please in no way shape or form should he be allowed to resign. I would love to see him gone but not with a pardon.
He should be in prison along with all involved.
No pardon.

I don't know if he will resign though. He does understand that he can't be indicted while in office (now that his bro Brett is on the SC), so he will stay in there as long as he possibly can.
But I agree - No Pardon.

(7,430 posts)Trumpy and his entire organization. Oh. And remember that Trumpy can NOT pardon a company. The Trump Organization is ripe for the picking.
Trumpy values money more than anything else. He can suffer a whole lot as a wealthy person, but take his money away, and he's got nothing.

No pardon ever and none for all his cronies including Pence.

But, you don't like the idea of President Pelosi. It alliterates better than President Pence!

But yep, doesn't mean he'll be impeached...but there is some chance.
As Chomsky said, Pence would probably be worse than tRump in the Oval Office. Hard to imagine.

So Russiagate isnt that different from Watergate after all. They will have the same end game.

I just want him gone and the insanity stopped.
