Nearing the Worst Case Scenario
December 7, 2018 at 9:31 pm EST By Taegan Goddard

Garrett Graff: “We are deep into the worst case scenarios. But as new sentencing memos for Trump associates Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen make all too clear, the only remaining question is how bad does the actual worst case scenario get?”

“The potential innocent explanations for Donald Trump’s behavior over the last two years have been steadily stripped away, piece by piece. Special counsel Robert Mueller and investigative reporters have uncovered and assembled a picture of a presidential campaign and transition seemingly infected by unprecedented deceit and criminality, and in regular—almost obsequious—contact with America’s leading foreign adversary.”

NOT change. They don't care what he has done, is doing. They see themselves in him so demeaning him demeans themselves.
The talking head lawyers and experts don't seem to think there are legal paths to stop him, and with the Senate firmly RePUBICS that's the end to impeachment and expulsion.

His Pardon power will free ManaFART, Stone, the crime family kids...and probably himself.

The Supreme Court is stacked. The new AG is biased towards tRUMPS views and stand.

Someone talk me off the ledge with some insight into how anything can end him and his crime group short of 2020 election defeat.

Seems that crime pays for the white collar gangs.

what about #8, that he is the actual Antichrist?

Or #9, that we're all actually already in Hell?


Anyway, I don't think he's a Russian agent, exactly. More like an asset; a Weaponized Dumbass.

That's more or less what the long-standing Russian campaign has been doing for decades, creating Weaponized Dumbasses. They unleashed millions of them on the United States in 2016, combined with a multi-faceted cyber-attack, and decisively won World War IV, hobbling the U.S. as a global power for decades. While the U.S. had spent trillions upon trillions of dollars building up a conventional military, the Russians focused out of necessity on cyber-warfare, social engineering, and espionage (and also basically eliminated organized crime as an enemy, by merging the state with the criminal leadership). Overall, it's been a hugely successful operation, but hasn't yet achieved one if its primary goals of eliminating the sanctions that are restricting various profit streams to the Russian oligarchs...

By repeatedly deceiving the American people, making false claims, and excuses, and his hiding his involvement and repeatedly lying because he knows its very illegal. Criminal conspiracy working with a foreign government who is an enemy makes it even more damming , and that the full extent of the law for treason against OUR country would be more than justified in this case. trump has been a corrupt criminal for a long long time this investigation will show , and prove exactly that. He's done, and all those aligned with him helping protect him now will be too soon. They all will go down for what they've all known was happening , and knew the consequences could be very harsh for this. Corruption running wild out of this Whit House and from the gop in Congress.
