If Donald Jr. gets indicted that would be explosive! Seriously, every news program in the world

will go berserk with the President of the United States of America's son being indicted! I think it would be so explosive the pressure on Trump would multiply tenfold. It would be a major turning point. Historical on an epic level!

Only bringing this up because several DU threads are suggesting that could happen soon.

He has no one to blame but himself. Donald Trump and those around him from Mike Pence on down, had be best lookiing over their shoulders. For what they know, what they have seen, what they have heard is being considered as this investigation grows larger.

Robert Mueller and team are probably not taking much time off during the Holidays. Trump and family are nervous, good. That family deserves all the ills coming to them as the dominoes continue falling.

It is nice to see trump under pressure, and spending a bunch of money defending his organization.

He's certainly has done enough to be indicted.

The real question is whether or not his father will help him.

Syria pullout announcement without consulting the Pentagon. They won't follow his orders to nuke any country.

Then everything will hit the fan.

1) Push him to set up a trust for their children. Because it is looking a lot like he is going to lose a large amount of money.
2) Consider having a chat with the special council. Not for any sort of revenge but because it would position her to be able to write a major best seller and cover her own ass.
3)Work to get the divorce through ASAP

Even if the pretend pres pardons him, the optics that its his son would be hard to survive. Well, other than with his faithful followers who will not doubt see it as the dear thoughtful leader looking out for his poor abused son who was railroaded by evil deep state Democratic pizza and porn producers

If it happens, I think trump will lose it, pardon everyone, and declare the Russia probe over. Then we see if there is any amount of blatant criminality that can possibly be too much for the republicans to tolerate.
