I think hes going to get himself out: Feinstein hints that Trump may resign at Q&A session

Senate Judiciary Committee co-chair Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) held an impromptu question-and-answer session on Friday with protesters who gathered outside a fundraiser she held in Los Angeles.

According to Mediaite.com, when a protester asked Feinstein how to get Trump out of office, Feinstein replied, “I think he’s going to get himself out” — hinting that Trump might resign in the months ahead.




“There are so many things [Trump] is doing that are unconstitutional,” a protester said. “How are we going to get him out?”

“We have a lot of people looking at this,” Feinstein said. “I think he’s going to get himself out… I think that sending his sons to another country to make a financial deal for his company and then have that covered with government expenses. I believe that should not be allowed.”

...I think she meant not that he would resign, necessarily, but a more general comment implying that his corruption would be his undoing> She went on to say that business dealings like his sons' trips abroad, paid for by the government and benefiting Trump personally, were an egregious violation of the Emoluments clause.

So when she referenced “technical people” who are “working at this,” was she hinting at the people in the intel community digging up his Russian financial connections? Perhaps she was so shaken this week because she’d just learned the extent of what had been dug up.

Or looked like she had just come from a funeral?
The elderly woman looked FINE. She looked the same the other day coming out of that meeting as she did today.

To me, this BS hurts us. Stop wishing for miracles. Stay focused.

She ABSOLUTLEY was not "hinting" at anything. She was merely stating that if he continues doing deals etc. the way he has been, he'll get in trouble. But she has NO WAY of knowing that for certain because, as we've seen quite clearly, the Republicans do. Not. Care. They aren't slapping him on the wrist for anything unless we push them to do so.

Don't read the Feinstein tea leaves. This raw story piece if BS fake news.
