Trump's crime family hired the most high powered criminal defense attorneys in the country all because of some "fake news" ...
It takes some industrial strength weapons grade stupidity to believe that.
You don't hire an army of criminal defense attorneys unless you have crimes that need defending, even Trump's own lawyers hired criminal defense attorneys. The Gambino Crime family lawyers didn't even do that when John Gotti was taken down.
The Trump Crime Family are in a league of their own

(4,103 posts)If they do nothing the Democrats could take the House and Senate in 2018 and end up with Nancy Pelosi in the White House in 2019
Because I doubt either Pence of Session survive this, in fact they will be the first to go, since they're not protected from indictment and prosecution

(56,828 posts)is realistic. However, if Democrats win the Senate, it will mean a spectacular tidal wave of an election. Right now, it's 52 Republicans, 46 Democrats and 2 Indies that caucus with Democrats (King and Sanders)
However, in 2018, Republicans only have to defend 10 seats, while Democrats have to defend somewhere around 25 seats, including 10 in states that Trump won last year - Mary Landrieu, Heidi Heitkamp, Joe Donnelly, Claire McCaskill, Jon Tester, Joe Manchin and Sherrod Brown (always a favorite GOP target) are all vulnerable.
if Democrats hold even in the Senate and win the House, it will be a huge victory for them going into 2020.
