One wonders, as an American -- if a foreign government secretly invades and controls the highest levels of our government, are we bound to policy enacted while the invasion was active?

(2,190 posts)I bet that Mueller has not only the women who have accused Trump in the past, but also the elusive "Maria" (not her real name), the 13-year-old he's said to have raped at a house connected to Epstein. She's backed down before, because of threats from Trump supporters, but I hope she can cooperate with Mueller. I believe the people like Louise Mensch who say that other nations have that tape. If so, it might be those countries that release it, not us.
Sadly, after this week we know that the GOP's base of evangelicals won't leave them over assaults of children. But it's still a crime, and I hope he gets what's coming to him over it. Even if it takes down other people (Epstein was friends with people like Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew-- not that I think they're involved in that child's rape, but there are some barriers to reporting, I think).

(1,822 posts)I actually think he'll get him on money laundering, possibly foreign campaign contributions, but probably not. Then it will be an arguement of how much did trump know type of thing w/ repubs saying he was the head of the organization, it was people below him doing it. Just my 2 cents. I dont have high hopes

(2,190 posts)I won't be surprised if Mueller is passing all of that on to Schneiderman to deal with.
Obstruction is the easiest thing to get people on. For instance, the FBI and Mueller knew what emails Kushner had, and they asked him for emails solely because they knew he wouldn't produce all of them. Obstruction. Every tweet that Trump puts out about the ongoing investigation is obstruction.
I think that Trump will eventually resign on the basis of the federal charges. But it will be Schneiderman who takes every asset the Trumps have, in his enterprise corruption case. He was the one who pursued charges related to Trump University; he loathes Trump.
I'm prepared to settle for the Trumps being broke, and some of them (Jared and Don Jr., probably) in prison. I'd rather Trump himself was in prison for conspiracy, but I don't think I'll get that.
It's amazing that now we can look back and think, "Of COURSE Trump's casinos failed; they were never meant to succeed. They were just money laundering vehicles."

(1,134 posts)Beauty there is that it is unpardonable and the financial damages are so punitive that it could leave him penniless! People would like to see him dead, but that is the LAST thing I hope for--it would make him a martyr to his ignorant fans. I want him to live a long time in prison, knowing his family is penniless and he is universally hated, and then forgotten!

I think I'd go with Obstruction first, though. That looks to be open-and-shut, even with only the information publicly available.

(9,865 posts)Before the tax bill passes. Because after the Repugs get that--they won't care about him and the country will be in ruins for a generation of suffering.
I know this level of speed isn't possible---but please wake up people! Trump will have done his damage whether he's here or gone.
I think we need to get into the streets massively over this tax bill vote.
