Do you think the Mueller investigation will result in a recommendation of indictment against Trump *









*I know there is a debate on whether a sitting president can be indicted but if there is enough evidence for indictment there is certainly enough evidence for impeachment

But the way things are now, I cannot muster enough positive enthusiasm.

All I can muster is a pessimistic "wait and see".

getting a President removed is not an easy thing. I think Donnie is as dirty as the day is long. Whether they can prove it and whether, at this point, the GOP will do anything about it...is up for grabs.

to your +1... Could not agree more. I fear at the end the investigation it will be more about Trump's team of sleaze-balls rather than Trump himself. He will be left in the position to pardon his criminal court. I hope I am wrong but unless Mueller has a smoking gun this dipsh*t will remain in office.

remove a Prez. They would have gotten Obama quickly if it were easy. Right or wrong (as in this recent election) the people did elect Trump under the election rules.

There were lots of things working against Cinton (some might have been illegal, certainly immoral), but Trump managed to get out 60+ million ignorant white wing racists to vote for him. I think we are stuck with him.

With the three obvious candidates being Sr., Jr., and Jared.

I hope it's all three, but I do think one of them is going down.

tell them that his investigation may take another year to craft a complete and airtight set of indictment recommendations....but....we can't afford to wait that long because we have a severely compromised, corrupt, and dysfunctional administration in the WH?

Does he share info for the good of the country, even if the political route to justice and governmental stability prematurely exposes his legal case against this cabal?

But I'd bet at least Manafort and Flynn are indicted if they don't flip on Trump.

Trump is dirty for sure, but knowing and proving are two different things.

I will say YES.

However, I think Trump will try to force somebody in the Justice Dept to fire Mueller and his team and there won't be enough votes to override a Trump veto of a new law authorizing the special counsel. (I think many Republicans will vote for it, just not enough to get 2/3 in both the Senate and House)
