6. Putin's useful idiot has outlived his usefulness but the Russian goal has been achieved

If Putin's plan was to disrupt the American political system, weaken American power across the world, and foster distrust of our elections, nothing more needs to be done. The Russians have achieved all of that and more.

Even if hard evidence is found that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians and there is enough evidence to implicate Trump in that collusion - or even if Trump had no knowledge but there is evidence that he obstructed justice by firing Comey to derail the Russian investigation (as provided by his own tweets and by his interview with Lester Holt) - the chaos that will happen during debates about whether to impeach Trump will continue to disrupt our political system.

If we could remove Trump today without impeachment, the damage he and his cohorts have done will take years to repair. Unless the entire GOP is brought down with Trump we may not be able to fix it.

Basically, we're fucked for the immediate future. I'm sixty five and hope I live long enough to see the US on a better course.
