Quora is a website in which people write in questions to be answered by anyone intrested. Here are three opinions with names eliminated, just people saying what they think and why they think it, opinions worth considering.

How will the Mueller investigation end?

Joseph F, former Professional Photographer (1968-2017)

Originally Answered: How do you predict the Mueller Investigation will end?

The Mueller report will include indictments for Donald Trump Jr and Jared Kushner. Depending on which way Paul Manafort decides, if he flips then he will not get another indictment, if he does not he will indicted one more time for Conspiracy Against the United States.

Kushner will face state of New York charges on money laundering.

Pence maybe will be charged as an un-indicted co-conspirator.

Donald Trump will have evidence given to Congress as a money launderer for Russian interests. He will be linked to being part of the conspiracy Against the United States.

There will be a strong indication that he Obstructed Justice.

Some Republican congressmen will be included as taking tainted money or worse using Russian sourced information and are indicted.

The Steele dossier is revealed to be largely accurate, except for the tapes, that will be determined to be hearsay.
The Republican Senators will not vote against him.

There will be days or weeks of massive protests in the various cities and the Republican senators will change their minds and he will be impeached and removed from office.

The State of New York will file charges and the dismemberment of the Trump empire will occur as varied monied interests claim their debts.


Is Donald Trump's presidency on its last legs?

The worst hour of Donald Trump's presidency just happened

Mike R, Freelance Writer


Sadly, no. I honestly believe that Trump will be finished after having run for re-election in 2020 and lost. Yes, as appalled as I am by this sad, pathetic, childish, incompetent boob of a fake “President,”I do believe he’ll be around to run and lose in 2020. He won’t resign since that would be “weak” (ironically, a strong man would recognize he’s in over his head and is doing a terrible job and do the right thing by stepping down).

The Democrats will at least take the House in 2020, and will undoubtedly begin a new slew of investigations alongside the ones Bob Mueller is conducting. However, new investigations will take time and completed investigations won’t mean anything in terms of ousting Trump unless they lead to indictments and whether a sitting President can be indicted remains up in the air.

Trump has made it clear he will refuse to ever accept any consequences for his actions - ever. He’ll just bluster about witch hunts and sore losers and he’s being picked on for trying to make America great and blah blah blah blah blah. Perpetual victim. So, his intent is to just pardon anyone he wants for anything he likes, including himself, and it all just magically goes away. Whether he can actually do that may not be reality, but that’s what he honestly believes: that he has a permanent “get out of jail free” card.

Even if he can’t pardon everyone including himself I honestly believe he would refuse to accept any indictments and would attempt to shield himself with the military/start a war as distraction. This man has proven over the course of his life that he does not care about following the law, ever. Whether ripping off contractors, stiffing Trump University suckers, bragging about illegal sexual assault - you name it, he genuinely believes the rules don’t apply to him.

There aren’t enough patriots in Congress to carry out an impeachment and conviction of Trump. It would take 67 Senators to vote to convict him, and it’s just not going to happen with this spineless brigade of cowards. I’m not even convinced all the Democratic Senators would vote to convict. We’d be told it would be “too traumatic for this country” and it would “divide us even further.”

With that in mind, Mueller and other investigators may simply hunker down and wait for Trump to be out of office before unleashing an avalanche of indictments against him - both at a federal and state level, so that a potential Republican replacement can’t just immediately pardon him for everything he has done. They don’t want all their hard work to be for nothing.

So therein lies the rub. Trump WILL lose if he runs in 2020, and he knows clinging to power is his only chance. So when he loses in 2020, expect the typical tantrums from the loathsome little man-baby in office that it was rigged, it was stolen, the Democwats robbed him of the Pwesidency, and he won’t concede.

Which will make it all the more delightful when U.S. Marshalls enter the White House on January 20, 2021 and remove this disgusting excuse for a man, kicking and screaming. And then the avalanche of indictments will bury him.

On edit: sneering, name-calling and insults from Trump supporters will be deleted. If you want to catcall the “libtards” run along do so somewhere else.


Isn’t the Trump Russia collusion story just like the Obama birth certificate controversy: just a bunch of sore losers?

JRl, Author, Meditator, E.E., Perfumista, Epicure, World Traveler


I’m not disturbed about Trump only because of my personal faith in life, but I’ve certainly noticed things:

The Oval Office. Shortly after his election. A private meeting with RUSSIANS who are also spies. ALL American press banned. That has never happened in our history. McCain: Russian diplomat didn't belong in the Oval Office

Our White House. Our Oval Office that we pay for with our taxes. Our press that we rely on to warn of dangers to America. Russia. Our chief enemy. Same Russia that is breaking into ALL of our computer systems including our nuclear power plants as the FBI fights to protect us. Russian Hackers Attacking U.S. Power Grid and Aviation, FBI Warns Same Russia that has historically and repeatedly promised to bury us. Same Russia that interfered in our election to help Trump win. Key senators: 'no doubt' Russia sought to interfere in U.S. election

How has Trump responded? Attacked our allies—the countries Russia wants to defeat. Attacked our FBI—the domestic agency who counters not only Russia’s ongoing hostile actions against us, but is responsible for keeping us safe from terrorist attacks period. Trump congratulates, honors, meets with Russia’s dictator like no American President ever has. Finally, one of the things Mueller is investigating is large sums to Trump’s staff, and possibly to him too, paid by Russia. And daily we are watching everyone charged by Mueller either confess or be indicted.

Talk about handwriting on the wall.

Maybe Americans need to stop squabbling among themselves and wake the heck up.

I think Trump will end it when he makes it clear that he is within his constitutional rights.

“What” is within his constitutional rights.

Appreciate it if you could answer and clarify.

Thanks....tom

He can terminate the special counsel as not being in accordance with the constitution as far as I can ascertain. I expect to hear more along this line before he takes action. His executive powers seem to be broad and quite well defined. The only body or group with the power to convene an investigation would be congress. I am not looking for some futile argument, but simply answered your query.

Twardlow Loc: Arkansas

“He can terminate the special counsel as not being in accordance with the constitution as far as I can ascertain.”

Absolutely correct, but remember there is such a thing as politics, and firing Muller—while legal—carries a political price tag, a very serious political pricetag.

“He can terminate the special counsel as not being in accordance with the constitution as far as I can ascertain. I expect to hear more along this line before he takes action.”

And I quote the US Code, which is determinative:


28 CFR 600.1 - Grounds for appointing a Special Counsel.
eCFR
Authorities (U.S. Code)

§ 600.1 Grounds for appointing a Special Counsel.
The Attorney General, or in cases in which the Attorney General is recused, the Acting Attorney General, will appoint a Special Counsel when he or she determines that criminal investigation of a person or matter is warranted and -

(a) That investigation or prosecution of that person or matter by a United States Attorney's Office or litigating Division of the Department of Justice would present a conflict of interest for the Department or other extraordinary circumstances; and

(b) That under the circumstances, it would be in the public interest to appoint an outside Special Counsel to assume responsibility for the matter.

I assume this speaks finally on that issue.

I’d be willing to hear your thoughts.

No, just lookin’ shit up in order to be correct in what I say.

You should try it sometime.....

You got the opinion you requested. End of story.

Always the charge without the facts.

Doesn’t reality mean anything to you?

“Just the facts, ma’am, just the facts.”

The Trumpster has the power to fire Muller the lib hack. I think hes giving him enough rope to hang himself.

Twardlow Loc: Arkansas

The trumpster indeed has the power to fire Mueller, but there is a real political price to pay.

You know he can fire Mueller, I know he can fire Mueller, do you think Mueller knows he can fire Mueller?

Mueller certainly knows it better than you or I, d’ya think?

Could it be possible that Mueller has a strategy to cover that event? Would you in Mueller’s place.

Yes, I would, too.

I have no idea of what that strategy is, but I’m certain Mueller has one and knows.

Latest Post poll has trump at 60% disapproval, 53% very strongly disapprove.

What do you think firing Mueller would do to those numbers?

SharpShooter Loc: NorCal

If Tramp gives Mueller enough rope to hang himself...., It is NOT himself he will HANG!!! Get REAL old man!!! LoL

Give the ol' geezer some credit. He managed to actually stay on topic this time, rather than burping the 3000th repetition of "The bag lady lost get over it!" This is breaking new ground! The new medication the nurse put him on must be working!

You make a post for opinions to facilitate an argument or throw insults. How nice for you. I made no false statements. The opinions of others mean nothing to you. Fact is, you can go screw yourself, ma'am, go screw yourself.
