I'm kind of getting numb to these Trump-Russia stories. It's like every few days a big story comes out that looks so damning and everyone in this thread is like "Trump is so hosed now" and yet after every story nothing of real substance happens. The Republicans continue to mostly support the president and maybe a few might voice some "concerns" while voting for every cabinet nominee that Trump throws at them.

And yes I know the real investigation is with Mueller and little of it will be public and it will take a long time. But with every story that comes out it still feels like we aren't anywhere closer to Trump losing the amount of support he had on January 20th

Trump pardoning his son will be something. I bet they release a statement and refuse to talk about it otherwise until Trump starts bragging on Twitter.

so listen
you've got 4 years of trump. there is some chance that he'll be impeached but dont hold your breath. Follow these stories (or dont) because they're true and important, not because they'll make trump suddenly not be president.

Trump might still be in office but if he ends up being a lame duck President after his entire inner circle goes down I'll gladly take that.

I know what you mean and I agree, but my basic point is - barring some truly astonishing poo poo, trump will be president till 2020 and republicans will control the house and senate until at least 2018. expecting anything to change that is a recipe for disappointment.

Like, this news today is loving MASSIVE, but trump sr isn't going to be impeached based on his son's crimes, so...set expectations appropriately

(also he's already a lame duck president, in terms of legislative victories or direction, which is kind of very good news)

If 3 people confirmed the email to the press that means it isn't some super hidden secret but shared amongst a wider crowd.

Unless of course this is a setup to crush the press with FACK NACKS.

Just a pause in my opinion. I really think that Trump sr. genuinely believes he has not done anything wrong, and the media are liars who only want to destroy him and his family because they are jealous.
