Question. If they are looking at a possible cover up, doesn't that raise suspicions that they've found some criminal wrongdoing of some sort already? I mean... what after all would anyone need to cover up, if not criminal wrongdoing? I don't see how this statement doesn't send a message that they're on to something already.

Trump's only chance to remain in power is to commit so many crimes at such a high rate of speed and he is due in so many different courts at the same time that they can try him for nothing.

They're "threatening" to leave reddit after they claim their votes were turned to 0 by the mods. Also, that reddit is showing way less r/t_d users than compared in ad tools...(probably all those bots).

Their movement stopped being boosted after installing an idiot and now they realize they are a smaller group than they thought they were.

Also that pacific rim reference, damn straight.

You could hoodwink a bunch of voters to just tune it out. Politicians would tune it out by getting rid of the source.

If he steps down this year or the next year, how much time does Pence have, assuming he doesn't get taken down along with Trump) until he gets replaced? Do we get a special election? Especially if it comes to light that the Russians did dip their hands in our election?

as someone in Europe, I stopped following the Trump development in the last weeks so I have no idea what is going on, I just see many threads in the OT Forum with titles that read like he's going to get caught for something that went wrong and that Russians are involved..

is there a summary or explanation anywhere here in GAF of what 's been going on with Trump, preferably like it's for a 4 year-old toddler?

thanks in advance!

(everything below is prefaced with "alleged," no one has been convicted of any criminal charges at this time, etc.)

-Mike Flynn takes bribes from Turkey in exchange for favors. Is under active investigation. Obama warns Trump not to hire him due to this. Trump immediately hires Flynn as National Security Adviser.

-United States confirms Russia influenced US election. FBI Director James Comey heads official investigation into Russia ties to Trump campaign.

-Trump tries three times in private meetings with Comey to get him to pledge loyalty and bury anything involving Flynn in Comey's investigation. Comey refuses each time, documents all of it extensively, shares documentation with aides at FBI HQ as it happens.

-Trump suddenly fires Comey as FBI Director. Official statement claims the firing was prompted by a recommendation by Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein as to Comey's lack of fitness for duty. Soon to be relevant: Rosenstein is not pleased about how his involvement has been characterized.

-Lester Holt interviews Trump and, after pressing him repeatedly on the facts, Trump grandstands and, contrary to his original official statement, takes all the "credit" for deciding to fire Comey and claims he decided entirely on his own in order to put an end to the Russia investigation and that it wasn't influenced by any outside recommendations.

-Congress and the public: "?????????????????????????????????" Support grows for a special investigator take over the Russia investigation.

-DAG Rosenstein, fresh off Trump admin attempting to use him as a scapegoat for FBI Director Comey's firing, appoints Comey's mentor and predecessor, Sherlock Holmes x Judge Dredd x Living Embodiment of the United States Constitution, aka universally respected homing missile of justice former 12-year FBI Director Robert Mueller as special investigator into the Russia investigation and any associated corruption/collusion/obstruction/treason. Rosenstein does not consult with or notify Attorney General Sessions or the Trump administration before appointing Mueller.

-"Yes, a special prosecutor, I suppose that may be nece--wait, what? What just happened? Rosenstein did what? Mueller? Oh. My. Fucking. God."

Hey boss, you missed a few things. very notable things about tRyan's secrecy pledge over Putin's purported involvement, Pence knowing about Flynn's trial during heading of transition team, and even though he publicly said he didn't, then today's deluge.

A new election would seem fitting but they still have the line of succession. The line of succession should only work if the President dies. If he quits or impeached a new election should be run.
