Politicians are afraid of telling people they are wrong when they will get voted out if they do. That's why america has so many guns, britain listened to nigel farage, and australia isoperatingoutsourcing gulags to serco in the pacific.

Some of the criticisms they've seen is disgusting, but it's coming from people who think it's a Democrat conspiracy.
Trump should be out after his responses, how can anyone hold those views and remain?

That's one worst case scenario.....
I'm guessing Mueller isn't done with Trump yet.
The big question is: will Congress still support Trump after Mueller's damning investigation is finished? Because once Trump loses Congress, he'll lose the presidency.
Another very likely worst case scenario is Mueller finishes his report and Congress dismisses the results as bipartisan and fails to impeach Trump. The Russians do another successful online propaganda campaign and Trump and the Republicans stay in power for another 2 years.
Remember, in today's political climate facts matter less than opinion so the above scenario is more likely than I would like to admit.

Supposedly the person he is most likely to have dirt on is Manafort, the one person involved in the campaign to have been indicted and not to have taken a plea deal. Good chance that could change now I guess.

Trump's inner circle is gradually being cracked like a raw egg. It's gonna be interesting to see how Trump manages to squirm himself through the upcoming year.
