The affair is not the issue. He can still be guilty of election law violations, perjury (if and when he testifies under oath to Avennati or the SDNY), not to mention boatloads of financial crimes in cahoots with Cohen. Trump is in plenty of legal jeopardy from the SDNY and Mueller (and if he wasn't, he'd shut the hell up and not try to undermine the DOJ/FBI). Be patient, grasshopper. The real shitstorm hadn't even started yet.
