Following The Money
https://www.bloomberg.com/view/artic...als-at-bayrock
Bloomberg article worth reading. It won't be the collusion games that the Trump crime family dabbled in during the election that'll bring it down, it'll be the shady business dealings in the past that'll do it.

"A former senior official said Mr. Mueller’s investigation was looking at money laundering by Trump associates. The suspicion is that any cooperation with Russian officials would most likely have been in exchange for some kind of financial payoff, and that there would have been an effort to hide the payments, probably by routing them through offshore banking centers." NY Times

It wasn't the bootlegging and murder that brought down 'Scarface' Capone, it was tax evasion and money laundering.

Interesting stuff. Even if the FBI finds that Trump is guilty as hell, though, will the Repubes do anything? He has completely taken over their party...

Only if a vast number of undeniable felonies are staring them in the face and then only reluctantly.

Looking at the types and caliber of investigators that Mueller is hiring, Trump and his minions should be shitting their pants.
As an old FBI guy, Bob Felts aka Deep Throat once said to a couple of hotshot up and comers at the Washington Post, "Follow the money".

Worried what the lying bastard will do if he's cornered with irrefutable evidence of criminal activity. He has way too much power for someone so dishonest, and he never pulls his punches. Sure would love to see him locked up, where he almost certainly belongs.

The closer he gets to getting nailed, the more obstructive (and illegal) his behavior will become. He is simply unable to stop digging.

It all comes down to Mueller as the two congressional committees are just a couple of dog and pony shows.
