The Russia thing is not going away. Robert Mueller is like a dog with a bone.
I think that Paul Manafort is the key. He's up to his eyeballs in legal trouble. My prediction is that Mueller will offer him a deal that he can't refuse and that Trump's former campaign manager will flip and be a witness for the prosecution.
And Mueller also has his teeth into Trump's long-time personal secretary. She knows pretty much everything. If she flips, it's Game Over.
game over for what? Republicans pass the policies democrats are there to keep them in place so they look like the good party. Nothing will change under this system either way, hillary is just as much a member of the ruling class as trump.
Game over for the Trump Presidency. But, yeah, Pence will don the empty suit and the kabuki theater will continue.
