    Honestly, I don't think they actually support him (well, the sane conservative/Republicans). The nutbar MAGA people are delusional and mentally off their rockers. But the non MAGA sheep are likely to stay in his camp, but only because they know it gets under the "other sides" skin.

    There are a few posters here who you know that describes to a T.

    Remember when trump met with Putin with nobody else and no one recording (except Putin, I’m sure). I’m sure nothing suspicious was happening......

    You know, if Trump had any brains, he'd resign while in Argentina (I think thats where he is going today) and Pence would be made President.

    And then have Pence just pardon him, and put an end to our "long national nightmare".

    And yes i know he would never do this because as a non president he would totally be boned.

    Ex-Trump Official Anton: Mueller Hasn't Indicted Anyone for Collusion After 18 Months
    Asks how long probe will continue.

    Former Trump administration official Michael Anton said Thursday that Special Counsel Robert Mueller has yet to indict anyone on charges related to collusion with Russia during the 2016 campaign.

    The former National Security Council spokesman said Michael Cohen's new guilty plea is another example of Mueller pursuing a "process" crime rather than pursuing collusion-related offenses, which was the original goal of the investigation.

    Cohen, President Donald Trump's former lawyer, made a second plea agreement with federal prosecutors in New York, reportedly admitting to lying to Congress in 2017 about a Trump real estate deal in Russia.

    The appearance by Cohen in a downtown Manhattan courthouse was unexpected and is the first charge against Cohen related to the Mueller probe.

    McCarthy: Mueller Probe Started With 'Worthy' Purpose, But Turned Into 'Clown Show'

    Cohen previously pleaded guilty in New York to violating federal campaign finance laws by arranging hush-money payments to women in 2016 “at the direction” of then-candidate Trump.

    Anton asked on "America's Newsroom" how long Mueller is going to investigate if he cannot charge anyone after 18 months on a charge related to Trump-Russia collusion.

    "I personally haven't seen any evidence on that original charge. How long is this gonna take?" he asked.

    Anton said it's well known that Russia made "ham-fisted" efforts to interfere in the election, but the "serious question" of collusion by the Trump campaign has yet to be addressed by Mueller.

    He said Mueller's team of 30 or so prosecutors, working with a "huge" budget for 18 months, should be able to offer the public some evidence of collusion by now.

    Anton said Mueller appears to be operating with an "unlimited mandate" and no timetable, while widening the scope of the probe.

    "The special counsel can bring extraordinary pressure on people who maybe start out as witnesses and then become suspects or targets," he explained.

    Faux News again, lol.

    Maybe this will help:




    The ongoing Special Counsel investigation is a United States law enforcement and counterintelligence investigation of the Russian government's efforts to interfere, with primary focus on the 2016 presidential election. This investigation includes any possible links or coordination between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and the Russian government, "and any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation." In addition, the scope of the investigation reportedly includes potential obstruction of justice by Trump and others

    So Trump publicly complains about how long the special council is taking with the investigation while purposely dragging his feet on answering Mueller's questions. Pulls shady shit, coordinating a lie filled story with Manafort. Thinking that they've completely fooled Mueller. Trump finally turns in his answers and POW! Shit starts cracking!

    It's funny, all he would have had to say is, "I've never run for public office before, I was so focused on exposing corruption in all of politics I didn't see the bad actors and deep state infiltrating my campaign. I'm as much of a victim in all of this as the American public is."

    Instead he doubled down on the lies.

    Next step in the trump playbook will to be to deny that he wrote the answers and that his lawyers did it without his knowledge. Doesn't matter that he's on tape saying he wrote them, lol
