If there is any sub class of people that should be condemned as meddlers in US politics and elections –way beyond anything Russia or whatever foreign power is capable of –it is the Koch brothers and company.

Nice to see we’ve reached the “collusion is not a crime” defense stage. Who cares if Trump collided with a foreign adversary to win the election, that’s not illegal. Thanks Rudy.

I’d love to see a reporter follow up with questions on how collusion might be related to conspiracy to commit election fraud.

They don’t need to. Nothing indictable at least. If the Democrats win in November however, it will be interesting to hear how the president proceeds.
An even worse scenario. The Mueller investigation clearly implicates Trump but he hangs on until the 2020 presidential election year and he loses the nomination either in the primaries or at a deadlocked GOP national convention which nominates a brokered and or drafted alternative candidate.
We know how vindictive and narcissistic he is and to him politics is simply about winning. Now if he should lose the biggest game of his life what will he try to do to get even?

Fake scenario!

Not a fake scenario but one that could play out if the GOP is faced with having to offer up an incumbent
candidate while impeachment hearings are going on and faced with the near certainty of losing the election or an acceptable alternative who could unite a fractured party and pull in enough independent and conservative Democrat votes to actually pull off a victory.
Think Nixon 1972. Yes he won but the Watergate investigation which was ongoing and pointed right at him and he either had to resign or be impeached less than 2 years later.
