I could see this being a lot of smoke and no fire. I feel like we all know the Trump admin had ties to Russia, so it's just really frustrating seeing little-to-know details of these ties exposed.

I would certainly hope that fellow Republicans wouldn't want to be associated with the scandal. That being said, so many Trump voters are delusional, so many choose to believe this is all a 'set up' cause dems are mad they lost. If this was a "Trump has some 'small' conflicts of interest ooops" type deal then sure, it would be partisan - maybe the Democrats would try for an impeachment (pretending they have the majority) but my guess is that the Republicans would see it as a small scandal and would not impeach. Republicans would be forced to impeach if Trump was found to have ties with Russia though. Establishment Republicans don't really like him as it is, but such a scandal would severely damage the party - they would need to take quick, decisive action to make sure the party isn't tainted. Anyway, my hope is that Pence is also found to have links to Russia and to be compromised by Russia (I very highly doubt it, but man can dream). If both are impeached then Paul Ryan becomes president, and while that's still awful Fox News, Breitbart and basically every conservative news outlet has shot themselves in the foot having constantly portrayed him as a weak, ineffective and slimy sell out. I mean: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/03/30/paul-ryan-trump-very-apologetic-for-promoting-judge-jeanine-segment/ This article is about the fact that Trump told everyone to watch FOX News host Jeanine Pirro bash Paul Ryan - but even the article frames Paul Ryan as the the one who failed to pass the Obamacare replacement bill and frames it as "Ryan's" replacement bill "Following the failure of Ryan’s Obamacare replacement bill, Trump asked his Twitter following to watch Judge Jeanine’s FOX News show Justice with Judge Jeanine, on which she delivered a blistering attack of Ryan and his failure to pass a successful bill." It's not just one article from Breitbart either, it's multiple - and multiple from Drudge and Fox News and other right wing publications as thinkprogress points out. https://thinkprogress.org/breitbart-trumpcare-e5504aaeb54f?gi=42169093dc9 If Paul Ryan becomes president he has all of Trump's supporters hating him (and probably blaming him in some conspiracy to get Trump out of office to claim the presidency himself), he has democrats hating him and he has a damaged Republican party. 2020 looks a whole lot sweeter. Like I said though - that's just a dream. Don't think it's realistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way that he was involved with it But still, ugggh it's such a satisfying fantasy. I mean, to have Trump impeached and replaced by Paul Ryan???

I mean, to have Trump impeached and replaced by Paul Ryan??? It's almost as bad as Hillary getting in Hillary would be a dream right now! We wouldn't be looking at a total reversal of climate change policies, defunding of Planned Parenthood, taking funds away from the homeless, elderly, hungry and poor...or holding people at airports because they are brown or their name sounds "suspicious". We would be looking at ways to fix Obamacare, not repeal it. We wouldn't be wasting time on idiotic policies like the Muslim ban or a useless wall. We wouldn't be separating law abiding undocumented people from their US born children/teenagers. Hillary is a million times better than any Republican you have been discussing. The GOP are actively keeping Pence far away from the President for a reason. They know if Trump goes down, Pence will be an acceptable replacement for the Republican base and even the diehard Trump supporters. (He has been loyal to Trump throughout the election run, transition and his term thus far. I doubt very seriously that Pence was wound up in this Russia mess and he will be a welcomed replacement for the majority of the GOP base. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't grant immunity to confess to your own crimes. Unless he provides evidence that leads to an indictment of someone higher up (basically just Trump at this point) he's not going to get any sort of immunity. His lawyer said that "He has a story to tell" so I'm guessing he's reading the writing on the wall and getting ahead of the treason noose.

Maybe I was unclear, it is used to freely confess to your own crimes, but it's only applicable if your testimony will take down a bigger fish. Basically, sell out your boss, and you'll be safe.
