WHILE POPULAR MEMORY today remembers Watergate as five DNC burglars leading inexorably to Richard Nixon’s resignation two years later, history recalls that the case and special prosecutor’s investigation at the time was much broader; ultimately 69 people were charged as part of the investigation, 48 of whom pleaded guilty or were found guilty at trial.
After three weeks of back-to-back-to-back-to-back bombshells by federal prosecutors and special counsel Robert Mueller, it’s increasingly clear that as 2018 winds down, Donald Trump faces a legal assault unlike anything previously seen by any president—a total of at least 17 distinct court cases stemming from at least seven different sets of prosecutors and investigators. (That total does not count any congressional inquiries, nor does it include any other inquiries into other administration officials unrelated to Russia.)
While the media has long short-handed Mueller’s probe as the “Russia investigation,” a comprehensive review of the cases unfolding around the president and the question of Russian influence in the 2016 campaign harkens back to another lesson of Watergate: Deep Throat’s dictum, “Follow the money.”
More than two years in, the constellation of current investigations involve questions about foreign money and influence targeting the Trump campaign, transition, and White House from not just Russia, but as many as a half-dozen countries. Prosecutors are studying nearly every aspect of how money flowed both in and out of Trump’s interconnected enterprises, from his hotels to his company to his campaign to his inauguration. While President Trump once said that he’d see investigations into his business dealings as crossing a “red line,” it appears that Trump himself obliterated that line, intermingling his business and campaign until it was impossible for prosecutors to untangle one without forensically examining the other.
Obviously, some of these investigations below may—or will—eventually overlap. Many of the players, particularly those like Michael Cohen, may end up central to multiple cases. And the existence of an investigation does not necessarily mean convictions will follow.
There’s also plenty we don’t know about who else Mueller and other investigators might have in their sights, or who might be cooperating. There’s even a special mystery witness Mueller was fighting in court last week. Notably, most of the open investigations involve known cooperators, not to mention likely millions of documents, telephone calls, recordings, emails, communications, and tax returns assembled by the special counsel and other prosecutors.
Here’s a complete rundown of the various known investigations targeting Trump’s world from local, state, and federal prosecutors:
Investigations by the Special Counsel
1) The Russian Government’s Election Attack: The special counsel moved aggressively to outline and charge the Russian government’s core attack on the 2016 election, which included both active cyber intrusions and data theft by the military intelligence unit GRU, as well as the GRU’s attempted attacks on the US voting system, as well as online information influence operations by the Internet Research Agency, known by the moniker “Project Lakhta.” Numerous threads from this investigation remain unseen—including a possible cooperator inside the Internet Research Agency, Putin’s own involvement, if any Americans contributed knowingly to the attack, the role of the FSB’s “Cozy Bear” hackers, and if or how Russia’s expensive and multi-pronged attack coordinated with contacts between Russian nationals and the Trump campaign over the course of 2016, including the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting. Mueller has also reportedly been investigating the role of late GOP activist Peter Smith, who had apparently tried to locate stolen emails and make contact with Russian hackers. It’s also unclear what has sparked Mueller’s apparent continued interest

If the President colluded with Russia, that would be Treason.
He wouldn't be sitting in the oval office or on his Golden Toilet at home either. He'd be staring down the wrong end of a firing squad.
Feel free to keep deluding yourself if you'd like. The longer you guys let this go on in your own heads, the more messed up it's going to make you when nothing comes of any of this.

And how would that happen exactly? Just some goons watch cnn and say, "yup, he's a traitor," and then walk into the the oval office and take him out?? It's not a 30 minute tv episode and Trump hasn't turned it into a third world back water yet (sorry SIGGY!). Think it through one time.

It took decades to unravel Nixon’s sabotage of Vietnam peace talks. Now, the full story can be told.

6ix, Nixon never went to jail. He was never worried about a firing squad. As the story goes, President Johnson blamed Candidate Nixon for strangling a chance for peace. He lashed out at Dirksen. “I’m reading their hand, Everett,” Johnson told his old friend. “This is treason.” If LBJ had been a better President, he would have had Nixon shot for treason and damn the consequences. If Obama was a better President, he would have had Trump shot for treason and damn the consequences. To be blunt, Nixon and Trump would not be even in the first 1,000 people that LBJ and Obama have ordered killed, but they would have been the first political opponents. There would have been serious legal consequences for LBJ and Obama after leaving office. Neither LBJ nor Obama wanted that kind of trouble for themselves, which is why they weren't particularly good Presidents. Instead of doing what needed to be done, LBJ and Obama both set themselves up for quiet, profitable, uncontroversial retirements with no pending lawsuits for "illegally" killing traitors Nixon and Trump.
Obama and Hillary could have kept Trump out of the White House without murdering him: instruct the Democrats in the Electoral College to vote for Mitt Romney. If some of the GOP electors took the same cue, Romney would have got the 270 votes he needed to be President. Romney got 47.2% of the popular votes in 2012. Trump got fewer: 46.1% in 2016.

The economy is about to take a nosedive toward Depression-like numbers, the DOW is playing leapfrog, and cabinet members, as well as campaign officials, are going to jail...yet, here we are still invoking the "Hillary/Obama card"
Well, I guess that means that they both are VIPs. Let's see...criminals or VIPs. Even Fox knows the deal. Hmmmm, that's a tough one.

Do you believe that people here think that just because Obama and Bush lied their asses off and just because Hillary ran a "pay to play" operation through the Clinton Foundation and that Bill used the Foundation as a personal piggybank that we think that every other politician should be able to do the same, with the same impunity???
Oh, no, muchacho.
"BUT OBAMA" is not a defense of Trump, son, it's a criticism of you.
I criticized Bill Clinton, who (BTW) set the stage for our great Financial Crisis of 2008. I criticized GWB long and loud for shredding the Constitution, promoting wars of choice, and sacrificing the poor to feed the rich. I gave Obama a chance, but when he failed to deliver on his promises, I criticized him, too- for following exactly the same policies as GWB and delivering a "health care system" that was a giant wet kiss to the health care industry.
And when I criticize Trump, it's not because of your stupid RUSSIA!!! hysteria, which is a completely made-up issue (brought to you by the deep state btw). And it's not because of his tweets, but because he failed to make good on the three things that I think are ESSENTIAL to getting America on the right track.

You think the economy* is "about" to take a nosedive?
Son, the economy took a nosedive a long time ago. We don't have a middle class anymore, or haven't you noticed? So who do we thank for THAT?
Take a deep breath. Go check out some basic statistics like ... number of manufacturing jobs. Wealth gap. Fed balance sheet v stock prices. Federal deficit. Balance of trade. See if you can pinpoint where the problem lies.
*PS: "The economy" is not the stock market.
