Follow the money. Trump's Russian connection probably is due to his financial empire working to shelter and launder the money of kleptocrats from around the world, but especially Russia. | Follow the money.

We can only hope that Trump's ineptitude continues until Congress becomes majority Democratic Party. Then he will be largely hamstrung because unlike Obama, he is stupid. He hasn't even staffed up yet, and will likely not be able to do so for a while. | We can only hope that Trump's ineptitude continues until Congress becomes majority Democratic Party.

| + | Trump is going to resign in exchange for a pardon for all crimes from Pence. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The impeachment pressure is going to be immense from Democrats, and there will be resignation pressure from Republicans as well (who wish to distance themselves from the Trump debacle.) | ||
| + | |||
| + | Pence will be following the tradition set by Gerald Ford when he pardoned Richard Nixon. He will be viewed by Trump's base as being considerate of their hero, and ending his travails. All the Democractic Party led inquiries into Trump will be ended, probably long before they can be useful during the election cycle. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Trump will get freedom from worry for almost all of his crimes. (Not crimes in NY state, and maybe not tax liabilities.) It's a good question how many of his family and other cronies will be pardoned. Pence would solve that problem with a new staff and cabinet. This also solves the problem of whether the president can pardon himself. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Pence and the Republican party will benefit from excising Trump. Pence is not really impeachable, and probably won't get into that trouble in the year before the election. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Republicans in the Senate can force Trump to resign by simply saying they have the votes in hand to agree with the impeachment. They would only need perhaps 10. | ||
