The possible end game scenarios for Trump
I see the most likely scenario to be #4:
Of course Pence then decides to pardon Trump to "heal the country". The GOP loses the White House in 2020.

I see the most likely scenario to be #4:
Quote:4. Republicans join Democrats in warning Trump not to fire Mueller. Mueller remains and keeps digging. Mueller subpoenas damaging documents; Trump refuses to comply. A court orders him to comply. He declares this a witch hunt, an attack on his family (or whatever). Then he resigns, claiming he has already made America great. He tells the country that Vice President Pence will carry on in his place. LESSON: Congress must protect Mueller and preserve the possibility that Trump may be forced to resign.
Of course Pence then decides to pardon Trump to "heal the country". The GOP loses the White House in 2020.
