Trump could be indicted
The possibility of Trump getting indicted is getting more real by the day. Rep. Eric Swalwell sits on both the House Intelligence and Judiciary committees. He knows what is going on more than anyone in the pundit class who spends their day speculating on Mueller’s next move. Indictments are coming. It’s just a matter of who is going to be indicted.
More indictments coming would explain why Trump is attacking John McCain and has generally been out of control.
The hammer is about to come down, and Trump can sense it. If Congress could change the law it means that America might not have wait until a prosecutor decides to test whether or not a sitting president can be indicted. Trump could face indictment while he is sitting in the Oval Office.
