It all sounds easy, I mean that’s why we have elections and policies with a safety net called articles of impeachment. And when you give both parties every reason to do whatever it takes to protect the Office yet for reason of Party and not of People, you’ll be fine till 2020 – PB/TK

Childproof the presidency – By Pascal Emmanuel Gorby /  May 18 2017

America is dusting off some of its favorite old political words. The “W” word: Watergate. The “O” word: Obstruction. And even the “I” word: Impeachment. We’ve even got a special prosecutor to look into Trump’s Russia connections.

It’s no wonder. President Trump’s scandals seem to be reaching escape velocity. First there was the allegation that Trump gave extremely sensitive classified information to the Russian foreign minister. Then the allegation that he leaned on his FBI director to stop an investigation into him. And then, presumably, fired him for failure to comply — and, crucially, that said director has evidence to support this allegation.

The whole things has a “Keystone Kops meet Watergate” feel. Say what you will about Tricky Dick and Slick Willie, at least they had tradecraft

At this point, it’s hard to see how Trump’s presidency doesn’t end in impeachment or resignation. Probably not tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. But at some point before the end of Donald J. Trump’s first term as president of the United States.

Why? Because these scandals have ways of building upon themselves. The more you dig, the more you find.

Even Republicans are starting to demand investigations. And once the hearings start, once the subpoenas start flying, once the leaking intensifies, the process will become self-sustaining. Each new investigation or scandal will yield another scandalous nugget which will yield another investigation, another subpoena, another hearing. Then there’s the fact that Trump is an erratic, incompetent, cowardly, and mentally unbalanced simpleton who is sure to make all of this worse.
