The judicial system in the US is maddening at best and defers to wealth at worst.

Trump may be found innocent if he is insulated enough.

While he is no Teflon President and ignorance of the law is no defense he knows about sacrificial goats, loyalty and setting up fall guys and patsies.

Just looking guilty and having loads of circumstantial evidence is not enough for impeachment. Pense could be involved more deeply to the point of prosecution despite all his claims that he knows nothing. That leaves the speaker of the house in line for the Presidency.

Its too late for Pense to invoke the 25th amendment. Now he too faces a special prosecutor.

All of this speculation awaits the forthcoming evidence. The uninformed Trump base that blames media and routinely refutes facts automatically,
can be incited to do vengeful damage by Trump tweet orders and surrogate protests. For reasons to protect civility, the findings of Mueller may be altered to protect Americans from threats of insurrection. Maybe Trump will whine about unfairness all the way to exile in Mara Lago?

This sure is a nail biter all right
