Watching some of the people around Trump flail about, the image of quicksand comes to mind; the more they thrash, the deeper they sink. I think the reputations of many of Trump's closest collaborators are "FUBAR" -- Fouled Up Beyond All Repair. They may partially repair their reputations by resigning; getting fired would be even better. Getting fired by Trump might be perceived as a badge of honor.
<<I still think Trump's financial dealings hold the key to understanding his involvement with Russia. We need to see his tax returns.>>
I agree 100%. And I think we will see them.
