How many more Trump advisers may go to jail?
The Ukraine incident is very close to Watergate. A sitting President trying to affect who the opposing party will run against him in an upcoming election.
Like Nixon, Trump is surrounded by staff and aides who are trying to cover up his dirty deeds. In the end Nixon resigned but several of his closest aides went to prison.
How many more will go to prison for blind loyalty to a dirty President. Look how many Trump minions have already gone to jail.
It will be an intersting year coming up.
