If Gen. Flynn pleads guilty to lying when he didn't lie (because he can't afford the legal expenses to fight the accusations, and to stop them from going after his son), then Cohen can agree to plead guilty to an illegal contribution which wasn't really illegal, in order to stave off more serious charges.
One of the impeachable offenses is bribery. If the Democrats regain the House in the 2018 election, maybe they will make bribery (hush money paid to Stormy Daniels or the other woman) one of the articles of impeachment.
Indeed. I believe these charges and their timing are nothing more than an attempt to influence the 2018 midterms so that the (D)'s take back the house...thus allowing them control to impeach the president on something that may not even exist...therefore effectively stopping Trump and MAGA and any further swamp draining.
The 2018 midterms will be the single most pivotal point in our country's history save perhaps for the CW era.
