In the context of defeating threats related to 'muh Russia', the Mueller investigation and any potential impeachment efforts, I believe "Trump has already won".

In the context of revealing the FBI/DOJ coordinated plot to plan and execute an unlawful interference with an election, and then engage in conspiracy to commit treason against a sitting president, I believe "Trump has already won".

In those two specific instances, any doubts expressed by some posters as to the logical conclusion and end-game tactics tend to reveal a whiff of NeverTrump. So, following the rules of debate 101, if we can reach a consensus that the two points above are settled and tabled, then we can begin the fun part:

How does Trump solidify his (temporal) wins into a lasting, (semi) permanent restoration of the republic and rule of law?

This is where the question of prosecuting treason/coup will begin to get truly interesting, and will establish a framework for the next 100+ years of American history. I believe in the military option; others, for many valid reasons, believe Trump should adhere to traditional civilian legal procedures.

FR provides a great framework for publicly fleshing out & establishing a core framework for either case. Let the debate(s) begin.

As long as Robert Mueller is a special counsel with a charter of investigating the President, has an unlimited budget, the full support of the DOJ and many in Congress, and the full time dedication of the media to his cause, his threat should not be dismissed.

Here is an article that describes the thinking of some of those he is up against, and how they are planning to take down the President.

I personally think it's rather outlandish, but the media and many Congressmen would quickly go all in if Mueller released something like this in his final report. Would that be enough, I doubt it, but no one knows for sure. There are even some that believe that Trump may even be betrayed by his inner circle, such as those that advised him to fire Flynn, which started this whole mess. Do I believe that, not necessarily, but I do consider it proof that we really just don't know. It's not even clear how hard Trump himself is willing to fight, as you just highlighted.
