one of the 4000 sealed indictments has his name on them.

No doubt...

He is going to jail

Why do people cling to that fantasy?

Nobody except republicans go to jail and I can think only of one: Denny Hastert

They resign and move onto K street or a political activist position.

Name one democrat federal political figure who has gone to prison in the last 20 years...

Have you looked at all the resignations and retirements? When do remember ever seeing something like this? 80's? on this scale?. What den retires for sexual harassment??? They do not even retire if they drown a woman in their care and do not go get help. What woman quits of sexual harassment???? How many "medical" boots do you see around, hint more than they are showing you in the media with the waist up tv shots.

You are watching the swamp drain of the lesser crooks. Ask yourself what is going to happen to the big players because everyone of these guys made a deal to get to go home.....What do you think they gave up?

I do not think the 4,000 indictments(supposedly much, much more now) are all politicians and deep state. I think that many investigations were stopped under Obama and a lot of these are just backed up investigated cases that are allowed to go forward now. But I am sorry, I have never seen anything like what is going on in DC, Hollywood and the media in my life. Something major is going down and we are being prepared with the leaks that are not favorable to Dems, rinos and the deep state. That IG report has 1.2 million pages of documents.

If that does not convince you, McCain back in the hospital should. Who has brain surgery and not have hair shaved around the incision?
